FOP FP+ & TH ADR...Cutting it close, thoughts?

[Runner225]

So we were lucky and just snagged a FP+ for FOP for 9:30am on our AK day...The thing is we are doing RS on FOP since we have a 2-year-old daughter who cannot ride and then an ADR at TH for 10:40....We wanted to do around 10:30 to get a taste of both breakfast and lunch there, but now I am worried we are cutting it way too close.

Thoughts anyone?

You're able to get a taste of both breakfast and lunch at restaurants?

I heard from multiple people on the DIS and people we know that if you get to TH around the 10:30-10:45 range, they are still serving breakfast, but they start putting out lunch as well since it turns lunch time at 11am...so you get a taste of both.

Ah gotcha. And sorry I don't know the answer to your question. I haven't been to AK yet since FOP opened

Same! I figure if anything whoever goes first on FOP will just run to the restaurant to save time and then the 2nd person can jet over after and we all check-in.

We did this on our trip in April with the exception of the Rider swap. We entered the FP cue at 9:30 as we were hoping River journey would reopen and e should standby it first (it was closed due to a storm the night before). Got to the pre-show and my daughter couldn’t hold it anymore and we had to leave to go to the washroom. We did that, got back on the ride (with some nice help from the CM letting us back to the pre-show without waiting again) and rode the ride. Checked out the gift shop on our way through briefly and made our way over to our 10:35 ADR at TK. Got there with lots of time.

I think you’ll be fine. I’d suggest you get in the FP line as soon as they’ll let you scan in. I don’t think you need to send someone over before everyone is ready and I’m not sure you’ll be able to check in before everyone is there.

Thank you this is helpful! I think I'll still have person #1 go straight to the restaurant with our daughter in the stroller just to ensure we are there and ready to go once we are all there. This way, in the event FOP takes a little longer than expected, it's just one person trying to navigate to the restaurant at the last minute as opposed to all of us with the stroller.
