Need to activate AP/renew TIW on first day before early ADR...

[sydneymorganmom]

We are arriving late Friday night and are going to EPCOT Saturday morning for an early ADR. Park opens at 9:00 but our reservation at Akerhaus is at 8:30. Their breakfast that day begins at 8:00 so from what I have read, a ticket window and Guest Services window should be open 30 min. before the early ADR times. Is it feasible to get to EPCOT at 8:00 to activate our APs as well as renew our TIW and get to our ADR in time?

1. Correct.
2. Yes, it is.

Guest Relations windows (and ticket booths) outside Epcot gates will be open by 7:30-ish.

Great. Thanks!

If GR is opening around 7:30, I would arrive then. It always seems to take longer than I expect to activate APs and buy the TiW card. Sometimes there is a line waiting for GR that increases the wait. Also, it will take time to get to Akershus once you are done getting your APs.

I think you are right. My MIL said the last time GR took forever. Better safe than sorry.
