How to get to Epcot by 8:15

[Evil Genius]

I have a Segway tour booked for 8:30. The CM who took my reservation told me that buses don't start running from Pop to the parks until 8:00. So she told me to take the bus to MK (since they have early emh that day) and then take the monorail to Epcot. Is this right? Between the early tours and the princess breakfast at Norway, wouldn't they have early buses to Epcot also?

Yes, there are buses running around 6 am!! The only time I have gotten a CM that actually knew what they were talking about when it comes to transportation times was when I had to get to the front of Epcot for a Holiday tour at 8:15ish. And, of course, I was staying at BW, so no buses. But, the CM checked into it for me, and found out it was an EMH morning, so I could enter with no issues at all. Which I already knew, but at least he made the effort of checking it out so I had no questions.
If you need to be at Epcot's front by 8:15, I would plan on being at the POP bus stop by about 7:00. Early, yes, but if the bus to Epcot is just pulling away, you may have to wait an addtl 20+ mins for the next one...better safe than sorry.

The buses will be running early to Epcot as there is the Character Breakfast in Norway and each park that has a Character Breakfast will have buses running early in the AM. Just make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get to Epcot and then to your meeting place for the tour.

Thank you!! I didn't think I'd have to go the round about way. And yes, the 7:00 bus makes sense
