Be Our Guest Breakfast to meet Ana and Elsa

[Kat0620]

We're going to be in MK this Friday, 9/11, and at the last minute, we decided we want to meet Ana and Elsa. Waiting for 2 hours is not an option, so I decided to try for a BOG breakfast reservation. So far, I was only able to get 8:30, but I'll keep trying.

My question is - if we use the reservation to get into the park, can we just no-show at breakfast and just get in line to meet the princesses? I know that we would be charged $10 a head - will that include the infant in our party? We might be willing to just pay the fee to get inside a little early and forgo the breakfast, but I'm just wondering if that will even work.

My understanding is that if even 1 person from your party shows, you won't get charged. Is there anyone in your group that would take one for the team and go into BOG, order something quick then leave? Just a thought.

Other thought is do what we are doing (same scenario as you - have BOG pre-park opening mainly to meet A&E)... Order ahead something quick (Croissant donut) that doesn't require cooking (like eggs). It should be ready within a few minutes. Scarf it down (or baggie it) and head over to the A&E area.... or as close as you can get. Not sure what time you can actually start standing in line but that's kind of our plan. Unless we hit the jackpot and get an early morning A&E FastPass... hey a girl can dream!

Good luck!

It could work. What time do you plan to arrive for your M&G, I mean "ADR"? If too early you will probably need to really drag your feet down Main street taking pics and such. When we were there in May for our breakfast ADR at BOG they had cast members lined up near all the entrances to rides and other 'lands" to keep us heading in the right direction to restaurants/tours. Several even asked where we were going if we lagged. Why not just get there earlier than your ADR and actually eat? It seemed to me that they were letting anyone into the restaurant that had an ADR for that morning even if you were early. If you got there at 8:00 or shortly after you will be out in plenty of time to beat rope drop crowd. We were seated around 8:15 and out by 8:40. Service was really quick and we pre-ordered. Bring a baggie and not get charged the no show fee.

Get there early and keep your ADR. Not showing up is really unfair to those that want a ressie there but can't get one. It really is a great place to eat and it is quick. Keep in mind there is no guarantee that you will get an advantage in seeing A&E. It all depends on the CMs and how they let the lines move. It may give you an advantage, or it may put you behind rope drop. It's a gamble.

As others have suggested, I would just go early and order something. Even just order kids' meals (or share them!) which is basically the equivalent of the no-show fee.

So you think we could get there earlier than our 8:25 reservation and they would let us in? I'd rather eat than not eat, so that would work out great if we could.

Another question - would the stroller hold us back? She could leave the stroller with her husband who's meeting us after breakfast if necessary.

When I went in June, they actually started the BOG line for A&E just behind the stroller parking area beside the carousel. If that is still the same, you would be right where you would need to leave the stroller when you join the official queue area.

You can show up 15 minutes before your ADR time. That should give you plenty of time to eat and make it out.

Don't skip your breakfast, this is a nice one. Go early and preorder. The meal comes quickly so you will not really waste much time. You will have time to enjoy the meal and check out the Castle before you need to lind up

Thanks for the info everyone!

When you arrive for an 8:25 ADR, it's not like you're waiting for someone ahead of you to finish and vacate the table. They will seat you in the order you arrive at the podium that early in the day.

And this place is BIG! There are three rooms and they will open them up as needed.
