    Hi! We have MNSSHP tickets for 9/14. We were planning to do AK that day and the party that night. We have CRT adr @ 4pm. Can we still get into MK @4pm (using party tickets) then head straight to CRT? No park hoppers. Will this plan work? Thank you!!

    Hi Jo!  I am assuming you do not have Park Hopper tickets during your Disney stay. In the past special event ticket holders were allowed into the parks a couple of hours early so they could enjoy a dining reservation and this would also alleviate huge crowds at the gates at 7pm.  Each year we are given notice that they will not allow this as generously as in the past but as yet I have personally not had an issue.

    Your timing is going to be questionable as a 4pm ADR at Cinderella's Royal Table means you would have to actually enter the park no later then 3:45 to make the walk to the castle. Allowing you in this early might depend on who you ask at the entrance gates. You can try for something later or just take the risk and attempt it explaining you would lose the deposit etc if not able to reach the restaurant on time. Unfortunately the timing is not written in stone and therefore a decision you will have to make about the chances. I have ADR for one of the special event evenings but at a later time around 5:30pm.
