    With the new Magic Kingdom opening and early entrance I am wondering how early I can be let in for an 8am Crystal Palace reservation? I am hoping to get some alone time on Main Street for some magical photos before the rush of people. Thank you.

    Hello, Abigail!

    We're so happy to hear from you again here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Thank you for bringing us your great question.

    On my trip last week I happened to ask a Disney Security Guard Cast Member at Magic Kingdom Park about how the new opening procedure works with early morning Advance Dining Reservations. I was told that for a 9 AM scheduled opening, Guests, including those with Advance Dining Reservations, are usually let in between 7:45 - 8:00 AM. While this doesn't bring you the best news for your desired magical photos, I did still notice plenty of wonderful spots to capture a few pictures without heavy crowds and prior to Let the Magic Begin. 

    Have a magical vacation, Abigail, and please let us know if there is anything else we are able to assist you with.

    Pixie Dust, 

    Lauren
