Can someone answer these two questions for me? I am wondering what time the boats begin running from WL to MK in the morning, and approximately how many boats run to WL from the MK after MK closes?

Thanks! princess:
 
I don't remember what time they start, just that it is early enough to be there for rope drop.

On the return, they are strict about the only 30 minutes after closing. You won't be stranded (you can get a bus from TTC) but it is much longer. I just made it and watched them turn away plenty of people.

BTW, if you take a midafternoon rest you and time it right, you can a "free wishes cruise" on your way back to the park. I did this on evening EMH night
 
We just got back from a stay at WL. We had an 8:15 ARD at CRT and made it in plenty of time. We had to take the smaller boat to the Contemporary then we walked to the Mk and still had to wait to be let in at 8 am. I have heard the first boat goes out at 6:45. We had just missed a boat when we walked up to the dock so I know our 7:30 boat wasn't the first of the day.
 
You may also want to consider taking the bus back to WL after MK closes. I stayed one night to watch Wishes, and the boat dock was full of people so I walked over to the bus stop. There were only about 8 people in line and the bus came within minutes!
