We have an ADR at MK before it opens (8:45). We will have a rental car, and are staying at POP. Does anyone have a recommendation on what the easiest way of transportation would be? Bus? Car to monorail (and what time does the monorail even start)? Thought all my planning was done, but now trying to think this through. Thanks!
 
Most people who have cars with them say that they prefer to take the bus to MK because the bus drops you off right at the gate, whereas with a car you park at the TTC, then maybe have to take a tram to then get to either the ferry boat or the monorail to get the rest of the way to the park (I say maybe with regards to the tram because it depends on where you're able to park). Buses to all the parks start at 6:30 every day so there wouldn't be any problem with getting to MK in time for your ADR.

Busses start running at 6:30 for just the above situation. I would be at the bus stop by 6:45. If there's no bus by 7:15, I'd hop in the rental.

The advantage of the bus is it will take you within walking distance of the MK gates. If you have to use the rental, you'd still need to take the monorail or Ferry. The resort monorail (at least) should be running by that point.
 
8:45 for an ADR is not even early!!! You can take the bus at 7:30 and get to MK in plenty of time for the ADR. You could probably even wait until 8 to get on a bus. It's the buses running between 6:30 and 7:30 that tend to be further spaced out...by 8am the buses are running every 15 mins up to park opening time.

You could drive to MK but as noted, you will have to park, then possibly take the tram (at 8:30ish the parking lot is going to start filling), then either the ferry or monorail over to MK...so you'll add about 20+ mins to the time you arrive at TTC right there.
The bus will drop you inside the MK area, a short walk to the main gates.
