7am EMH at AK: when will first bus pickup?

[madchatter]

we are at POFQ. Just debating what time to be at the bus stop for first opportunity to AK for 7am EMH. And thoughts or experience?

Probably around 6.

Our rule-of-thumb is to leave our room 75 minutes before Rope Drop.

5/5:30

5/5:30

I think that may be a bit early.

But, if a guest was really concerned, planning on being at the resort stop
by 5:15-5:30 might be viable.

I'd not be too surprised to spend some time waiting.

We've left BC at 6:00 to get to MK (not the same park, I know) for 7:00 EMH. Well, we were outside waiting for the bus at 6:00. The bus came a little before 6:10. It's possible there was an earlier one. Not many of us were waiting at 6AM.

Well, we got down there at 5:50 to be safe. First bus arrived at 6:17. Put us at AK 6:38. They started letting people tap in around 6:50 and then there was another checkpoint up the hill where they scanned one person from each party to verify on-site resort guest. Then the rope dropped right at 7. Other people obviously got earlier buses or had driven themselves in large numbers. We were pretty far back. We went directly to FoP and we're out of the ride right at 8am. So not bad. And definitely the fastest way to ride it without a FPP.
