Early buses for tours?

[smt218]

Hi,
I was wondering what time do the buses start running? I'm asking because I was thinking of going on the Keys to the kingdom tour, and if I was to pick 8:30, don't think I would make it in time. Do most people drive themselves or take a taxi when doing the tours? If people do take taxi's, where would you get one at Pop century?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

You may have more luck posting this question on the tranportation board. There has been some discussion about whether the early buses designed to get people to early PS's were still running, and someone posted that they got information from a CM that they still are. I don't think you'd have a problem with an 8:30 tour, since buses start running at least an hour before park opening, and if you have an 8:30 tour, I would assume that MK opened at 8.

I think the buses start running 90 minutes to two hours before park opening. Not only are there tours that start early, but character meals also.

We did an 8:30 PS at Crystal Palace at MK. There's a CM with a clipboard that will have your name on it. You'll be allowed in early.

We also did the Segway Tour at Epcot back in February. We had to report to Guest Relations bt 8:30. We caught a bus from AKL about 7:45. We waited about 20 minutes outside Epcot (along with families waiting for the Princess breakfast) before they let us in.

Not a problem in either case. Be at your bus stop by 7:45 am.

BTW, KttK is a great tour!
