We are scheduled to arrive at BC on a Sunday. We are flying in on a Saturday and staying at CS for that night only.

Would I be able to check into BC (for Sunday) on Sat night? Would like to get the meal plan credits for use on Sunday morning at CS.

You can't check in until the computers change over at about 6am.

Thank you.

Would really like to use the QS meal credit Sunday morning at CS. Worried that I won't be able to get the BC and back to CS using Disney transportation before 8am to check in. Parks open at 9 that morning.

Any ideas besides getting a taxi?
 
Pay out of pocket on your CS breakfast, then go over to the BC to check in. Breakfast is usually cheaper than a counter service lunch. Save your credit and eat a nicer lunch.

Thanks. We really hoped to use our QS at pepper market that morning. Then snack for lunch since we have early dinner planned.

Disney transportation would be fine if you were going to the BC to check in and then heading to a park, but since you want to go back to CSR, a taxi would be the quickest/easiest way.

Rent a car? :)

Realistically, it would be very hard to accomplish everything using Disney transportation.

You could get to the BC using the bus that take guests to the Cape May character breakfast, but I'm not sure what time the bus starts. If the bus combines H&V character breakfast diners it would take you to DHS, where you'll have to walk to the BC or maybe the Friendship boat will be running.

Getting back to the CS would be harder. You'll have to return to DHS and get a bus.

I don't think you'll have enough time to eat at CS and take a bus to the MK in time for rope drop.

If you take a taxi or rent a car you would be able to accomplish everything since you can check in starting at 6 AM. One person in your group can check in at the BC while the rest of the family gets ready at CS.

Ultimately, you'll probably have to decide which is more important - using a dining credit at Pepper Market or making rope drop at the park. Overall, using a dining credit for breakfast isn't the best use since you only get an entree and one beverage; there's no dessert component. Maybe you could check in at BC and head to the park, then have a late breakfast or early lunch at or near the park.
 
IMO, it would not be worth the hassle to go to BC, check-in, and then go back to CSR solely for the purpose of using a QS credit at Pepper Market. If you pay for a taxi, you would be spending money needlessly there when you could have just paid OOP at Pepper Market and saved your credit. If you use Disney transportation, you'd have to bus to DHS and likely walk to BC because I don't think the boats run that early and if they do, they won't be frequent. Then you'd have to get back to DHS and catch a bus back to CSR which I don't think may even be possible, considering buses are going FROM resorts to parks at that time - not the other way around. It would take forever and likely make you late for rope drop.

Thanks. Not looking to make rope drop but what you state is exactly what I thought. I am not worried about it.

Decided to stay at POP that first night now. Will just pay OOP there for breakfast and then start our day.

Thanks everyone for your replies. :-)
