Garden Grill breakfast, coming from POR

[bcwife76]

First timers to WDW this coming January! We only have one full day(arriving on a Thursday night, leaving on a Saturday morning for a Disney cruise) so we've chosen Epcot for the Friday as our park of choice. Staying at POR.

If I try to make a breakfast ressie at GG for 8:30 (my adr window opens in approx 16 days) what time should we leave our hotel if we are using Disney transportation? Does GG have a good mix of characters at breakfast? Thanks!

GG will have Chip, Dale, Mickey & Pluto...a fun group. if you really want to have breakfast there, you might even think about a late breakfast. They have been opening EPCOT early...those 1st few hours are precious touring time if trying to squeeze in Soarin, the new Norway stuff, etc...with the tiered FP system at EPCOT, we've really had to up our strategizing.on the other hand you can't go wrong with Chip/Dale/Nutella waffles/Bacon! Enjoy your trip!

That's a good point, we could try and get the latest ressie for breakfast(making it brunch essentially), grab something quick from our own hotel to tide us over and be at Epcot for rope drop! I'm not worried about Soarin' as we are going to Disneyland at the end of August so we'll catch it at California Adventure. But the new Frozen ride and Test Track are something we really want to experience at Epcot. Thanks for your reply!
