Getting to Princess breakfast on time?

[LaurieC]

We are staying off site and want to confirm how to make sure we get to the princess breakfast on time (8:50am Akerhus Epcot).

Is it possible to park in the Magic Kingdom parking lot (where we want to spend rest of day), and take a monorail to Epcot? How much time do we need? Where do we go to get monorail (show ticket)? Once we get to Epcot is there a special line-up?

Thanks

We did the Princess Norway breakfast, it was fantastic!! We stayed onsight, (the Polynesian) and walked to the transportation center, got on the monorail to Epcot, (before Epcot open to public) I saw a line and a CM with a clipboard, and people entering, looking dressed for a Princess Breakfast, so we headed that way, our name was on her list, she let us thru, and we ran (OK, we were running late, I felt horrible!) to Norway, its a long way! We got there app 10 - 20 min LATE - but we were seated, and looked around, and no princesses within our site, breakfast came, dd was able to eat before spotting a Princess!

So I believe you can park at the Transportation center, then take that monorail to Epcot, but do allow PLENTY of time, allow at least 10-15 min to walk to Norway, I got to the monorail in time, but didnt allow for the fact it took 15 min (maybe more) for the monorail to come that early!!

I'm sure someone will post if I'm assuming wrong!

Yes, you can park at MK asthis is the same parking lot as the TTC or monorail hub. You will have to give your name to get on the monorail (look for monorail to Epcot signs) but the CM's are very friendly and point you in the right direction.
I would suggest allowing an hour from pulling up at the MK gates, as you have to park, walk to the monorail platform, wait, do monorail trip, get off, be let in Epcot and then walk right through Future World.
When are you going? I ask because we're going on 1/3 and have an 8:50 PS for the same breakfast!
Have fun,
Claire

If you get into Epcot and it is before the rope drop (non EE day), go all the way to the right (where the "leave a legacy" is). That is where the person with the clip board is and they will let you in.

I am wondering the same thing about getting to the Cinderella breakfast on time. Our reservation is for 8:50 Dec 23(Thurs) our first morning there. We are staying at Windsor Palms and we were planning to leave the house at 7:30am is this enough time?

eeyore45 is spot on here. It is very important to remember that there is still a good poke even after you get to Epcot. So leave plenty of time for monorail wait time and hiking time once you get to the Epcot station.

We love the PSB at Akershus. Have a great time!

To the Spencers,

We are going on the 19th March. Maybe you can post how things went on the morning of your breakfast.
