Getting to Princess Storybook breakfast

[debkateri]

We are staying at the Coronado Springs and have a 9am seating at Princess storybook breakfast in Epcot. Does anyone know how early the buses run in the morning? My husband is disabled and walks slow, so need some extra time to walk over. I think the park opens at 9am that day. Thanks for your help.

PS. If anyone happens to have a res at CRT for May 14 or 15 that they don't need, let me know. That would save us the hassle of going to Epcot just for Princesses and then zipping back to the MK.

I think the buses run about 30min prior to opening. As far as the CRT ressies go, they are non-transferrable now. You are even charged a fee for each person on a credit card. The person who made the ressies has to be the one who shows up for the table. Sorry.

When we went to the Princess dinner last Oct, the bus designated for "special" "character meals" came by at 7:45. Our PS was for 8:30. We had plenty of time.
You will have to give your name and PS # at the front gate and passing from FW into WS.
So plan on catching the bus around 8, that gives lots of time to walk back there.

Is there a chance you can rent one of the electric carts so he doesn't have to walk all that way?
It really is a long walk from the front gate to the Princess breakfast and then back again to catch the monorail back to MK (it sounds like that is what you might be planning).

You will enjoy the breakfast!!! The food was very good!
Have fun!

Thanks for the help. Glad to know that the buses will be running early enough and that they have ones specifically for the early character dining. My husband will be able to make the walk, just usually move a little slower than the average folks, so wanted to be sure we had some extra time built in. Also, I did realize that the CRT res are not transferable. Just wishful thinking that someone might be calling to cancel one they didn't need on one of my dates so I could call that day in hopes it might still be available. I have been calling every so often, but so far no luck. No luck on the early morning calls at the 60 day mark either. Guess this is the 3rd time we will have to miss the castle (tried in Sept 01 and May 02). We are happy to have any Princess dining.
