hello and welcome to guest kingdom's shop and welcome center.

Many of the shops on Main Street now open early to welcome guests. Since all of the guests will be walking down Main Street does that mean shops and restaurants will be open? Yes. What restaurants offer Early Morning Dining Reservations at the Magic Kingdom? Be Our Guest, Crystal Palace and Cinderella’s Royal Table offer early morning ADR’s. However, gone are the days of a completely empty park during the hour between 8am – 9am. This means that you still have ample time to take a few pictures and make your way to your restaurant of choice before the park opens to the general public. So what does this mean for people with early morning dining reservations? If you have a dining reservation from 8:00 – 8:45 am the Cast Members will allow you into the parks earlier than the rest of the guests, a client recently told me that they were allowed in around 7:40 am before the gates were open to the general public. Guests staying at a Walt Disney World Resort will then be allowed past the checkpoint to enjoy early morning attractions while off-site guests will be confined to the Castle Stage area until after the opening show.

But what happens if its a day that Magic Kingdom is having early morning Extra Magic Hours? On these days, the Cast Members standing in the gateways to each land will be equipped with MagicBand scanners that will be used to confirm that you are staying on-site.
