How early to downtown disney?

[nisiemouse]

Does anyone know how early the buses run from the resorts to downtown disney? DH is attending a conference at the Grosvenor and we are staying at POFQ. Thanks.

9:30 or so - the stores open at 10 (usually), so the buses wouldn't start too much before that.

If he HAS to be there earlier than that and he absolutely doesn't want to take a taxi.

It is roundabout, but will get him there.

Take an early bus to one of the theme parks, (about 7:00 am), then take a bus to Saratoga Springs.

Also, a lot of times Typhoon Lagoon buses share with Downtown Disney. Typhoon Lagoon opens at 9am for Disney resorts guests, so a bus to Typhoon Lagoon, then ask the driver if he'll make a stop at Downtown Disney, if he isn't already stopping there.

Thanks for the ideas. We will have a rental car but for the first day his group will be taking a van to AK for a scavenger hunt and then we were going to meet him at AK for the afternoon. We just didn't want to have to pick the car up later at the Grosvenor if possible. I may just suggest a taxi for this one day.

The shops at the DTD Marketplace open every day at 9:30am. I am not sure when the busses start running, but this might be a bit better gauge. You can always call the info line when you check in (or maybe the front desk staff knows the answer).

Enjoy your trip!
