Help me figure this out (should I take the bus?)

[d-man's mom]

We have a busy last day of our trip-

7:50am breakfast at Chef Mickey's

MK after that until 2ish.

Back to ASMo to pack up.

Over to DTD to the Lego Store

Dinner 6pm (might be 5:30, I have to check) at Olivia's cafe

Then back to ASMo.

Suggestions on how I should do this? Should I take the bus in the morning to Contemporary and back to hotel after MK then drive to DTD & take the boat to dinner? What time do the boats stop running back to DTD?

Olivia's is one of my absolute favorite places - have fun!

The boats stop running at different times, depending on the season. When we were there in November, they began running from OKW at 11:00 a.m. and stopped pretty early if I remember correctly - 6:00 p.m.? - I can't remember. I know they run later during busy seasons (10:00 or 11:00 p.m.) and don't run at all if there are storms. So you may need a back-up if you are going during off-season or if you hit a storm. Of course, you can always take a bus to OKW or drive there. And remember, the boats also now stop at SSR, which may slow you down a little.

Your plan to head back to AllStars after the MK sounds good to me.

Ok, so I could potentially have my car at DTD and no easy way to get back to it after dinner? Yes, we are going next week, so I think that's off season.

Should I drive to DTD, do the Lego thing, then drive to OKW? I really wanted to do the boatride with ds, but don't want to be waiting around for ages for transportation either!

Anyone know what time the Lego store closes next week? I suppose we could always go after dinner and just use the car to OKW and then over to DTD then back to the hotel....

Oh and what time do the buses start in the morning? Will we make our 7:50am ressie at the contemporary if we take the bus from ASMo?

We just stayed at OKW in early November. The boats started running at 11:00 a.m and ran on the hour from OKW to DTD until 4:00 p.m. After 4:00 p.m. the boats started running on the 1/2 hour. The boat ride for us, even with stopping at SSR only took 20-25 minutes. We really enjoyed the boat ride. The boats were running late into the evening, at least 10:00 p.m.

Hope this helps a little.

Disney has early morning buses to take guests to their breakfasts throughout WDW. They start running about 45 minutes prior to the earliest scheduled breakfast for that day. You will have no problem with an early reservation at Chef Mickey's. Be at your resort bus stop about 45 minutes before your reservation in case you just missed a bus.

If you have your heart set on riding the boat to DTD, maybe you could do this...
bus to MK then walk to Chef Mickeys, eat, walk back to MK. Bus to ASMovies. Then, drive to OKW, take the boat to DTD, do the Lego store then take the OKW bus back for dinner and then drive back to ASMovies. Have a great time!!
