EMM from BWI

[got15]

Hey! Im hoping this is the right board- if not please place in correct forum. We are doing EMM at MK and will be staying at BWI. We will have a car- but debating if the busses run that early- we would use those. Does BWI share a bus with the other EPCOT resorts, if so what is the order? Thank you!!

Not sure what EMM is, but buses start rolling at 6:30AM every day.

No it does not.

It depends on the day. I was just there and the bus from the BW to the Magic Kingdom stopped at the Swan.

We were at BWV in July/August and the busses would stop at the Swan 2nd, but only at off peak times. They have video monitors at the bus stop that were very accurate on the times the next busses would would arrive for each park.

Though the busses were supposed to start one hour before park opening, we did have to drive to AK for an pre-opening ADR and to make it to MK for RD on EMH. All the monitors were blank and after waiting 20 minutes we gave up and drove.

That's incorrect. Buses start at 6:30.
OP, there will be a bus that gets you to MK in time for EEM

I was unaware of that. It seems odd the busses start two and a half hours before the parks open and an hour before ADRs begin. We did elect to drive after sitting from 7:00-7:20 after seeing no busses to make our ADR for Tusker by 8:00. I asked at concierge and was told only MK had busses running sine they had EMH at 8:00.

Unfortunately, for some unexplained reason, Disney resort staff have no clue what time buses start running.
Getting on a bus 1 hour before an ADR is exactly why they start that early. 60 to 90 min is the time frame Disney recommends people leave before an ADR. Plus you need time to check in and walk to the dining location.
If you got to a bus stop about 7:00 you'd missed the first bus. They start at 6:30 but don't run as often as they will a bit later in the morning. You want to be at a bus stop about 6:30 to be sure to get that first bus (if you have 8:00 AM) ADR

We had no problem taking an early bus for EMM on 9/6 from BC. The buses do start running at 6:30am. We made sure to get to the bus stop at 7am and a bus pulled right up, and we got to MK with plenty of time to check-in for EMM.
