We will be staying at the AKL at the end of this month, and we have Priority Seating at Chef Mickey's for breakfast at 8:00. Around what time should we catch a bus? Also where is the best place to get off at to get to the Contemporary?

Thanks,

We just got back from Chef Mickeys on Sunday. I'll post my review later (it was not great, by the way). Best thing for you to do would be to take the bus to Magic Kingdom or Epcot and then catch a monorail to the TTC and then monorail to contemporary. I'm paranoid about being late for these kind of things and demanded that my family be at the bus stop every morning exactly one hour before I wanted to be somewhere. we had good luck (actually great luck) with busses and this rule of thumbe worked very well as we were always where we had to be with plenty of time to spare. A first for my family!
 
Both Epcot and MK open at 9:00am. Since the buses begin operation about one hour prior to park opening, you'll need a different mode of transportation if you wish to arrive on time for your 8am PS.

My suggestion would be to take a taxi. It is quick, direct, and I have found them quite reasonable. Call the bell stand from your room and they will have one waiting for you when you're ready to go.
 
Actually, the buses will start running at 7:00am for the Magic Kingdom. Just be out at the bus stop no later than 7:30, and let the driver know you're having breakfast at the Contemporary. He or she will either take you directly there, or if they are unable to take you directly, will show you how to get on the Monorail.
 

Thank you, Chip N Dale... this thread had me worrying (the post before yours) until I read your post. We have several early morning breakfast PS's at some resorts (GF, etc.) and some at the parks before opening (and not on an EMH morning either) and I was reassured in other threads that the resorts will have buses running that early to get to character breakfasts -so I'm glad you concur with that! :)
 
Don't worry. We'll get you to those breakfasts. MK runs for MK and MK Resort area, Studios runs for the Epcot resort area, AK runs for AK's Restaurantasaurus, and Epcot runs for Epcot's Princess breakfast. (And of course for early entries of course)

First bus should get to AK Lodge between 7:00-7:15, give or take.


I usually have one of these crack of dawn runs... so who knows, I might be your driver. :)
