contemporary to epcot during am emh

[portobello_rd]

Currently staying at the BLT and having an awesome time. This morning is emh at Epcot. Got up early, hit my monorail and got off at transportation center to be told that the Epcot monorail doesn't start until eight am. I said that wasn't good, since the plan was to hit Epcot at rope drop. The cm I spoke to got another guy who said the monorail would be working at about 745 for us. I said OK, good enough but then my dh asked what we would do if we happened to have dinning reservations early enough that we would be late. Like an 8 am if the monorail doesn't open till eight. He said it was a valid question and he didn't know the answer so he'd get a manager. Dave the manager came over and although we asked the question we didn't really get a real answer. Dave then said he had a bus lined up for us to go to Epcot at that moment. So very very nice of him to do, but I thought I'd ask the boards, would we have to take a cab in the future if we planned any early morning ADR's? Is there an easier way to get to Epcot for early mornings? Thanks in advance.

Ask at your resort (before taking the first monorail to commence your journey) about early morning buses to get to "Aidyars".

Non-monorail resorts have early buses, called character buses long ago; the official terminology now is that regular buses start running ca 6:30. But don't cut things too close; buses don't run that often and also allow for at least 2 buses which could be half an hour apart in case the first is too full to take you.

If the concierge says take the monorail then do so and continue to ask to have a bus or van lined up for you at the transportation and ticket center when you get there and if the Epcot monorail is not running.
