Buses for 8:05 CP ADR on Non-EMH day @ MK?

[LeeAnn]

How do we get to MK for 8:05AM ADR @ CP when the park deoesn't open till 9:00AM?

We are staying @ POP and won't have a car. We are depending on WDW transportation. I thought that buses start 1 hour prior to park opening that would mean 8:00AM. That won't get us there in time.

Is there bus that bring guest for early ADRs?

How can get there? Thanks.

:mickey: I can tell you that we have never been late for a breakfast ADR in the MK no matter how early the reservation was. If my memory is correct, I believe they start at 7:00 a.m. and not an hour before park opening. I am sure there will be someone here who will be able to give you more info and if not, I would just call POP directly and ask.

Your best bet would be to take a cab to the MK. When you get to the gates, let them know you have an ADR at CP and a CM will walk you into the park to the CP. A cab will only be a few $$ and you will be on time for sure.

You definitely do not need to take a cab. I'm not sure buses start running at 7:00, but we've done CP @ 8:05 for each of the last 6 years and have always taken the buses. We get to the park with plenty of time. We've always gone from French Quarter, but I suspect it is no different at the other hotels. Just confirm when you check in that similar buses run at Pop Century.

We had a similar question when we were at WDW a few weeks ago. When we asked the concierge desk at AKL, they indicated that the buses started running one hour prior to the park's opening. They seemed very unsure about this, so we called the Information line from the phone in our room. They indicated that the buses generally start running 45 minutes prior to the first breakfast ADR at the park (in our specific case, the buses to DHS started running at 6:15). :mickey:

We had a similar situation with an 8:05 ressie on a non-EMH day. We had no problem getting there from CBR. I believe we caught our bus around 7 a.m. and made it with lots of time to spare.

They let all the people with dining reservations line up on the right side of the train station and then escort you to your restaurant (Cindy's, CP, etc.).

They lost our ressie, but otherwise it worked out perfectly!

You will NOT need to take a cab. The busses will be running probably even before 7:00, but certainly with enough time to make breakfast. Breakfast times at a lot of places are before park opening. Disney knows this. They account for it with early busses.

You won't have any problem getting there on time by bus. In Dec. we stayed at Poly and had 8:05 ADRs at Hollywood and Vine non-EMH. I was a little nervous about getting there on time, so we were probably on the bus by 7:15 and ended up being the first in line at DHS. My husband convinced the family to let me be the first through the gate, and it was just the coolest experience! No fanfare or anything, but it was definitely a highlight of the week for me.
