Family would like to see BOG, so I looked for an ADR today, and found one for 9:20am that fits into our plans. Park opens at 9am. Any chance they let us in early than the 9am opening time? Not that it matters, but I plan on doing the pre-order thing (which just cracks me up - "Hey family, how do you want you eggs next month, poached or scrambled??"

Just didn't know if I go up to the gate at say 8:30 and say we have an ADR at 9:20, will they let us go ahead?

They have a list of guests and their ADRs at the far left side of the entrance. My GUESS is they would let you in possibly at 8:50, but 8:30 seems a little too early. Im not positive though, so maybe someone who as actually done this can chime in. I had an 8:05 ressie and I got there at 7:35. They wouldnt let me in until 7:45.

No. It's not a pre park opening breakfast time, so you won't get in at pre park opening. They will likely let everyone in a bit before 9.

You won't get in early unless your ADR is scheduled for a time before Park opening.

Okay - Thanks! We'll just stream in with the crowd and head to BOG. It is the Sunday of marathon weekend (and I am hoping most of the runners are gone by then) so I thought they may be a bit more lax about letting people in, since the park would be up and running for the marathon.

What "up and running" for a marathon means vs. letting people in are two different things, speaking as someone who has organized large events like a marathon that involve closing roads. While MK itself is a "closed" space, a lot of the same principles apply as apply when they're doing parades or similar. They're unlikely to let a lot of extra people in with their own agendas.
