early breakfast at Poly

[Lynne G]

We have 7:55 am ressie at O'Hana's. I know we can catch an early bus from Pop to the MK, and maybe even to the Poly. Trouble is, after breakfast, we need to get back to Pop. I know we can walk to the TTC from the Poly, and it's not a long walk. Would we have trouble getting a bus there, or should we ride the mono all the way around to MK, and wait for the bus there? I am thinking of allotting at least a hour from either the TTC or MK to get back to Pop. Where would be the best bet, and when should we wait?

There are no resort buses at the TTC these days (other than for SOG last I knew). You will need to go to the MK and catch a Pop bus there or take a bus to AK or DHS and transfer to a Pop bus. You could also walk to the TTC, monorail to Epcot and pick up a Pop bus there. I would just go to the MK.

Is it possible to schedule your breakfast for a MK day?

We stayed at POP last August and also had a early reservation at O'Hana. If you get lucky, your bus driver will drop you off at Poly on his/her way to the MK (as our driver did). It doesn't hurt to ask. Back to POP...I agree, take the monorail to the MK and take the bus back. Enjoy!!! Breakfast is awesome there!!!!!!!

I appreciate, as I wasn't sure any resorts went to the TTC. I like the idea of going to MK or Epcot. I am thinking more toward Epcot, since we can walk to the TTC, then catch the mono to Epcot and its the next stop. We can wait for the bus there as Epcot's closer to Pop then MK. We have to be back around 10:30 to make sure we don't miss our ME bus, that leaves at 11. I am hoping we can catch a character bus about 6:50 or 7 am and hopefully directly to the Poly and see if they will let us in early. I know O'Hana opens at 7:30. With the 7:55 ADR, Disney suggests 20 minutes early, that means checking in at 7:35. I figure if we can get in before our actual ADR time, then we can leave around 9:15. I was hoping to ask for my check soon after being served so that we can go when its time.

Thanks to both above posters for the help!

It's been my experience that it is very difficult to get a bus from a park to a resort early in the morning. The busses that are dropping off are usually not going back from where they came.

My advice would be to get a cab from Poly back to POP. The piece of mind will be well worth the cab fare.

I was thinking a cab too. I am very nervous about missing the ME. I thought it'd be nice to have a fun breakfast the day we leave. Also, got online and found a 7:40 ressie, so changed my 7:55 for the earlier one. I think that would give me more peace of mind too. I was also thinking about taking the bus to DTD from the Poly and/or asking the front desk at Pop or Poly what my options would be. Maybe a cab would also be able to be taken from Epcot or DS. I think the cab ride to Pop would be shorter from either of those parks rather than the Poly.
