WWYD: Two Breakfast Options

[DisneyPiPhi]

We have an 8:05 AM ADR at Garden Grill on our Epcot day. The park was supposed to open at 9:00 but they just added an 8:00 AM EMH. So... what would you do?

Option A: Keep the 8:05 AM reservation, enjoy Garden Grill, and begin touring after breakfast.

Option B: Cancel Garden Grill. Arrive at 8:00ish, tour for a while, and then use the 10:30 AM Akershus ADR that I also recently snagged.

If it matters, we are on DDP and the dining party is myself, DH, and DD3. This is our final day of park touring. We will have had two other character meals: dinner at 1900 Park Fare and breakfast at Tusker House. We enjoyed Akershus breakfast last year and have never been to Garden Grill, but have heard great things.

Thoughts?

I would cancel Garden Grill and tour park early (be there for the EMH rope drop). It's such a valuable time to get on lots of rides. 10:30am @ Akershus (especially on DDP as it's expensive) is one of our favourite ADR's. Great food (served family style) and at 10:30, it will give you a break after 2.5 hours of rides, as well as fuel you until dinner. If you really want Garden Grill, can you get it for 10:30? I see how you want to try something new, but those first couple of hours are just so important. Good luck.

You can either try to get a later time frame or decide how much that hour means to you. If this was the MK I would cancel. Epcot? We are the meanders in Epcot do this would be fine with us.

If you have a hopper keep your ressie and come back later if you need more Epcot time.

I would cancel the early Garden Grill and use the time to tour. I love touring during morning EMHs. I would spend the entire breakfast kicking myself for not taking advantage of them.

Cancel GG and go to Akershus with the later ADR.

*Side note- I'm also a Pi Phi

GG is great, I would pick that meal. There is very little open in Epcot during EMH. What would you try to do? If necessary, I would rebook GG later. Akershus is fine, too, but I really loved the GG breakfast!

Option B. I value rope drop time, especially AM EMH, too much. We only eat breakfast in the room or on the go on park days to save time.

Id cancel the early morning Garden Grill as well. Perhaps Option C could be to see if you could snag a later time for the Garden Grill?

Option B

Option B - morning EMH are the best!

That would be my vote regardless of EMH though because I HATE Garden Grill!

 

[T00dles]

I vote b as well. We just did the 8 am Gg, but park open was at 9. We went to LWTL before 9 and did our fps after that. But I would have cancelled GG if park open was at 8.
I think your brunch at Akershus would be the best bet. Then you'll be right in WS when they open! Sounds like fun

I vote B as well. Cancel GG for sure and go with the later breakfast.

You could also keep checking for a later ADR at GG. im sure something will come up eventually if your persistent enough.
