Tusker House Breakfast Timing?

[karly05]

Two questions:

I can get an 8:45 am ADR for Tusker House on my AK day (Wed 4/13). I'm solo, just me. I'm happy to see the characters, but I'm primarily there for the food, so if not everyone makes it to my table, not the end of the world.

If my ADR is 8:45, what are the odds I could make the 10 am FOTLK show?

What are the odds of being seated at all early at TH if I get there early?

My perfect day at AK involves doing all the shows, the safari and the walking trails, and I'll have FP for the Safari, so I really don't mind "wasting" rope drop time at AK.

I think you'll be fine for the 10 lion king show. I believe as long as your reservation is before 9 they will let you into the park as early as 745 (I think) so you could always go a bit early just to be on the safe side.

I have been seated early in the past. But, I'm sure that varies with how booked they are at any particular time. I had 8:30 reservation the last time and went to the 10:00 FOTLK show. You should be fine. Enjoy!

We have eaten at TH many times, it only takes 30-40 minutes. If you turn up 15mins early as recommended, we are always seated on time and mostly within 5 mins of showing up.

We always get all the characters within an hour sometimes within 40 minutes.

You should have no problems, but ask server for the bill early, as sometimes this can take a long time if everyone is leaving at same time. FOTLK is right outside so very close.

Get the juice it is amazing best breakfast drink ever

I can get an 8:45 am ADR for Tusker House . . . If my ADR is 8:45, what are the odds I could make the 10 am FOTLK show?

1) No problem.
2) Enter AK at 7:45am.
3) With any ADR prior to 9:20am, you can enter the park at 7:45 and get a seat for breakfast almost immediately.

Thanks, all! Sounds like I'm on track.

ETA: Well, I blew it. All I can get now is 9:10 and I don't want to risk "blowing half the day" (hyperbole) on breakfast.

I'll keep checking, but logically I should just give it up because with a smaller breakfast at the resort, I could hit Harambe Market (which I really want to try) for an early lunch before it gets swamped.

ETA AGAIN: Well, gotta love MDE - I was on there poking around the ADR options and what do you know, tried Tusker on Wednesday again and the 8:45 was available again. So now I'm all set!

1) No problem.
2) Just go in at 7:45am and eat early.
3) You can be done in time for the show, and maybe catch Safari between breakfast and the show.

I did Tusker House breakfast last year as a solo. It really is one of my favorite breakfast spots and I am planning on going this year beachfan

So glad to read this! I have a TH reservation for breakfast and am going solo, too. Worried about going to a character buffet solo, but whatevs. I am really looking forward to it, and good to know you can go in a bit early and get seated early, likely, too!

 

[TheRustyScupper]

good to know you can go in a bit early and get seated early

1) Yep.
2) Getting in at 7:45 with up to a 9:20am ADR is a nice benefit.
3) Through a reciprocal arrangement with Disney-Tokyo, if you are Japanese, the time allowance is stretched to 10:00am instead of 9:20am.
