If staying offiste, just be prepared to give your name at the turnstile when entering the park in the area they've designated for entry for those having breakfast - at DAK, it's usually the far right area of the turnstiles, at the MK it's far left, and at Epcot I think I recall it being off to the right, but I'm not 100% sure on that one.

It will be cool to take pics before the crowds get in. I am going to try to get an 8:00 for Cinderella breakfast for Easter morning 2007, what do you think my chances are? How long do you have for character breakfasts, do they rush you out? When you leave the breakfast, can you stay in the park or do you have to re-enter? I'm assuming none of the rides start until 9:00 and that the fast pass machines don't work until then either.

As for how early you can get in - you can only getin a short while before your ADR. But, the walk down main St to the castle will be able to be leisurely, and Main St will be virtually deserted. Once you finish breakfast, you can then line up at the rope that is at the back of the castle going into Fantasyland and then rush on in to FL, where you'll be able to get more done in the first 45 minutes than you'd be able to in the next 2 or 3 hours. Dumbo first is the most important thing to remember if you're right there at the rope for rope drop - that will allow you to get the first rideof the day on Dumbo, where lines grow to about an hour quickly since it's such a low-capacity attraction. The one time I ate at the castle for breakfast, they did not rush us out - we spent maybe an hour in there, then headed to the rope and lucked into a spot right up front for rope drop - first ride on Dumbo, then did Peter Pan and Pooh -- all of those in about 20 minutes or so. It was sweeeet!
