Getting in park for an early ADR

[ncrohrs]

Hello,

I was just wondering how soon they will let you in a park for an ADR.

We have a 9:25 am breakfast ressie at tusker house. AK opens at 9 am that day. How soon can we get in for our ressie? Sooner than 9 am?

Also, how does that work? Is there a separate entrance? Is it quicker? We have never been there right when a park opens so I don't know what to expect.


Oh, and this will be in early Feb.

Thank you!!!!!

If it's an early EMH day and you're a resort guest, you can get in at 8. If it's not, you probably won't get in sooner than 9 am unless your ADR is closer to 9. A 9:25 ADR would give you plenty of time to get in for regular admission time and get to your ADR. They do let people with ADR times before park opening into the park early.There's no separate entrance. In that event, they usually have names on a list to confirm, I think (it has been a few years since I've had a pre-park opening ADR).

:ditto: DAK works differently. They actually escort the guests to their ADRs so with a 9:25 ADR it's doubtful you would get in before park opening and there's no real benefit to it. It's not like at MK where you can stop and take pictures.

Never been escorted to an early AM ADR at Tusker House. Just casually walked back to the restaurant.

They may have changed that, then. The only time I've gone in before park opening was a couple of years ago and we were escorted back.

I had 8am res. In 09. EMH started at 8, and they wouldn't even let me in before 8 ahead of the masses. Very disorganized, the only thumbs down of the trip.
