    We have PPO reservations (8:45am) at Crystal Palace in June, with the new welcome show at Cinderella Castle allowing all guest to enter at 8:20am can we get in earlier (what time) so we can have photos?

    Hello, Hillary! I simply adore having breakfast at the Crystal Palace with my family! That gorgeous buffet mixed with Pooh and the gang visiting our table is a great way to start our morning. 

    The turnstiles typically allow guests into the park about an hour before the park officially opens, and usually not before, even for guests with breakfast reservations (it won’t be a problem with your 8:45 reservation). The new welcome show, ‘Let the Magic Begin,’ takes place about 10 minutes before the park officially opens. In the meantime, you’ll be able to take photos, shop the emporium, or sip that must-have cup of coffee from the Main Street Bakery.  While you’re there, be sure to grab that special Starbucks You Are Here: Magic Kingdom mug and send it back to your Disney Resort via the complimentary Package Pickup service

    If you’re awake early enough to be one of the first folks into the park, the way should be fairly clear enough to snap a few photos with scarce crowds. Don’t lose track of time, though. You’ll need to be with your party on the steps of the Crystal Palace about 10 minutes before your reservation time in order to properly check-in with the hostess stand. You won’t feel any “rumblies in your tumbly” after that awesome breakfast! ~Lindsey
