2 ADR questions

[Muskegon78]

1) Is it correct that there will be no lunch ADRs taken at BE Our Guest? Does this mean that it will commonly be to capacity or have very long lines?

2) I am planning to book our Akershus ADR for breakfast when the park opens at 9. I was going to try for an 8:00 ADR but do you think it is better/easier to ride a few rides and go closer to 10:00/10:30? Our two daughters will be 6 and 1

1. Yes. They will not take CS ADRs. Based on how quickly TS reservations went, you can expect long lines.
2. Akershus at 8 am is good, but it isn't particularly close to any of the rides you are going to be scrambling for. If you are wanting to get to to Soarin or TT (depending on when you are going), you might want to hit the big rides and then go to breakfast at 10:30.

1. Yes. I would plan on big crowds for a while. Arrive early for lunch and that should help. We try to eat around 11:15 in the parks.

2. My family likes that 10:30 brunch type reservation. We never do Pre opening meals. Others like the opposite. I will say though that that 10:30 type time is harder now that you can't use your FP late anymore. Kind of messed up our plans at Easter. We were almost late for a breakfast at Kouzzina due to trying to use our Soarin FP before we walked over to Boardwalk.

can't use the FP late? what do you mean? Can't you still get your fastpass just before a 10:30 ADR and then use it in the afternoon if that is the time on it?

We went to Akershus before opening last year in July and it was so much fun. It was nice to be able to walk to the breakfast with no crowds. We noticed things on the walk to the restaurant we would not have seen with the huge crowds Epcot had in July. With young children it is great because you can give them a little more freedom to explore as you walk. All the buildings are closed but Epcot's grounds were so beautiful. A plus is you do not have a long line to get in like there is when the park opens.

Yes, if that's the return window. In the past, you could use a FP any time from its return window until park closing. They ended that practice in March. In the past, we would have just used it whenever later in the day. Didn't mean to confuse you.

Oh ok, that makes sense
