Explore Main Street U.S.A.
Even when the official opening time is 9:00am the Disney people will often let their guests through the turnstiles as early as 45 minutes to an hour before that. While much of the park will remain closed to the public until 9:00am, guests will have access to Main Street U.S.A.
Take advantage of this time using it for a leisurely stroll down Main Street. Here you will find a photo opportunity with Cinderella Castle in the background. You may want to stop in The Main Street Bake Shop for a quick snack. Or simply enjoy this 1900 turn-of-the-century reproduction of a Middle American small town as you make your way towards the central hub.

Position yourself at the central hub for the official opening, which is located in front of the castle. Once guests are allowed into the remainder of the park you can start the touring plan.
