Best way to go from Pop to Riviera for 7:30 am breakfast?

[mommy2paisley]

We are staying at Pop, going to Riviera for breakfast, then MK for the day. We have our own car, but we try to use the Disney transportation while there and not in our car any more than we have to. Is there a way to take Disney transportation this early that would make sense versus having to drive to Riviera, pay for resort parking there, drive back to Pop, then get a MK bus?

I would take a lyft

I would do uber or lyft from Pop to Riviera, then Disney transportation to MK and back to pop.

They are so close to one another, just drive there, then back to Pop to park for the day. As PP said, there's no charge for short-term resort parking. And you're already paying at Pop anyway; they wouldn't charge you twice in one day.

There's no easy way to get there using Disney Transport, unless Skyliner opens at 7, but it's been opening at 8 lately.

If the Skyliner is open, take it. If not, a Minnie Van won’t be terribly expensive for that short a distance.

We haven’t been since the Skyliner was put in. Is there one that goes from Pop to Riviera? Or do they just go from Pop to HS and Epcot? I haven’t looked into how the skyliner goes.....I guess I need to figure all this out! Yikes!

Pop to Carbbean Beach.
Caribbean Beach to DHS.
Caribbean Beach, slows at Riviera, on to Epcot.
Three lines. Everybody not going to CBR must transfer.

The hub of all of the lines is Caribbean Beach. You’d go from Pop to Caribbean Beach, then board the Epcot line to Riviera.

I’d drive to Pop.
Drive back to Pop.
Hop on MK bus.

I find the MK buses come frequently to Pop, especially in the morning.

Skyliner from Pop goes to Caribbean Beach which is the hub for all three of the Skyliners. Then transfer over to the Int'l gateway Skyliner one stop to Rivera.

As I said above, Skyliner has been opening at 8am this week. If that continues, it will not get you to Riviera in time.

It also will not get you to DHS in time to be inside the park before an 8am opening, which is strongly recommended if you want to try to ride RotR in SWGE. There have been buses running instead. (RotR is on a virtual queue accessed on the MDE app; all party members must be in the park to get a boarding assignment, and primary boarding assignments have been filling up within 1 minute of park opening. Backup (space available) groups generally have been filling up anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes after opening.)

You can take Skyliner to Epcot IG for park opening. This week, it opened at 7:30 for Epcot's 8am morning EMH.

There are 3 separate Skyliner lines. The Pop/AoA line only goes to CBR. At CBR, you can board the DHS line, or the Epcot line which also serves Riviera.
