Car or Bus for PPO Reservation at MK?

[Christi Rose]

I'm trying to decide if it would be better to drive our own vehicle or try to catch a bus for a BOG ressie at 8:10am. There are no EMM or EMH that day. Thoughts? What time does the bus leave vs what time should we leave if we drive ourselves?

We took the bus from our resort (Pop) for our PPO reservation. We got in the MK bus line around 7:15/7:20ish and were at the park before they let the wave of PPO folks into the park.

If you drive yourself, you'll need to remember to allow extra time to get from the TTC to the park whereas the bus will drop you off MUCH closer to the main gate.

It will likely be a wash time wise, so really it's preference. I think 7:15 is a good time to be at the bus stop and assuming you don't have an abnormally long wait, you should be at the front gate before the 8:00am crowd are let in.
If you drive, you'll have better control over your departure time (no unknown bus wait) and being that early, you will be right up front of the lot, so no tram needed. But, you will need to monorail to MK, which is only about 5 - 10 minutes, but like the bus, you have to wait for it. In this scenario, I would still plan to leave resort about 7:15, that gets you to TTC around 7:30 and gives you a 1/2 hour to get to the gate, which should be more than enough.

This. For MK, it's easier to take a resort bus since MK doesn't have its own parking lot. You'd have to park at the TTC, then go to MK.

I'd take the bus. I would be at the bus stop at 7:00.
