Hello Claire, and welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Like you, I have made many pre-park opening breakfast reservations at
Cinderella’s Royal Table. There is nothing quite like the experience of dining inside the iconic and majestic Cinderella Castle and enjoying tableside royal encounters with Disney Princesses. We have also enjoyed the magic of walking down a near-empty Main Street, U.S.A. on our way to Cinderella Castle, and, of course, taking plenty of photographs in front of the castle.
As you know, starting January 9, 2017 there will be a new park opening show debuting on the Castle Forecourt Stage. As a result, park guests will now be able to enter the Magic Kingdom before park opening to enjoy a leisurely stroll along Main Street, U.S.A. or perhaps a quick breakfast or Starbucks coffee from the Main Street Bakery before park opening.
Information which has been released about the new show can be found on the
Disney Parks Blog. At this time, Disney has not announced when guests will first be able to enter the park. Therefore, until further details are released or the new park opening procedures come into effect, it is difficult to provide you with more specific information. While I suspect pre-park opening breakfast reservation holders will likely still be given initial access to the park before other guests, at this point it is too early to know for sure. Fortunately as the new park opening show will debut before your scheduled visit, we will likely have more information about the new park opening procedures well before your reservation. Therefore you may want to check back with us shortly.
Wishing you all the best as you countdown to your upcoming trip!
