I'd say shoot for a 7:15/7:30 departure from WBC.
It won't take you long to get to the MK parking lot from the resort (I prefer the shorter driving route that has you get on EPCOT CENTER Drive [a right at the light] than the longer route most people seem to choose that has you make a left at the light and go past MGM and the EPCOT Resort area [thru multiple lights] to get on World Drive). You'll want to take the Ferry across that early (Monorail isn't always running first thing, and the ferry moves more people faster and would allow your DD to stay seated in the stroller).
Generally I'd say at MOST it would take around 45min to get from the resort, park, and and across the 7 seas lagoon to the park gates. Also, Arriving that early you may be close enough to the front of the parking area that you can walk from your car to the park transportation instead of having to get on the parking lot tram.
Another question:
I've read on here that you can no longer make room requests ahead of time. But can you try to arrive early and request a tower/view upon check-in?

Hi all,
We discovered WBC last year when we stayed for 12 nights in May and absolutely loved it. (Thanks for the tip disboards!) We went last minute and combined 2 fantastic deals on ebay. (5N in 3BR presidential and 7N in 3BR deluxe)
We are planning a trip to Orlando from 11/6-13/2013. (I am running the Wine & Dine Half Marathon! )
Here's my dilemma:
I have a quote from VS for $625 2BR deluxe or $899 2 BR presidential for the week. Should I hold out until the last minute in hopes of getting a better deal through ebay? Or is this a pretty decent price from this time of year and would it be worth the peace of mind having our room booked?
Still debating whether to go deluxe or presidential too...loved them both...really liked Tower 6, but wonder if we would like to experience a different tower too.
Thanks,
Jennifer
Hey Jennifer, I have to ask you. We are staying 2 weeks. One of the weeks we have the option for a free upgrade from a 2br deluxe to a 2 bedroom presidential. Did you feel that it would be worth it for the free upgrade to move in mid stay. I know it will be a pain. Is the difference in the room worth the move in your opinion?
Does anyone know if infants (less than 2) have to pay for the shuttle.

According to their website under 3's are free
We are ready to book at Bonnet Creek. Can someone compare Ken Price vs. Vacation Strategy?
Thanks
We are headed to WBC this week and I have one question...
Do the coffee pots take basket style filters or cone style?
Hi, am planning another trip to Disney and will be in a 1 bedroom at WBC. I've stayed before, but was in a 2 bedroom unit. Does the 1 bedroom unit have a jacuzzi type tub.
Just wondering....
I am hoping to book 4 nights the second week in July at BC in a 2BR. VS has no availability for my dates, and I am holding out the 4 days to my 60 day window before I contact VU. Anyone have any luck getting a room booked within 60 days for that busy time of year? Hoping for a little reassurance that it will all work out while i wait 4 looonnngg days!
The filters are cone style
