Hi Krystal!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question.
I'm so happy to hear you'll be enjoying breakfast at
Be Our Guest Restaurant during your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. It's by far one of my favorite dining experiences at all four Walt Disney World theme parks! The gorgeous restaurant really captures the feel of being in Beast's Castle, from the snow falling outside the windows of the Grand Ballroom to the enchanted rose in the West Wing.
For an 8:15am reservation, I'd recommend arriving at the entry to
Magic Kingdom Park no later than 8:00am. Since you'll be staying off property, you'll need to allow plenty of time to park and make your way to the entry. Guests visiting Magic Kingdom by car will park at the Ticket and Transportation Center, then travel by monorail or ferryboat to the entrance to the park. I would recommend trying to arrive at the parking area by 7:20/7:30am.
Once you reach the entry of Magic Kingdom Park, look for Cast Members with signs to indicate the entrance for guests with early dining reservations (typically to the far left). With your valid theme park ticket and Advance Dining Reservation confirmation number (not always needed, but I always keep my confirmation numbers in the notes on my phone), you should be able to enter the park at least 15-20 before your dining reservation.
I hope this helps with your planning. Have a magical day! - Diane W.
