Hilton Bonnet Creek to Breakfast at Chef Mickey to Park Reservation at Epcot... Check my plan please and thank you...

[LovesTimone]

So we are staying off site, Hilton Bonnet Creek, - and our plan is to ride the bus that Hilton offer to MK or use Uber to get to the Contemporary Resort

Have Breakfast at Chef Mickey's

Then we can use the Monorail to get to the Transportation station

At the Transportation station, switch to the Epcot Monorail...

OR ....

should we just plan on getting a bus to Epcot from the Contemporary Resort

Leaving Epcot at the end of the night, we most likely will use Uber to get back, or the bus that Hilton Bonnet Creek offers...

This should work.... Right?

What time is your reservation and what time does MK open that day? If it's right at park opening or before I would take an uber or lyft. It's a fair walk from the MK busses to Contemporary, and if you go the way you are supposed to, you would have to clear MK security then go down the walking path to CR.

From Contemporary to Epcot you could take either the bus or Monorail, no idea which is a better choice.

Our ADR is 11:20 ... so not going to be in the rope drop traffic..

When are you going? The EPCOT monorail is not currently operating, since there is no park hopping at the moment.

Renting a car is the ideal scenario, both logistically & because it's the safest mode of transport right now.

Make sure the bus from Bonnet Creek is running. Another thread said that the Disney Springs Hotels buses are not running.

If it is running, the bus will take you to the TTC, not the MK. You will need to take the Resort Monorail to get to CR.

As someone else said, the Epcot Monorail is not running right now. If it is still not running at the time of your trip, there will be a bus from CR to Epcot. If it is running, there will not a be a bus available to Epcot; you will take the Resort Monorail to the TTC and transfer to the Epcot Monorail.

Are they still serving breakfast at 11:20?

ETA: Bfast ends at 11:30.

OP, I'm going back many years, but we had a late breakfast at CM. There weren't as many characters around and the food was all getting taken down. Maybe they've changed how they handle things.

I would take an Uber or Lyft to Contemporary for the ADR. Then, if you don't care what time you get to EPCOT, take the bus from Contemporary

I was about to post this exactly, so +1 on this exact plan.

Another vote for this plan.

IF the Hilton bus is running, it probably runs on a pretty infrequent schedule that may not fit your plans. I also don't know if there is a charge for the Hilton bus, but there are fees for some of the offsite hotel buses.

Uber/Lyft is easy, convenient, and pretty inexpensive. I'd also Uber home from Epcot at the end of your day.

OP here

I called Hilton directly at Bonnet Creek, and the buses are running.... We are Hilton members and we have stayed here before, I don't think we have ever been charged for the bus, and now they are an officially Walt Disney Resort partner...

They are seating up to 11:30, so we should be fine. So there are taking ADR's and seating tables until 11:30, so the food will still be coming out, It's not like they are going to only give us 10 minutes to eat,and kick us out.... There will not be any character interactions. Which we knew going in... Right now it is family style... We are locals and we have lots of friends that have had breakfast here, since they opened back up and they said it was plentifully and a really good assortment of breakfast items.. One guy DH works with said he actually like it better than the buffet, he said it was a very relaxing way to start the day. So will have to see...

OP here,

Since the Hilton Bonnet Creek became an Official, Walt Disney Resort Hotel and Partner... I am wondering if they will have drop off and pick up at the Bus loop at MK... or if the will drop off at the transportation station.... It seem like once they drop off at the Transportation station and the driver said it was because of some construction... and then once I thought they dropped us off at the regular bus loop at MK but that was before the expansion of the loop... DH was like if they drop off at the bus loop we can just walk over to the Contemporary, like we did when our friends were staying at the Contemporary, and we spent the day with them...

Any one know...Where they drop off at?

I might have to make another phone call... If I do, I will post my findings...

No, We aren't worried about what time we get to Epcot... we are locals and AP holders so we are just going to take our time, and stroll around and enjoy being back...

highly unlikely. The Hotel Plaza aBoulevard buses don't go directly to MK and never did, from what I recall. That's two buses, but it used to be one.

The only bus I've ever seen come into the MK loop other than a Disney resort bus was a Disney Cruise Line bus.
