Akershus breakfast advice

[jcemom]

We normally plan a late breakfast at Akershus, around 11:00. We always wait a long time to check in and be seated, usually 20 minutes or more. The line is crazy at that place.

I usually don't like to schedule breakfast before park opening because we aren't very hungry that early in the morning. I am wondering if it would save us a lot of time though, to go for an 8:00-8:15ish breakfast rather than our usual 11:00. Then we could try more snacks around the World Showcase in lieu of lunch. With our regular plan we hit the WS after breakfast and we aren't hungry at all, so we don't get to try all the yummy treats that are available.

For anyone who has done a pre-opening breakfast at Epcot, do they let you in early enough to walk all the way back there by 8:00-8:15? Are you seated with a shorter wait by going so early? Is it possible to get out anywhere near rope drop? We are fast eaters and would like to see all the princesses once, just for an autograph and quick photo.

The only pre-opening ADR we have ever done is Crystal Palace and it went smoothly. I've never tried it at any of the other parks.

TIA

If you have an ADR before EPCOT or World Showcase opens they will let you in. It's been awhile since I entered from the entrance of EPCOT (usually I am entering thru the International Gateway) but yes you will enter and proceed to World Showcase and head toward Norway via Mexico. I personally like the early ADR at Akershus.

We had a pre rope drop ADR there last year. We were able to get in Epcot early, pose for pictures with three separate photographers and walk there in time. We waited about 10 mins for our table. I think it was because of pics with belle. You have to wait outside as that is where the podium is.
