Early ADR Transportation Question

[buzzliteyear1]

On 6/6/16 we have an ADR for BOG in the Magic Kingdom for 8:10 am. We are staying at Coronado Springs Resort. We are a group of 7 with one member using a mobility chair.

As the Park opens at 9AM that day the buses from the resort to the MK will not start running until 8AM. So taking a resort bus will not work. Some of us are flying in so we will not have enough vehicles to just drive to the TCC and park. What are some good options for getting 7 people from the Coronado to the MK early morning with a Mobility scooter? Is there a separate drop off area for the MK or do we have to go to the TCC or maybe Contemporary and take monarail/ walk from there.


Thanks for the Help

Buses start running at 6:30 every day.

Welcome to the Dis!

As Alesia's stated, the resort buses start running to the park at 6:30, not an hour before park opening (even if you read this on the WDW website, that one hour info is nonsense).

All WDW buses are Handicapped accessible. I'm not sure what a "mobility chair" is. But both wheelchairs and ecvs (scooters) can be easily handled. You will find all the information you need about using mobility devices at WDW on the DisAbilities forum. Here's a link:http://www.disboards.com/forums/disabilities.20/

Thanks for the input guys. Believe it or not I had sent the question to Disney and below you can see the reply. Its great to hear that it is nonsense about the 1 hour time limit. I just wish Disney would tell there employees that.

Dear Mike,

Thank you for contacting the Walt Disney World® Resort.

The air conditioned motor coaches start running 1 hour before the opening of
each theme park. On the day you have your advance dining reservations at the
Magic Kingdom® for Be Our Guest, the Magic Kingdom® opens at 9a which means the
air conditioned motor coaches will begin operation at 8am that morning which
will not allow enough time for your to travel from Disney's Coronado Springs. To
make your advance dining reservation, you would need to hire a taxi.

Never, ever believe anything that a CM tells you via email or over the phone.

I truly believe that this is a case of 'our butts are covered in case something doesn't work out correctly' by Disney. If they say buses don't run until an hour prior to park opening, and you get to a bus stop at 7:30, to get to an 8:30 ADR, and a bus doesn't come quickly enough, Disney will tell you that you shouldn't have planned on a bus before 8am, for a 9am park opening.
But, I've always seen buses starting at 6:30...every morning, at every resort, for every park...for years.
