So confused. Please help.

Forgive me, I'm on my husband's username.

Myself, my husband and our three kids (3, 2, 5 months) are headed to the World in three weeks. I feel like I have more questions than answers about this trip. We are staying off property for the first time, and only planning on going to Epcot and MK.

A couple of my questions are:
1) We have booked an 8 am Akershus breakfast and planning on high tailing it to M&G with A&E (they'll still be in Epcot as far as I understand). Where do I find out when the A&E meets start? I've read 9am and 11am.
2) If it is 9 am how does that world if World Showcase doesn't open until 11?
3) Where do I find out where the kiosks are to get fast passes?
4) If we go from breakfast to A&E, then to the kiosk to get fast passes is it even worth standing in line with my three kids (3 and under) only to discover that all the good stuff is gone? Or are there some stuff usually left?

TIA.

1. This site posts information from the current times guides.

2. You can enter World Showcase on the left up to Norway and on the right up to France prior to 11 because Norway and France both serve breakfast.

3. I'm not sure, but I would imagine on the park maps.

4. The most popular fast passes are the ones for Soarin' and Test Track, and I'm guessing your kids will be too short for either of those, so I would think you shouldn't have to worry. If you haven't already, I would suggest checking out this thread, which gives a lot of good information about FP+. The attractions that your kids would probably be the most interested in are all ranked as C priorities (except for Turtle Talk with Crush), which means that they're not the most likely ones to be picked first. (Not that everyone who goes knows about mesaboy's rankings, of course, just that those aren't the most popular attractions. )

I haven't been since the kiosks but it's my understanding they are easy to find. Maybe someone will post a map with their location.

If you are going before April 20th, Anna and Elsa will still be in Epcot. As of right now, they start meeting at 9am but that could change.

Since you have Akershus at 8am you will go to the character breakfast checkin line at Epcot and then you'll be directed on how to go to Norway for breakfast. When we did it, it was straight back to Mexico and take a right to Norway but that may have changed.

Anna and Elsa meet in the Puffins Roost right across from the Akershus check in.

There should be fast passes left depending on the dates you are going - with your kids ages, they will probably be too short for Soarin and Test Track but they should enjoy other things like Turtle Talk with Crush in Epcot.

For MK, I bet there will be plenty of choices for FP+ at the Kiosk.

Have a great time!
