Tusker House breakfast logistics - The DIS Discussion Forums

Planning on breakfast at Tusker House. Have a few questions....

1. We are staying at AoA and we were not going to rent a car. Busses don't start running until one hour before park opening. Is there any way to get there for an 8am reservation? Or do I have to rent a car?

2. If we have a car, where do we park? Regular AK parking???

1. You should be able to get a bus. They start earlier. We had an 8am ressie and got a bus at 730

2. Your resort can likely get u a shuttle if need be ask the front desk.

3. You park in the normal lot

4. Finish by 845 and take in the empty Harambe village it's great.

5. You will be the first to ride the safari just ahead of the rope drop crowd

Jambo and have a wild time

Buses start running earlier than that. When we did an early TH breakfast, AK opened at 9am and our ADR was for 8:05am. We got on a bus at 7:15. Buses don't run as frequently that time of the morning, however. We did have to wait a little bit. We pulled up to AK at 8am so we made it just in time. Also, this was in September which is slow season.

Thanks! We are going in September too. Right now car rentals are running around $65 which seems very expensive to me.

Our bus did not come. We waited and waited for over 45 min. Every time we have a reservation at AK, the bus never comes. We had our car so at 7:50 went to our car to drove over there. Got in late but still had breakfast.

Another option is taxi.

The buses SUCK early in the morning. I waited from 7am til 740am for a bus to AK once. This has happened a few times with other parks too. Never again. Since then, i always take a taxi. So much easier.

I meant $65/day for the car!!

Ugh. Guess I'll wait and see if car prices go down. I'd much rather be in charge of my destiny....LOL

Why do that when you could take a taxi for under $20?

I never thought about a taxi. I guess I figured there weren't any on Disney property. But that's a much better idea!

We found the taxi very convenient. We called the night before for the time we needed and we were all set in the morning for an early morning adr. It was easier than we thought and we used it a few times over the years. Enjoy your breakfast!
