The buses will be running and you might luck out and they'll take you right to the resort instead of the MK. When we stayed at AKL and did Chef Mickey's before the park opened, the buses were going to the MK and the monorail resorts until the park was open. My friend lucked out and was the only person on his All-Star bus, so the driver just took him directly to the CR, too. I wouldn't *count* on it happening, but it is nice when it does. =)
