    How do you get to an early dinning reservation that is booked before the park opens. Say the reservation is at 8:30 but the park does not open until 9

    Hi, there!
     
     Veronica, I'm so pleased to hear you'll be visiting the Walt Disney World Resort this Spring. Magic will be blooming all around you!

     I love early morning dining reservations. My family always plans a few during our weeklong stays! When we enjoy a hearty breakfast before the theme park opens, we're not "eating up" our precious park time. 

     If you have a breakfast reservation before the theme park officially opens, getting there is no problem! Transportation is generally available 30-60 minutes prior to park opening, but in my family's experience, we've always been able to hop on a bus closer to 90-minutes prior. To be sure transportation will be available to get you to your reservation on time, I recommend chatting with the concierge at your Resort hotel the day before. If complimentary transportation will not be available early enough, not to fret! Simply hail a convenient and cute Minnie Van using the Lyft app. When you arrive at the theme park, you'll see a sign for Guests with early morning reservations. Simply head over there, check-in with the Cast Member, and you'll be all set!

     When my family and I have a reservation before the park opens, I like to plan on getting to the gate with plenty of time to spare. This gives us a chance to take our time walking to the dining location and even snap a family photo in a mostly-empty park!

     Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Veronica. Please let us know if you have any other questions!
