Getting to Boma

[addiln]

So I have a breakfast reservation for Boma at 9:30 and will be staying at BLT. What do you think is the best way to get the AKL from there? I was thinking I would walk over MK and take the bus to there but not sure since MK does not open till 9 that morning. Any other suggestions?

I would do just as you planned (walk to MK and bus to AKL). Buses start running well before park opening(s), so you should be fine for a 9:30am ADR.

I don't recommend the "bus from a park" approach. The bus system in the morning is designed to get guests *from* resorts, *to* parks. Hence they will often drop off at the parks, but not pick up, as they often will not even know at that point where they're headed next. You could find yourself waiting quite a while before a bus stops to pick up guests for any particular resort.

(Yes, I know this is counter-intuitive, but that's what happens.)

If you don't want to take Uber/Lyft, I would monorail to the TTC and speak with one of the transportation coordinators in the booth there near the bus area. They may be able to arrange for a driver to pick up. Or, if you really want to go over to MK, go to the outside guest relations window and tell them your situation.

You should be fine going to the MK bus area. Theme park Guest Relations generally will be of little help with transportation issues.

From about 1 hour before park opening, there should be cm's in the load zones watching for Guests in the load zone queues. If you are standing at the front of the queue (not hanging out behind it), they should see you and order up a bus. If you want to be sure, look for a cm in the load zones wearing an orange safety vest and ask them for a bus. If you don't see any orange vests, ask a bus driver to call dispatch for you.

You may not get a bus immediately, but you should get one within the standard 20 minutes.

I took a taxi over and it was fast and not that expensive.

Glad to hear that they've improved this situation. It had been a problem for a long time.
