I am in Magic Kingdom the day of my reservation for HDDR at 6:15. My plan was to take the boat. How much time to allow for that trip? Could I get Uber to pick me up at at front of MK and drive me to HDDR to save time?
The boat to Ft Wilderness takes about 12 minutes. Your biggest time expenditure is getting out of MK park and down to the boat dock. There might be a wait for the boat to arrive. I think they run two boats. So maybe maximum 20 minute wait. I never waited that long. Pioneer Hall (HDDR) is near to the Ft Wilderness boat dock.
A taxi (any brand) can't pick you up at MK front gate. You can take one from in front of Contemporary resort, or from TTC. But you would have to get to either location first. Once at Ft Wilderness, no cars can drive to Pioneer Hall. The taxi would drop you off at the Ft Wilderness Outpost Bus Depot at the front of the resort, where you would have to board an internal Ft Wilderness bus to HDDR. That could take another 20-30 minutes (wait time plus stops plus travel time).
The boat to FtW is your best bet, hands-down. In case of reported lightning in the area, the boats won't run.
