Bfast Bus for early AK Bfast?

[Disneyglobegirl]

I know that there are character bfast buses that run early for MK, we have used them and never had a problem getting to MK on time . Are there any that run early for AK or do we need to drive. We have a 8 am Bfast in AK and just wanted to be prepared to get there on time.

I maybe wrong but I think they start running about 2 hours before scheduled opening....It might be 1 hour but I think its 2 especially during busy times....If 8 or 9 is the scheduled opening for AK you should have no problems getting there on time....

Thanks! That is what I thought but wanted to make sure as I have only taken the early bus to MK.

We did the character breakfast at Ak a couple of years ago and had no problem getting there.We stayed at all star sports and the bus got us there before time for the meal.We all stood in an area inside the park and cms came and took us to the restaurant in groups.

I made an 8am PS for Breakfastsorous at AK for April and the person taking my PS said the bus from my hotel would not get me there on time
AK opens at 9am that morning and my PS is for 8am, the cast memeber said the bus from POP would not get me there by 7:55am for my ps and I would have to find another way to get there by 8am. The AK bus doesn't start running until around 8am for a 9am park opening. (That is what the castmember said)
We are renting a car so this is no problem but I wouldn't count on the bus being able to get you there on time.

Good Luck

If you have a car and are staying on Disney Property I would drive anyway...We never take the Buses while at Disney....You never know if you will get a seat or not....plus waiting for a bus is just a pain to me....I like driving myself to each park....Anytime we leave in our car and we always...always arrive 30 minutes before scheduled opening for any park the buses are already running....I dont think you will have a problem you might cut it a little close but I would think Disney knows of these early PS's at the parks and plan for them

I have three tours scheduled for my trip in May and must be at each by 8:15am. The CM told me the same thing, so I posted the question over on the transportation board. One of the guys that posts on that board works for WDW transportation. His name is Tyler. He assured me that yes transportation will be running early to all the parks, except MGM and even posted the times. For my Backstage Safari tour he told me to take character bus for Donald's Breakfastosaurus. He has a whole thread over there now telling everyone that WDW will be running about an hour before the first character meal starts in any of the parks.

He also says not to trust anyone with a transportation question who is not wearing purple pants. He says the CMs that do PS and schedules tours seldom know anything about the transportaion schedules.

FYI- I also have a PS scheduled for 5:00pm at Rainforest Cafe at AK, so won't get out until after the park closes and was afraid of being left stranded. He assured me that a bus marked 'Special' makes rounds past the Rainforest Cafe until everyone is out of there. He did say it may stop at several resorts before mine, but promised I wouldn't be left stranded. When I made PS the CM had told the busses wouldn't be running when I got through eating.

Thanks Aubriee! I knew that the buses ran earlier than what the CM's with dining tell you becuase we have always taken a early bus to MK with no problems with plenty of time to spare - I just wanted to make sure AK offered the same - Thanks again!

We had a 8:00 PS at Donald's and Guest Services at POFQ told us to be at the bus stop by 7:15. We got to the bus stop about 7:10 and only waited a minute or two before the bus came.
