Akershus reservations at 8:00 AM, out by 9:00??

[Aflyingbuttress]

We have Akershus reservations at 8:00 AM. Park opens at 9:00 AM. Do you think we could finish up by 9 and get on FEA? I'm trying to save a fastpass but I'm not sure exactly how long breakfast takes that early.

We've done Akershus before but we lingered for all the princesses. This time we're just going for the food.

Arrive at Epcot by 7:45 and head to Akershus. As soon as you are seated, pay for your meal. Eat and plan to head to the FEA line by 8:45.

If not concerned with characters, and no real back up getting in at 8:00, I think you will be fine to have a short line for FEA. You can ask for your check right at the beginning do you don't have to wait to find your waiter at the end.

We had an 8:10 ADR there before. We were 3 adults there for the food and FEA ride. We finished and paid by 8:45 but did not see the princesses. They were in the other room and hadn't gotten to our room yet. We were fine with that and were on FEA twice before there were any lines. I noticed that was only a small line as we exited our second ride which was at 9am, so I think we could have stayed for the princesses and still rode once with only a very short line.

If you're okay with the possibility of missing some (or all) of the characters, then go for it.

I have never had a character meal take less than 70 minutes.

We had 8:10 reservations but due to my hubby's speed walking we were the 2nd party to be seated. We ate, met all the princesses, DD did the little parade, and we still got out by 8:50. We basically walked onto FEA.

Even if you're not done by 9, it's not a big deal.

The frozen line is short until 11am when FP's start. I wouldn't rush

@CAS239 - FEA FPs are now being offered for return windows that open prior to 11:00a. I’m not sure if the 1st return window begins at 9a but there are some in the 10:00a range. A poster posted a screenshot in the FP FAQ yesterday.

What is a return window? Is that just the time you can schedule a fast pass?

Thanks everyone for the replies. This is really helpful

Correct. When you book a FP it’s the hour timeframe where you can choose to enter the FP line - one time-only.
