Early Morning ADR at Crystal Palace - how to get there from WL?

[andysgirl360]

I just made an ADR for CP at 8:05 am. MK opens at 9:00 am. The CM that made the reservation told me that there is no way for me to get to the park using Disney transportation to be there in time for 8:05 am. She said that the bus and boat only start running at 8:00 am, one hour before park opening.

I have been lurking here for a while, and I am sure that I read that they always have special transportation for resort guests attending character meals early in the AM. Since we are staying at WL, we are really not too far, but will we have to take a taxi?

The CM even put me on hold for a few minutes to check the bus schedule for me and she confirmed no early bus. Anyone know if it's true?

Thanks!

I've always been able to catch an early bus to MK for ADR's prior to park opening.....I would be at the bus at 7:15am and just wait for the first "breakfast bus to MK"

Tyler the bus guy could probably confirm this. I haven't ever had a problem though.

I would love to know the answer to this as well, as we booked CP for 8:25am, when the park opens at 9am. We are staying at WL also. I'm sure someone here knows the answer. TIA

They have an early bus. I think I was told they started at 6:30 or something like that, but I can't remember for sure. What I do know is that we had an 8:05 breakfast ressie at CP on a morning that MK opened at 9:00 and we took a bus from WL and were there by 7:45 am. You should be fine. That CM was probably just misinformed. Have fun!

definately do run early buses for these early meals. When staying at POFQ last year we were able to hop on a bus around 7am for our 8.05am PS for CP.

Enjoy
