Hi Michelle,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Thanks for the lovely compliment and for sending us your question too.
You will absolutely LOVE staying at
Disney's BoardWalk Inn. It is one of my favorite Epcot Area resort hotels!
You didn't happen to mention the time of your breakfast reservation at
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall. As a general rule, breakfast is typically served there between 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., and unless Epcot has morning
Extra Magic Hours, Future World typically opens at 9:00 a.m. Furthermore, World Showcase generally opens at 11:00 a.m. However, I can tell you from past experience that we once had a breakfast reservation for 8:05 a.m., and we were allowed to enter Epcot through International Gateway as early as 7:45 a.m. So you should be able to do the same. Be sure to provide your breakfast reservation number to the Cast Member at the touch point entry area designated for early reservations.
I hope this information was useful, Michelle. If you have any other questions, please come back to visit us here. My Disney Parks Moms Panel friends and I will be more than happy to spread some pixie dust on all your Disney vacation plans.
Wishing you an
unforgettable vacation at the Walt Disney World Resort!
Ritzy ºOº
