We have a reservation to eat at the Crystal Palace 8am reservation. Has anyone made this traveling from Art of Animation Resort. About how long would it take to get from the resort to the entrance of the Magic Kingdom. Just trying to figure on what time we should leave to make the 8 am reservation. thanks for any help anyone can give me.
 
bus stop no later than 7 AM and probably would plan earlier.

The bus will take 30-40 minutes with an average wait.

You have to get through security. I should not be that busy if it is not an EMH morning.

Find the right gate to enter. As the CM at the gate which line it is.

CP is not too fare up the street but it will take a few minutes to walk there.

I would leave earlier if you want to take a few pictures in a nearly empty park. Busses should start running about 6:30.
 
We've ha early ones too. Let them know at the GS resort and they will help you. One time we were headed for 1890 Park on DDs Bday. We got. To the stop about 6:50. Driver Pulled up and asked us where we wanted to go. I whispered it to him because it was a surprise. He called in On his radio and said he had a special birthday delivery and he was off service and then he drove us straight to the grand Floridian! We were over an hour early. So we walked around and took pictures of the girls in various places around the grand Floridian!

That is awesome! pixiedust:
 

FWIW: It took us about 20 minutes traveling by bus from when we got on the bus at Pop to when we got off at the Magic Kingdom.
 
I would agree be at the bus stop an hour before and you should be fine. Unless it's early entry then add 15 mins on that for extra crowd bus line queue etc.

Cheers Larry.
