Getting to MK on time??

[dis4harley]

We have ADR's for Crystal Palace at 8:05 on a morning that MK opens at 9:00. We are staying at Ft. Wilderness. How early will the boats be running? Should we be able to take a boat? Or will we need to take a bus, or drive? If we drive, we would still have to take a boat or monorail from TTC. How early do they run??

I was hoping to be at the gate at about 7:30 -7:45.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Alisha

I don't know the answer, but I'm bumping up for you.

Maybe you should contact the hotel directly.

Ask when you check in the cms there will know the best information. When i have needed to get to the MK early from other resorts I have been told the buses actually start running at 6:30 I think- so check and find out how. You may be told to take the launch to the Contemporay and Walk over- the boat may be running or a bus may be running but if they have a restraunt that is open they will have a way for you to get there without your own transportation. The monorails may not be running and you would have to drive to the transportation and ticket center and wait for the monorails to start before going by your own car.

Ask several CM's...we were at WL last October and had 8:05 adr for CP. Were told by the concierge desk downstairs that the boats were running to MK starting at 7:30am...not so! Had to take bus to MK, but we were already at the boats! We made it by 8:10, but were annoyed b/c we asked in advance. So, just ask a couple of people..mabey even the boat guys about the schedule as opposed to the CM's.

Boats are the LAST to start running of all the transportation (and earliest to stop at night.)

Buses start running VERY early from the resorts (starting between 6:30 and 6:45am).

That is the standard mode of transportation suppied by Disney to take guests to early ADRs (and other early activities, like tours) at all parks.
