Early breakfast ADRs -- bus vs. car ???

[HardShell]

First, we will be staying at the Pop Century and we will have the "family truckster" with us... but would prefer to use the buses whenever possible/practical.

We have an 8:10am CP ADR and plan to be at the MK all that day -- I think the bus is feasible for that one.

We have a 7:50am Akershus ADR and plan to stay at EPCOT that whole day -- this is one I'm concerned about. Bus/monorail or car?

We also have a 7:15am Chef Mickey's ADR and plan to be at the MK that whole day -- this is the one I'm most concerned about. Bus or car? If car, where to park???

Any help would be appreciated...

All your ADR's are easily reached via Disney buses. Early buses are provided for guests eating at the various breakfasts all around WDW. For the MK buses start around 6:15am - 6:30am daily. For Chef Mickey's just tell the driver where you are going. Many times they can drop you off right at the Contemporary. If you are dropped off at the MK just take the short seven minute walk to the Contemporary.

For all your ADR's be at the bus stop at least one hour before your reservation. The early buses don't run as often as the regular buses. Also, don't worry about Epcot. They will have a bus for that breakfast.

We stopped renting cars years ago. We let Disney take care of everything. To me it is much less stressfull than driving. One tip we use always - at park closing (any park) do NOT race out to the exits after the fireworks (or whatever closes the park). Take your time and shop, window shop, grab a snack, anything like that. If you allow 15 to 20 minutes to go by when you get to the bus station everything will be peaceful. 99% of the crowd storms out at park closings so just take your time and enjoy!

1)CP- I almost always prefer the bus going to MK.

2)Akershus- I might drive to that one. But if you wanted to use the bus I think you still would be fine, they'll get you there in plenty of time as long as you leave early.

3)Def use the bus, if you drove to the CR, you would only get a 3 hour parking pass for your meal. You could move your car over to the TTC afterwards, but that is just an extra little trip. Take the bus to MK (they usually start in the 6:20-6:30 range) and ask the driver the best way to get over to the CR. If he can, he might just drop you off there after making the MK stop. Otherwise, it's just a short walk from the MK bus depot over to the CR. Just be out early for the bus!

The resort has the early bus geared towards character breakfast. The bus starts around 6am, and you tell the driver you have a reservation and they are supposed to make sure you make your time.
