How much time to allow to get from Beach Club to Magic Kingdom for a reservation?

[maryj11]

What time should we get in line for the bus at Beach Club to make it to Magic Kingdom by 5:30 pm? Our reservation is a Be Our Guest at 6:00 pm.
This will be at the end of June when it is summer crowds.

If it were me, I would be out there by 4:45. A bit earlier if you don't mind being early!

I was going to say 4:30. The extra security can take some time. I would want to leave plenty of time. If you're early you can always do some shopping or something.

Agree that 4:30 to 4:45 makes good sense. It'll be sure you get there on time, and no stress.

If you happen to get there a little early, you can take some pictures or explore shops, or even get in Philharmagic if the timing is right. Or Treehouse. Or People Mover. Or just love that you are in the MK!!

not a fan of bus service @ BC or BW.

i'd go as early as you can to work into your day & enjoy one of the large capacity attractions

otherwise, i'd spring for uber and get dropped off @ CR & walk over.

 

[maryj11]

Thanks all. I know on reservations it says to allow 90 minutes to get there but you think an hour or 45 minutes would be good?

I think 1 hour is the minimum. Better safe than sorry.

What is uber? I have never heard of them.

Hour MINIMUM if using Disney buses.

If you don't mind walking, you could walk to Epcot, get on the Monorail and take it over. I was not overly impressed with the bus service from BC to MK when I tried using it last month.

alternate transportation method, similar to a taxi but much cheaper. google 'uber' and website has nice tutorial to walk u thru it.

Don't do this unless you have a ticket that allows hopping. You need admission to enter EPCOT and if you have a base ticket, you won't be able to enter the MK if you use a base ticket to enter EPCOT first.

I need to say it this way, "If you don't mind walking, you could walk through Epcot, get on the Monorails and take them over. I.e. also transfer at Transportation and TIcket Center.

Bears repeating: N.B. the previous reply.

I would estimate the walk from Beach Club to monorail station to be about a mile.

 

[maxiesmom]

I would taxi to the Contemporary and then walk over. An hour ahead of time I would be getting in that taxi. You need to walk over, clear bag check, enter the park, and then hike back to Be Our Guests.

Don't forget too that you are asked to check in 10 minutes before your ADR.

Thanks all. I know on reservations it says to allow 90 minutes to get there but you think an hour or 45 minutes would be good?

No. If you use Disney transportation you need to account for waiting for the bus, and then the ride over, and clearing security, and walking to BoG.

We have hoppers.

 

[maxiesmom]

We have hoppers.

It is a long walk.

 

[maryj11]

It is a long walk.

I think we will take the bus.

 

[maxiesmom]

I think we will take the bus.

Then definitely allow 90 minutes to make it to your ADR.
