I managed to get a 9.15 BOG ADR on Thursday. Will we be able to enter before the park opens at 9, or will we be with the other rope droppers?

Oh poo
Are you surprised that someone is asking and then disappointed at the answer? A lot of people ask this question because they're hoping to get pictures on an empty Main Street, or one reason or another. Of course, we know it doesn't work that way, but it's not a ridiculous question.1) Huh ????
2) Even if not let in early, you still can make your ADR time.
3) I repeat, "huh"?
I asked a similar question about our 9:10 BBB reservation. Someone confidently stated that no, I would enter with everyone else, which turned out to be wrong. We were let in early. CMs said everyone who has a reservation before 9:15 (not sure if 9:15 is included or not) got to go in the pre-park opening line.
Pooh is at Crystal Palace.Oh poo
That's curious. This is the first time I've ever heard of someone being let in early with a reservation after opening. In my experience, they have a printed list of all ppo reservations. Were you on the list? Or did they look up your your reservation some other way?I asked a similar question about our 9:10 BBB reservation.

I've heard this elsewhere, and it seems to be a common practice. However, there are rarely any guarantees at WDW that any "common practice" will not be changed on a given day. "common" does not mean "universal".Last week they were letting in early anyone with a ADR up to 9.15 on the 3 mornings I went to MK rope drop. They were announcing it via loud speaker.

Yes, they had a list of all people with reservations before (possibly including) 9:15 and our 9:10 BBB reservation was on it. This was this August.That's curious.

This only makes sense as someone getting there at 8:45 or so, for a 9:15 ADR is going to be caught up in the huge crowds there for park opening. It makes it even more difficult to make the ADR on time, even when the guest is there early, as suggested. So many are standing around to see the opening show that's a lot of folks to weave through.I asked a similar question about our 9:10 BBB reservation.
