Early Morning Reservations

[aenelson]

I will be at WDW Oct 18-27, I have several early breakfast reservations, such as Chef Mickey, Ohana, Donald Safari....My question is what is the easiest way to get to these reservations. We are from Arizona so we will not be driving or renting a car....I am hoping we can take buses, but our earliest reservations are 7 am?

Buses leave the resorts around 0630 for the character breakfasts. We usually plan to leave 45 minutes early just to make sure we get there on time. However, with a 0700 ressie, you may want to take a cab (about $15) to breakfast and the bus back. The return trip on the bus will also have to go through a park or the TTC.

Hi,

Where are you planning on staying and which restaurants have the 7am reservations?

Unless you are staying at the resort with the 7am reservation ( ie Polynesian for Ohana) then you might be better with a taxi as there might only be one Disney bus that early in the morning.

Regards

Buses begin running as early as 6:15 am, however, they are very unpredictable and infrequent early in the morning. You will really need to take a taxi for your 7:00 am adr. I would also highly recommend taking a taxi for your 7:30 am adrs because buses are so unpredictable. If you choose to take Disney bus transportation for your 7:30 adrs I would suggest being at the bus stop an hour before your adr. Just be aware for your Ohana & Chef Mickey's 7:30 adrs you will probably have to take a bus to MK & then the monorail to the Poly for Ohana & to the Contemporary for Chef Mickey's (sometimes the bus driver will take you directly to the resort but there is no guarantee). Since Cape May is at the Beach Club your best bet is to take a taxi - otherwise you have to take a bus to a park & then hope to get a bus going to the Beach Club from the park by 7:00 am in the morning - this is very difficult - so I would highly suggest a taxi. You should be fine using Disney buses for your 8:00 am 1900 Park Fare adr - buses will begin being more frequent around 7:00 am - you will probably have to take a bus to MK & then take the monorail to the Grand Floridian.

If it were me, I would take a taxi for all your adrs except 1900 Park Fare at 8:00 am just because Disney buses are so unpredictable early in the morning - we had two instances in the past where we were at the bus stop at 6:30 am in the morning for our 7:30 am adrs and ended up being 10-15 minutes late.
