Heigh-Ho Stephanie,
Starting your day early in Magic Kingdom Park and dining at Cinderella's Royal Table has always been one of the most memorable moments for me. Main Street U.S.A. was wide open and my daughter was running towards Cinderella Castle in her Cinderella ball gown. The pictures of that moment are some of the most precious I will ever have.
During the week of your stay, Magic Kingdom park opens its gates at 9:00 a.m. to everyday Guests, be sure to
check the schedule for any changes. However, Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort are privy to
Early Theme Park Entry, allowing them to enter 30-minutes early. Disney transportation usually starts running an hour before park entry. Taking all of this into consideration, I agree I would take a rideshare to the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC). Plan to arrive around 7:15 a.m. to the TTC this is where the rideshare pick-up and drop-off are located for Magic Kingdom park. From the TTC you can either choose to board the
Express Monorail or the
Ferryboat. Arriving early will guarantee you are closer to the front of the line. Both options will take you to the entrance of Magic Kingdom park where you will look for a Cast Member or a sign specifically for Guests arriving for early dining reservations. They are usually towards the left of the entrance. Here a Cast Member will confirm your reservation and scan your tickets for entry into the park and onward to your dining destination.
Enjoy your upcoming visit and if I can be of any further assistance feel free to ask.
Have a Practically Perfect Day,
Amy M.
