Which would you do? Tusker house pre open or open

[Nals]

Hello!

I have a breakfast reservation at Tusker house for 9:05 AM on our Animal Kingdom day but there are reservation times for 8:05, 8:15, 8:30 and 8:45. Do you prefer getting into Animal Kingdom before it opens or should I just hold on to the reservation I have?

Or we could take a 10:30 and do a brunch???? Too many choices!!!

This will be the first time I've been to Disney World since I was 6 and never have been to Animal Kingdom so I am so unsure!!! The time of day won't bother me my daughter is quite the morning person

Thanks!

If it was me, I'd take the 8 - 8:15 and be that much farther into the park, and practically done with breakfast, when the general public is allowed in at 9.

They'll let you into the park at about 7:30 with an 8am ADR.

It's a great way to get some "quiet" photos of an absolutely gorgeous park as you wander towards breakfast.

We did 10:50 and it was perfect for us. We were able to ride EE, safari twice, stroll around and take some great photos. We were also able to experience both breakfast and lunch so that was a plus. Since AK didn't take us the whole day, there wasn't a need eat so early. Since we ate later, we were so full that we only needed a snack later in the evening.

We did EMH (did rides before breakfast) and breakfast at about 10:30 or 10:45. We paid breakfast prices and got our choice of breakfast or lunch items. ( there were plenty of both at that time). We just had a little snack in the room before heading out. After lunch we headed to the lion king show.

We chose to do 1030 brunch this go around at Tusker House so we could hit the popular rides at park opening and then make our way over to the meal. Then will make later in the day FP+'s for the popular ones again. I love this park but our last visit it was pouring rain (tropical storm) so we missed a lot of picture opts and walking around so are spending the whole day. If you aren't planning on staying the whole day I'd say the early AM reservation and then doing the popular rides right after when the park is still waking up so to speak.

We have a 10:30 ADR at Tusker house... the characters will still be there, right?
