Akershus/Norway questions

[maxiesmom]

I finally was able to get a pre-park opening ADR for Akershus!

But now I have a few questions: What time should I arrive at Epcot for an 8:05 ADR? Will we be seated right away, or is there typically a wait? I'm guessing around 45 minutes for the meal? After that, will there already be hoards of people in line for Norway? Can anyone give me a good guess at how long the wait for the ride will be at that point?

I did post on this over on the restaurant board, but have not gotten any replies so far. I'm hoping someone here can help me out! Thanks!!!

We've had an 8:20am ADR at Akershus and we were the 2nd table to be seated right at opening. We got to Epcot at 7:30am and we were one of the first to check-in. Not sure about the crowds for FEA at opening, since I haven't experienced it myself yet, but we have an ADR at Akershus at 8:10am on 9/7, with hopes of just getting in the stand by line afterwards. If it is too crowded and the line is crazy, we'll just go back for our FP's at noon.

We had an 8am Akershus rezzie last week. We arrived at Epcot around 7:30 and had maybe 10 families ahead of us to tap in to the park. We walked to Norway without stopping for pictures and got seated fairly quickly, but were not on the side that the princesses started rotating (far from buffet). By the time we ate and waited for all the princesses, the rope drop crowd had already started to filter in.
