BBB and Akershus ressies - advice, pls!

[whodat1229]

I have a reservation at BBB for my daughter, 4, at 2:00 pm. I have ADRs at Akershus for that evening. I'm holding one for 5:00 and one for 6:30. I don't want to be rushed. How long will we be at BBB for hair, nails, makeup and pics? I want to allow about 45 min from completion of BBB to arrival at Akershus. I'm thinking I should cancel the 5:00 ADR and keep the 6:30 one. That will allow plenty of time for pics after, and if we get to Epcot early, maybe catch a ride or two. What do you think??

My only hesitation in keeping the later ADR is that my daughter won't be taking a nap on that day. It's late in the vacay, so I know she'll be tired. If I keep the 5 pm ADR, we'll be finished earlier so I can get little missie to bed.

I think you will have time, but it might be close if BBB is running behind. We have never had to wait more than 10 min past reservation time and we have been during Thanksgiving week, but I have read stories on here of it being much longer.

If it were me, I would have a relaxing morning with little stimulation (maybe a good morning to swim) or go at a leisurely pace at a park and then do the 6:30 Akershus. My DD would be so hyped up about BBB and seeing the princesses that she wouldn't have the meltdown till after it was all over.

If you choose to keep the 5:00 then I would just mention to them when checking in at BBB that you have a 5:00 reservation at Akershus and ask how long the wait will be. That will prompt them to know that you can't wait 2 hours.

I would think you would have plenty of time, even with the 5 PM reservation. You can take the monorail over to Epcot, so no waiting for buses and from what I remember BBB never took more than 30-45 minutes or so? I think either way you'll be just fine. We never had a bad wait either. It's not like the restaurants can be...

Enjoy!!

Is it the BBB at MK? If so, I think you'll be fine. We just did the BBB, I'd leave an hour for that and then travel time to Epcot, 5pm should be ok. We had to do the DTD location, due to no reservations at MK, and if you are going there, I'd take the later dinner res.
