Royal Greetings, Lakshmi! Thanks for bringing this most majestic question to us here at planDisney! It sounds like you've got a most regal appointment for a young princess or a young knight during your visit to the Walt Disney World Resort; I still have the best memories of my two princesses undergoing royal transformations when they were younger, and those are some of my most cherished Disney experiences even now!
Lakshmi, if
Early Theme Park Entry is scheduled for 8:30 AM, the gates to Magic Kingdom will likely open right around 7:30 - 7:45 AM, as you said. In my recent experience with rope drop at this theme park, there was no separate line or entrance point for those with early reservations, and all guests were allowed to enter the park at the same time. Cast Members assured those with early reservations not to worry, as they would be expected to arrive once the park was opened.
Once you arrive for your appointment, you'll receive the absolute royal treatment! I loved that there were
PhotoPass photographers on site to capture all the magic so I could sit back and enjoy the experience alongside my girls. Once your appointment is complete, I always recommend taking time to stop by
Sir Mickey's gift shop which houses the Royal Portrait Studio. Inside, you'll be able to have more photos taken of your princess or knight, and those downloads are included with your
Memory Maker purchase! It's a great way to capture those images to look back on forever!
Lakshmi, I hope this helps, and I hope you have a magical vacation and a magical experience at the
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique! If there's anything else we can

planDisney!
Magic Awaits,
Alison
