Early bus service to AK

[jar]

When AK opens at 7am for EMH, anyone know what time bus service starts from resorts like BW and how often it runs early in the morning? We'd like to get there at opening. Thanks.

It should start around 6:00. I would be at the bus stop no later than 6:00.

Thanks. Do you think the buses run so rarely that we really need to be at stop by 6am to be in AK by 7am?

I would.

Let's say there isn't a bus at 6:00 or it comes a little before 6:00 and you miss it and the next bus doesn't come until 6:15 to 6:20 or even later and then it is 10-12 minutes to DAK,that doesn't leave a lot of "wiggle room" if you want to be standing at the Mickey readers before 7:00.

Hmmm. Maybe a taxi isn't a bad idea at that hour. Anyone done it and have a fare estimate?

I think it depends on why you want to be there at opening. Is it because you just want to have a full day there? Then, arriving a little after opening is no big deal. If you are trying to get in as many rides or characters before the lines start, then you should be at the bus around 6:00.

Man, I'm glad we don't do park openings anymore!

we're actually planning a big park hop day that day so we'd like to arrive at RD for our three highlights (a couple EE, a couple KRR and Kilamanjaro) and then leave for MK before crowds build there. we are dividing the weekend between SWW on saturday and everything else we like on sunday.

Yep, then you want to be there right at opening. You'll definitely have a crazy touring day that day. Enjoy!

Thankfully DS has finally reached the age where he can keep up with me and enjoys this approach! DW not coming on this trip -- she thinks we're nuts.

I think you're nuts too!
