Hi Kaitlin, welcome to planDisney!
Congratulations on securing a reservation for
Cinderella's Royal Table in Magic Kingdom Park! What a great way to start your day! You are correct, although subject to change,
Early Theme Park Entry for Disney Resort Hotel Guests is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on December 23, 2023. However, Cast Members tend to let Guests into the park before then so they can line up inside the park for Early Entry.
My recommendation would be to arrive at Magic Kingdom Park by 7:30 a.m. as the parks will be especially crowded as we get closer to Christmas. Once you arrive, look for Cast Members carrying tall signs indicating the entrance for Guests with early morning dining reservations, usually at the turnstiles on the left side. There are plenty of Cast Members available that can help you find the correct entrance if you have any difficulty. Once you are in that line, you will be one of the first to enter Magic Kingdom Park so you can get to your breakfast reservation on time. Please check the
Hours & Events Calendar the day before your reservation to confirm hours and adjust your arrival time for any changes that may occur.
You are going to love the feeling of strolling down Main Street, U.S.A. as you head towards Cinderella Castle. It's also a great time to take pictures without too many people in the background.
Have the most magical vacation, Kaitlin!
