    I have a reservation for breakfast at 8:30 in Hollywood Studios . Early park entry starts at 8:30 am. What is the earliest time can I enter the park to go to this reservation?

    Hey there, Cristina!

    As a fellow Ocean Stater, I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome you to planDisney! It's always a special treat to connect with someone from our little corner of New England who's gearing up for a magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation. I'm so glad you stopped by with your question, and I'm truly honored to be a small part of your planning journey. Helping Guests like you make the most of every magical moment is what we love most!

    If you've secured a breakfast reservation at Hollywood Studios before the park officially opens for the day, you're in for a magical treat...and a bit of a head start! Disney allows Guests with early dining reservations to enter the park before both the general public and those using Early Theme Park Entry. This special access ensures you have plenty of time to make your way to the restaurant and enjoy your breakfast without feeling rushed. 

    In my experience, if your reservation is at 8:30 AM, you can typically plan to enter the park around 8:00 AM. When you arrive at Hollywood Studios, look for signage or ask a Cast Member to direct you to the entrance area designed for early dining reservations. There's usually a clearly marked line or separate queue where Cast Members will confirm your reservation, so be sure to have your confirmation number handy in your My Disney Experience app

    Arriving early sets the tone for a more relaxed start to your day. You'll get to enjoy a delicious meal before the park begins to fill with Guests. Plus, by the time you finish breakfast, you'll already be inside and ready to jump into the fun! It's such a great way to make the most of your morning and kick off a magical day at Hollywood Studios. 

    Just a friendly reminder, if you're staying at a Disney Resort, you'll have the added perk of being able to purchase your Lightning Lane passes up to 7 days before your check-in date. For Guests staying off property, Lightning Lane passes become available 3 days before each park visit.

    I hope this information is helpful, Cristina! If you have any other questions throughout your planning, come see us again...we're always happy to help!

    Magical Wishes,

    Kami
