Trying to plan character breakfast..need help!

[Jager_mom]

I am trying to figure out the best way of doing this, I would like to have the Lilo and stitch breakfast on the same day as I use EE, is this a good idea?

Isn't one of the EE day's on Tuesday? If so I was thinking to show up and use that early hour to get some rides or whatever done and then when the park opens to go and have the character breakfast.

And if we go on the Tuesday what time does early entry start or when is regular open hour?

thanks so much for your help

I would not have a character breakfast on an EE day just so it gives you the choice of doing EE or not. Tuesday is an EE day. The hours of EE are dependent upon the regular opening time which varies. EE is one hour before regular opening. Also, the Character breakfasts in the park begin 20 minutes (that's what I was told last year, this could have changed by now because everything I've tried to do the same as last year I've come up against obstacles) after regular park opening so if you want to go to Plaza Inn and make a res and the park opens at 8:00 regular time, you can go EE at 7:00 and have an 8:20 PS. That's way too much stress for me so I would much rather do one or the other.

Just a note on the Princess Breakfast at the Plaza Inn. Avoid it if possible. It requires reservations and that does not guarantee what time you will be seated. All the required reservation does is give you a spot in line to wait to be seated. We had reservations at 10:30 and finally got out of line and left at 11:30 when we still had about 5 families ahead of us waiting to be seated.

It gets busier as it gets later. The first PS of the day should be just fine. Ariel's has the princesses now and Minnie has taken over cooking at the Plaza. I heard that the princesses are speeding through their visits and the tables are all being cleared before letting in the next round of guests. I'm going to Storytellers.

The Princess gals have now moved over to DCA at Ariel's Grotto for lunch and dinner so maybe that will be better for them... I think it's Minnie and Friend at Plaza now!!

Oh, and it takes about 30-45 minutes to get from Fantasyland to PPH for the Lilo and Stitch breakfast. There is no way would I do that to myself or anyone I love. Either do EE and stay at the park or go to L&S then the park. Don't try and do both.

I guess it depends on what time early entry is that morning. If the park opens at 10 and ee is at 9, you could easuly do both if you can get a ps for lilo and stitch for 7am. Figure an hour and a half for breakfast and about 30 minutes to get to the gates. (Lilo and Stitch is at the Paradise Pier Hotel) If the park opens at 9 or ealier and ee is at 8 or earlier, I would just make a ps for lilo and stitch for their latest time available for breakfast. Grab a bagel or cereal before ee, do early entry and then head over to lilo and stitch for brunch.

So maybe doing the character breakfast w/ Lilo & Stitch on the first day we go to Dl which is Sunday would be better??? I think this might be a great way to start our first visit to Dl off.

And then just doing EE on Tuesday without the hassel of worrying about breakfast?????

We unfortunatly will be driving up from Oceanside each day we visit Dl so I am trying to figure out times now.

I am so excited and I still have 7 months to go....what will I do with all of this time

You might want to consider having your Character Breakfast a little later in the day and make it a brunch. We booked Goofy's Kitchen on an Early Entry Day, but went around 11:30. We had a light breakfast before hitting the Park early. After a few hours of rides, we needed a break and eating later on gave us a chance to leave the Park for a couple of hours when crowds were at their worst. Grab as many Fastpasses as you can in the morning and then when you come back in the afternoon, use the Fastpasses to beat the crowds.
