Breakfast before rope drop

[phoenixflight]

Turns out my family's breakfast ressie on our Epcot day is a half hour before rope drop. We're planning to stay at CSR. What's the procedure for getting in before the park opens? How much time would you set aside to get there? (We will be using Disney transportation, and I'll be using an ECV.)

Thanks so much for your help!

9 days to go...!

I would leave at least an hour or more to get to Epcot from the time you leave your room. With the ECV, you probably have to make sure they have room for it on the bus (meaning there aren't others in front of you who also have an ECV). They have a special area outside with a list of those who have early ADR's so you just have to check in there and they will let you into the park. No worries there.

I agree, try to leave your room/ be at the bus stop about an hour before.

I just realized that the restaurant in question (Kouzinna) is part of the Boardwalk. Does that make any difference as far as admittance, or is it part of Epcot? Sorry if that seems like a dumb question.

Boardwalk is a resort, not part of Epcot. YOu won't need a ticket to get in.

BUt you cannot go by a single Disney bus, you need to make a bus connection at a park (boat if at Hollywood Studios). If no parks are open you would need to take a taxi.

(Actually you can take a bus to Hollywood Studios and do the second leg by yourself. But it will be cumbersome, you in the ECV and your family on foot. You could also take the bus to Epcot, the conencting leg going through Epcot, ticket needed, and out the back entrance but again not a short distance.)

Thanks, seashoreCM. I am expecting this to be a yummy breakfast--sure hope it is, as it seems it will be a bit of a pain to get there. Oh well.
