Breakfast at Akershus question

[JackieT1182]

Hello!

I currently have a pre-park opening reservation for 8:20 AM at Akershus. Should I keep trying to get 8 AM, or will I be let in at the same time as an 8 AM reservation anyways? My goal is to eat quickly and beat the rope drop crowd at Test Track.

Thanks!

You will be let in at the same time, so no need to move the ADR.

We had an 8am last Monday and there were 2 others ahead of us in line, but they took us first, so I am not sure if they went by ADR time, but it looked like it. Either way, they have everyone that has 8-8:30 ADR's come in one right after the other, and then take a picture with Belle. We were in the far room to the right and we saw all the princesses by 8:30. I think they try to put everyone close together with the same times so they can eat and leave. What I do like about this place is you do get a chance to go to the buffet bar and get your food before any princesses come out. We did not see one until 8:15. When we got out, there was a huge line being led into the Frozen ride. So they must have opened the park pretty early. If that's the case, you have quite a walk to Test Track before everyone else gets there. Honestly, you cannot finish eating and see all the princesses unless you are there 45 minutes.

You'll have no issues getting in at the same time as those with an 8 am reservation. Just be sure as you head to test track that the throngs of people running for Frozen Ever After don't run you over

Agree with all above! We got in at the same time!

We had an 8:20am adr at Akershus in 2014, and we were one of the first to arrive and we were seated right when they opened at 8am. I wouldn't worry about changing it.

Great, thanks everyone!

I thought that I had read that they did away with the picture with Belle. Or is it just that you don't get the print of the picture anymore?

You still can get a photo with Belle in the foyer, but they just don't give the free photo prints with the meal anymore. We just take pictures with our own camera.

Does the same above info hold true with the 8:35 reservations? We can't seem to get one before then. Thanks.

I have the same issue. At 180 days, I was only able to book 835 am.
