Can you ride FEA before a late PPO Akershus ADR?

[Sir Patrick]

I've only seen this mentioned once or twice, but if I were to book an 8:45AM Akershus ADR, do you think it would be possible to get there at 8:45AM but ride FEA THEN go eat breakfast?

I am trying to avoid making a 8:00AM ADR and feeling rushed trying to beat the RD crowd.

Anyone have success riding FEA before eating like this?

You would likely be very late to your breakfast reservation. We were there over Christmas, with an 8:00 reservation. We were the first family in line for FEA. They did not open the ride until 9:00 on the dot. Then, they walk you slowly through the entire line before boarding your boat. We probably got off the ride around 9:08-9:10. So, you could potentially be 20-25 minutes late. I like your idea, though...I'm so tired of 8:00 breakfast reservations!

You can likely just get there early, enter the park at 8am with the other PPO guests and be seated a lot earlier than 8:45

If you try to ride Frozen before your 8:45 are, then you'll likely be 20-30 min late and could be charged the no show fee. Frozen won't be running until 9.

Also keep in mind there is a slight chance that the ride isn't ready to be open right at 9.

Or if you don't want to feel rushed then just change your adr to something like 10am. You can get on Frozen with a short wait if you head straight there

Thanks for the information.

I think I will go ahead with the PPO ADR and just let the breakfast unfold, book a FP for Soarin vs. FEA and if we have to wait 20-30 min for FEA then so be it. No need to stress myself out!
