Of course they are "running late"

holding to get into Epcot for 8am ADR...security says the restaurants aren't ready yet they are running late today even the best laid plans....

How frustrating. Hopefully they get it together quickly so you can salvage some of your a.m. plans despite the delayed PPO ADR.

They let us in right at 8 and said not to worry LOL but without FEA FP I was certainly worried! We are already in line though because we paid right away (tip I learned here of course )

So glad it worked out, have a lovely day at EPCOT.

But the ride isn't open yet. It's 9:10 so I hope it's not broken! We are the second family in line.

It shows as temporarily closed on the app. Hope it is open now for you.

Both breakfast restaurants are not ready at opening? That seems really weird to me. Were the security checkpoints staffed? Sounds to me more like a security issue than a restaurant issue. Regardless, it's not fun when a well laid plan gets messed up on you, especially right out of the gate in the morning. I hope you were able to get back on track.

Interesting. On my last trip solo (Sept. 2016) I had a tour booked at 8am at the MK and they weren't letting anyone in until 8am right on the dot - early breakfast ressies and tour folks all had to enter at once.
I thought that was strange because I thought the early breakfast ressies started earlier than that.

The tour left later than 8:30am because of it. They needed to get us all checked in. It was Marceline to the Magic and was a great tour.

Last time we had a 8:00 PPO breakfast at Epcot, we paid quickly and left, to find the Frozen ride broken for 45 minutes! Good times!

Stuff happens. Try not to get freaked out about things that are out of your control.
