Best mode of transportation to early morning ADR in Norway?

[happy76]

Hello all! 6 days until I'm "home"!

We have the Princess Storybook Breakfast at Akershus booked for next Tuesday at 8:25am.
Here's my question: what's the best way to get there from All-Star Music?

We will not have a car, so the bus is our only option. Is it better to take the bus right to EPCOT & walk through Future World -or- head to DHS, hop on the boat & head over to the International Gateway?

I've never been to a park before it opens for an ADR. Will we run into any problems trying to get into EPCOT before rope drop? I can't imagine we would seeing as how breakfast is served from 8-11am. How early does that boat run between DHS & Swan/Dolphin, Boardwalk, etc. & EPCOT?

Thanks so much for your help!

Just take the bus to Epcot. They'll be an entrance open for guests with ADRs.

You'll walk through a empty Future World to get to Norway. This is what we did for our 8:20am breakfast there.

Great time to get photos like these:

The fastest way will be to catch a cab from your hotel to the Beach Club and walk to the restaurant through the International gateway. For $15 or so, you can save a bit of time early in the morning.

Just take the bus...buses start at 7 am so you have plenty of time. The DHS idea will take longer because of wait times. You will be able to enter the park usually at 8 am and walk through the empty park to get to Norway.

Although EPCOT buses are plenty during the morning, you'll have to walk a good deal if you take the bus directly to EPCOT. I'd take a cab to Beach Club and go through International Gateway to Norway.

Take the bus to Epcot. DHS would take longer.

To Norway I think it's easier to walk in through the main entrance. Seems a little shorter. From international gateway you are all the way across the park.

Buses should be running fairly early for Epcot, but a taxi is quickest but will cost you $$. To Norway it might be a little shorter through the International Gateway but you have to figure in walking from the Beach Club so it would probably be a draw either way on length.

Thanks everyone! I should have remembered that Norway is right next to Mexico. For some reason I was thinking it was on the other side of World Showcase. I think we'll end up going through the main gates & hoofing it. We'll throw DD5 & DD20mo. into the double stroller - they'll enjoy the ride. Thanks again!
