BBB at 8AM. How to get there?

[nydancemom]

We have an 8AM appt. at BBB for my granddaughter. We will be staying at the Nemo suites in AOA. Can we use Disney transportation that early? How early will we need to leave the resort to be at BBB on time? We will have one car there, so some of us can drive to MK because I use a scooter which I will have in the car. Do the trams run that early from the parking lot? Do the ferries or monorail run early enough? I am looking for advice for the best way to make sure she doesn't miss her appt. and then we have CRT at 9:30. Party of 11.
Thanks for any advice!

1- Can we use Disney transportation that early?

2- How early will we need to leave the resort to be at BBB on time? We will have one car there, so some of us can drive to MK because I use a scooter which I will have in the car.

3- Do the trams run that early from the parking lot?

4- Do the ferries or monorail run early enough?

5- I am looking for advice for the best way to make sure she doesn't miss her appt. and then we have CRT at 9:30. Party of 11.

1- Yes.

2- Be at the bus stop by 7:10AM.

3- Unlikely. And they will be unnecessary at that hour as you can park close to the TTC.

4- No, for the monorails at this time due to monorail maintenance.
But, there will be special busses from TTC to the MK gates.
I'm not sure how early they will start the ferry boats with the monorail hours cut back.

5- Take the WDW bus from the resort to MK.
Buses begin running about 6:30AM every day.

I would be at the bus stop by 7am. Allow a full hour.

If it was me, I would actually be out at the bus stop by 6:45. The buses start by 6:30, but they don't run as frequently as the regular buses.

7 AM, according to the Transportation Board's resident bus driver

Yeah, this is probably good advice.

I'd leave AoA at 6:45, regardless of whether you take the bus or drive. It might be fun to drive and take the ferry boat over to MK- something special for a special day! If you are at the ferry for 7am, you'll still have plenty of time to get to BBB. Is your entire party accompanying you, or will they meet up with you for park opening/CRT?

Thanks for all the replies!

I think the whole party is planning to be there for the BBB appointment since it's granddaughter's Mom, Dad and three siblings plus us grandparents and two aunts and an uncle. We probably will split up for the trip to MK since I would much rather take my car with the scooter than deal with the bus which I've never done. My son, DIL and the grandchildren won't have a car, so will take Disney transportation.

Enjoy getting there for extra early entry into Magic Kingdom. It's awesome to get pictures without anyone else in them in front of the castle. Thanks to the Dis, we always make an early ADR at Crystal Palace and these pics and skipping down Main St. is the best! My daughters did the BBB when they were younger, it was great! Have fun!
