Character breakfast bus from Swan?

[Teacher510]

The Resort Board mentioned buses to transport people to character breakfasts before the normal park-opening runs. We have a PS at 8 AM at 1900 Park Faire at GF one day and Keys to the Kingdom Tour at 8:15 and if we could get a bus for these it would be easier than driving to TTC. Anyone have any experience with this at the Swan? Thanks!

We did the same thing in June. The special bus showed up just after 7:00 am. It also made stops at the Dolphin and Yacht and Beach Clubs. I believe it was also supposed to stop at the Boardwalk but another bus showed up and took the Boardwalk instead. We had an 8:00 am PS at 1900 Park Faire. The driver picked up another family at the Dolphin and dropped them off at the Magic Kingdom first and took us over to GF after that. We arrived at about 7:40 am. I would just check with guest services at the Swan and make sure they are still doing it. The other option we had was a taxi that would have taken us direct to the GF for a set fee. The taxi's are waiting right out front of the Swan.

Thank you so much for the first-hand account. I'll make sure to ask at check-in.

Character Breakfast busses start running at 7:00am. (However, they may show up at your particular stop a lil bit after) They will also run every 20 mins, give or take.

Just tell the driver where you are going, and they will help you as best they can. Most times, they can take you directly to the resort, however, sometimes it's not always possible, and you might have to transfer. But usually, they can provide direct...

When planning what time to catch the bus... keep in mind that the bus might have to make other stops. Like Uncle Mikey said, thier bus stopped off at YC/BC... For an 8:00 PS at the GF... try and catch that first 7:00 bus... and if you're early... who knows, you might get seated early. As for the 8:15 Tour... you could probably get away with up to 7:30... but... I always say... can't hurt to be early!

Thank you SO much for the great help! I would also rather be too early than having to rush!
