Okay, considering a reservation at a cabin. We like to do the Crystal Palace 8:05 reservation, but how would we get there? Do the internal busses run early enough to take us to the main bus stop where we would go to the TTC, or can I get a boat that early? This is in June.
 
Here is what we did in March for our 8:10 Crystal Palace ADR. Got on the internal bus at 7am...walk to boat dock, take boat to CR....because it took very little time to get this far(it was about 7:20/25) we decided to take the monorail around instead of walking from CR to MK. We arrived at MK around 7:40/45 and joined the line of about 6 other families waiting to get in for breakfast. Because no ADRs start before 8:05 the CM at the turnstiles did not let anyone in until about 7:55.
 
You can take the boat to MK or hop off at CR and walk to the MK from there we always walk to CR from MK when we have our Chef Mickeys dinner and then back to MK from CR after dinner it takes maybe 5 minutes if that.
 

The boat from FW to MK doesn't start running until 45 min(to an hour) before the park opens. Since OP's ADR is for before park opening that won't work(unless it is morning EMHs), after it stops at WL, at best it will get to MK about 8:20/30.
 
A few months ago we had 8:05 ADRs at the CP also and I was worried about being late. At the dock, the boat to the CR left quite a bit earlier than the boat going to the MK. We took the boat directly to the MK and had no problem getting there in time. The next day we went to the CR instead and we all enjoyed the walk from the CR to the Magic Kingdom.
 
Yep the small boat between CR, WL, and FtW starts at 6:45 am.

Plenty of time to walk to MK from CR.
