Busses for 8am ADRs

[nat8199]

Hello! When we were in disney in October we did pre-opening ADRs every day and never had a problem taking busses/monorails to get to the parks on time. We just made sure to be at transportation pick ups for 7:15/7:20.

My kids wake up at 6am so this isn't hard for us at all.

Next trip I am hoping to stay at the YC, but I just read on their resort thread that a recent guest was told early busses are no longer running. Busses now start 1 hour before park opening, which would be 8am on non EMH days.

Is this true? How would we get to 8:05 reservations at crystal palace or tusker house? I don't think taking a taxi is an option since we weren't planning on bringing 3 car seats with us.

Thanks!

Not true.

Not true. Buses start running by 6:30am. If Disney wants its' guests to be able to get to early morning ADRs, they have to provide transport for them.

Thank you! I didn't think it made sense for the busses to not be running early enough for ADRs.

It seems like Disney gives out pretty spotty information about its own transportation system. Almost everything I've learned has been through trial and error, and from the DIS. I don't know why this is the case!

The official line has always been the busses start 1 hour before rope drop. In actuality, the busses start at 6-6:30am for breakfast guests.

As it has been noted many times over the years:

NEVER listen to any transportation advice unless you get it from a WDW bus driver. For whatever reason the Cast Members are poorly trained and know little to nothing about transportation, especially when it comes to buses.
