Dang I wish they would announce what the tiers are.

Tier 1 for FEA. No FP on the M/G.

What are all the tier one FP's going to be Soarin, FEA, Test Track ?

 

[Mom2Stitch]

I'd say that no FP for the M/G just pushes FEA to the top of the most wanted FP list. But that does make it easier to plan, at least for us.

Disney Parks Blog, comments section, says A&E M&G will be standby -- YIKES!!!!!

So dumb.....that park needs more FP+ attractions!!!!!

So as far as capacity goes..cuz I really don't know..will this Meet and Greet be the largest in capacity compared to all other Meet and Greets?

With only three rooms for A&E, Talking Mickey still has the most capacity.

Thank you for the information

So if there is no FP for the M&G how does that work for the people would have the FPs for the ride? Does anyone know if the ride will filter into the M&G or is it going to be 1 of those things where you ride the ride then come out and get in line for the M&G...I am guessing the plan of action for us should be 8AM Akershus, stand by for the M&G, and then have a FP for the ride for around 9:30-10:30ish?

That's probably the best plan. Meet and greets are within the Entertainment division. Their m&g flow and capacity will not be dependent upon guests who ride an Attraction.

Ok so you will people coming from the other entry, people with breakfast reservations so meet and greet waits will be long before we can hike over there. I can't believe they are not doing fp for a/e. I'd rather a fp for the meet and greet than the ride. Rides lines move fast than meet and greet. Epcot needs fp options. Who makes these decisions?!?
We are doing two mornings at Epcot luckily at the end of summer so we can let the dust settle.

You will probably have an opportunity to pay for a special upgrade to skip the standby. That follows the latest standard operating procedure.

Or maybe a dining package with Akerhus for $100.00 per person and access to the meet and greet.

This story isn't over yet. I wonder when they will install magic band readers that will just simply charge your magic band $15.00 a person to get in a premium line. Toy Story is ripe for that too.

We are doing something similar. I just booked Akershus for 8 am at the end of July. We plan to eat and then get in line for the ride (no M&G for us; did that last year on our cruise and at MK). We have park hoppers and our FP+ will be used at AK later that day.

How early can we get into the park for an 8 am ADR? We've never eaten there, so how long should I expect it to take? And how much of an advantage will this give me getting to ride before the rope drop crowd?

I believe they let you into the park around 7:45, but get to Epcot around 7:30 so u can be in the front of the line of early diners. What we did when frozen fever hit Norway before was my hubby quickly ate his food (he was done within like a half hour) and then jumped in the line. He was like the 6th person in line. We finished up and then met with him...we were still done by around 8:55 though. We also asked for the check right when we sat down so that saved some time in the end as well. We were also lucky enough that the princesses were just approaching our table as we were sitting down so we didn't have to wait for them to make the rounds around the whole place. Not that I really cared lol...I had it in my head that if we didn't see all the princesses by 9 that we would catch whoever we didn't see in a regular M&G so it was all good lol. I definitely think having the 8am akershus puts u at a definite advantage. Of course u still have the dads that skip the meal and tell the wives to bring them a muffin or something and then they hit the line...that's y my hubby was 6th in line after he ate Bc 5 other people in front of us totally skipped out on the meal and got right in line

Do those husbands who skip breakfast completely still have to pay for breakfast?

 

[StirlingSilver83]

Nope as long as someone shows up to the ADR you are good to go...so you could have a family of 4, book the ADR for 4, but only have 3 show up and you are still good and don't have to pay a no show fee

Akershus could become a prepaid event then. That seems logical.

What's the cost now? $65.00 for adults incl tax and tip? Raise that to $89.99 incl tax and tip. Throw in a MG Premium line pass. Go anytime throughout the day. Pay in advance. Sounds relaxing. No frantic rush to the park.

Oh that seems like something they will do. Gotta squeeze every penny

I did look at cost before booking and decided it was ok for us. Most recent I could find for breakfast with rounding up is $45/adult and $29/kid.
