Transportation issue

[comcastlover33]

Hi, soon I will be eating breakfast at 1900 Park Fare and have a 9:15am reservation. I will be staying on Disney property at Saratoga Springs, and not renting a car. How could I get to The Grand Floridian, using Disney Transport, in time?

Take the bus to MK and then take the resort monorail to the GF. I would be at the bus stop by 8:00.

Dont you mean take the monorail to the grand Floridian, not the poly

Yes, I do

You could also spring for a MEARS cab. Which will cut out the transportation center, waiting for a bus, and possibly not being there in time.

Chuckers has some excellent advice with taking a cab. The time you would save, getting more rest, not to mention the potential stress of being late. I never took a cab before my last trip and I wish i had been doing so for years, going resort to resort at least. There were a few times last trip when we would save at least an hour for ten dollars cab fare. To me it was worth every penny and I'm not one to throw money around casually.

FYI: cab fare would probably be closer to $25. You can look it up at taxifarefinder.com

Totally agree.

I'm sorry if made it seem like I was quoting a specific price from Saratoga Springs. Those were just our experiences from The Magic Kingdom Resorts to P.O.R. Again, sorry for confusion.

Taxi is most efficient

Bus to mk, then boat or monorail to GF (I like the boat better ) is cheaper

I much prefer the boat, but I'm not sure what time it starts running.

1) Take a taxi.
2) With any other method, you will waste AT LEAST an hour.

You have received good advice about the obvious options.
There is a Tranportation subforum here on the DIS where you will get excellent advice about all things transportation, rather than here on the Restaurant forum.

Bus would not go to the TTC (Transportation and Ticket Center). It would go from SSR to the MK entrance. Once there, the OP could take the monorail or boat to GF.

We had an 815 at 1900 Park Fare when we went a couple of months ago. We took the bus from our resort to MK, but the driver then offered to drive us from there to Grand Floridian. We wound up being early enough to take a beautiful morning walk around the resort before the restaurant even opened.
