We have breakfast reservations that are prior to park opening at MK. How far in advance of your reservation can you get through the front gate to get to the restaurant?

Is there a special gate to go to or do you just go to one of the entrances on either side of the train station? if so do you get ugly snares from people waiting for rope drop?

What do you need to show at the gate to let them know you have a reservation, or do they look it up in the system?

You can get into the park about 20-30 minutes before your reservation time. You scan your band at the gates and then find the Cast Member standing at the train station arch (the last time we went early she was on the left side). Tell the CM you have a breakfast reservation and he/she will check a list for your party name. Then you're free to walk to the restaurant. Take your time and take pictures. You'll never see Main Street as empty as it is before the park opens! There are even PhotoPass photographers out this early, so make sure you get a picture with NOBODY in the background!

Thanks, that is one of the reasons we decide on an early breakfast ressie at MK, to be able to see the park that empty and get some great photo ops. Nice to know the Photopass photogs are already out.

Doing BF at BOG so any opinions on how the breakfast is there are welcome

Not only is MK mostly empty and the PhotoPass photographers out, but most days, the various Main Street vehicles are out as well. Last August, we had an early appointment for our Granddaughter at Bibbity-Bobbity-Boutique. We were able to get a ride on one of the cars from the train station to the Castle. Really cool.

In all my visits I have never taken a ride on any Main St vehicles, something else to look forward to!
