How do I get it done the fastest way?

[nerb]

Ok need some help from the experts!
I have to get our APs, and get to chef Mickey by 9:15. We r staying at BWV.
So do I:
A) walk from BW to back gate at Epcot, get our APs, proceed thru gate get on Epcot monorail, transfer at TTC to Contemporary?
Or
B) take bus from BW to MK then get on monorail to Contemporary, do our rz at chef M, then go back to MK to get our APs?

B sounds safest for not missing CM Rez, but was hoping to get the APs out of the way early...and oh ya have to get to pirates by 12:20.

Any thoughts? Is there any other way to go?
Thanks!

I would choose B. I don't think you will be able to enter Epcot before 9:00am. That would not give you enough time to get to the monorail and to the Contemporary before 9:15.

From what I've read recently I think you can now purchase AP's at the resorts. Hopefully someone will chime in yay or nay. That would help I would think.

They're not going to let you into Epcot before 9 AM, and it would take you longer than 15 minutes just to get to the monorail platform at Epcot, let alone wait for a monorail, ride to TTC, change to the resort monorail, and ride all the way around to CR. So 'A' is out.

B is a much better option, but I'd just walk to the CR from the MK bus dropoff area, instead of taking the monorail. it's a short 10 minute walk, just across the road from where the MK bus drops you off.

If you want to get the APs earlier just get them at the MK before you head over to Chef Mickey's. (Especially if you are going to walk over to the monorail anyway.)

Some guests use a taxi for early morning commitments.

I'd forget about the APs for now, get a cab to the Contemporary and then get your APs afterwards.

Thanks everyone! I think option B is the less stress option so we'll probably go w/ that.
I don't really know if we can do 5 people in a taxi so I'm hoping the busses to MK will be running early! Fingers crossed!
Thanks again!

Buses do run early. I would check with the resort to see if you can purchase APs there. I have read several threads where people have purchased them at the resort.

 

[nerb]

I would love, love, love to buy the passes at the resort. I'd feel so much better if I could do it that way! Will search for those threads. Thanks!

Not a problem. WDW has plenty of vans running around for the same cost as a sedan. Bell Services will call one for you.

I beleve this is the fastest way

Pickup your Ap's at your Hotel BWV
Take the bus to the Magic Kingdom
Get on the Resort Monorail
First stop is the Contemporary

I would take the bus and WALK to Chef Mickeys...

The walk from the bus stop to the monorail is about the same as the walk from the bus stop to CR!! And no worries about the monorail being full, not running the resort loop, broken down, etc..
