CP Breakfast - What Time to get there?

[labfan]

We were planning on having breakfast here on one of our days in June - would like to have one of the first seatings with ADR but was wondering what time we would get to MK since the breakfast will be before the park opens.
We were thinking of just taking the Disney bus from POFQ? Would that be doable? And do we just inform the CM at the ticket counter that we have breakfast ADR?
This will be the first time we ever did an ADR before a park was open which is why I have so many questions. We thought it would be nice to see Main Street pretty mych empty of people on our way to breakfast and get a couple nice pictures.

I think taking the bus is the best option. I'd plan to be at the POFQ stop around 7-7:15.

For an 8:05 ADR, they will generally let you in at 7:45/7:50, so you want to arrive at MK a few minutes before that.

There will be a specially marked turnstile, I find it's always to the far right, for early tour and breakfast ADRs. Sometimes they just let you through with no questions asked, and other times they will want to see a confirmation number, so make sure to have it on hand.

The buses and boats don't usually start running until 1 hour before park opening so how do you get to CP leaving before 8 AM? Anyone?

If the buses don't start running until an hour before the park opening that puts a little glitch in the plans. I was hoping to just rely on Disney transportation as I don't like to drive. I've never done an ADR before park opening before.

I will have a problem also. I thought if you had ADR that Disney would provide transportation if the parks aren't open. They can't expect everyone to call a taxi

North of Mouse,
I asked on the transportation thread (you can check out the post What time do buses start running) and RMAMom stated they go 2-3 times a year for 8:00 ADRs and get the resort bus at 7:00.
So I guess they do start earlier.

To cbg1027, you stated the same information as what I was told on the transportation board. Thank you. I asked on that board after I got the response from both you and North of Mouse. Since I was confused with the two answers I decided to ask on the other thread as well. Didn't mean to doubt you.

The buses will be running in time for early ADRs. You can check at the front desk to find out what time, but we are usually at the bus stop by 7:00 for an 8:05 CP ADR. Seems like the bus usually comes around 7:15, but they don't run very often that early, and we don't want to miss it.

We have an 8:10 at CP on June 10th!

Thanks everyone for the transportation info
