IMPORTANT UPDATE on Character Breakfast Transportation Information

[Chip 'n Dale Express]

EDIT TO MY ORIGINAL POST:

I was given wrong information. All the more reason to never trust those unless they are wearing purple pants. (and I no longer wear purple pants)

From an OFFICIAL Disney Transport source:

The early morning Breakfast Buses STILL DO EXIST!

Buses will run 45 minutes prior to the first seating time for any Disney restaurant.

ie: Chef Mickey's opens at 7:00am, so the first MK area bus will be at 6:15-6:30am.

Ayyyyy!!! Thank you so much for posting this Tyler, though I hope this is not true! I have had my early morning PS's made for months and now I might have no way to get to them!

I am staying at POP, anyone know any other options? Taxi?

EKE - thanks for the warning Tyler! I was on the bus/car fence, but I guess that resolves the debate!

Thanks for the info. I have a PS for CP in MK on our trip for 8:25. I think that they would have some sort of bus for the early breakfasts. How else would you make it there on time. I,too, am also staying at the POP. Does anybody have info on this or experience a bus not being there?

 

[Chip 'n Dale Express]

My *GUESS* is that the theme park breakfasts should still be fine.

They used to have buses starting as early as 6:20, to take guests to various breakfasts around property. However when booking, Dining for whatever reason would always INSIST that the buses did not exist. As such, ridership was very low. (Actually, even many night time bus drivers did not know they exist) Because of this low ridership, they have recently been discontinued.

So, if we have 8:00 ps what should we do? We have them for AK but you think those will be okay. What about MK...8:05 for CP and CRT? and 8:00 1900 Park Fare? WOW, this really makes a mess of things.

ThinK i am just going to have to risk a bus coming as I realize that arranging a taxi than can transport my ECV will be a challenge too.

It's really hard to say at this point...

I am very annoyed with Disney at the moment....

 

[Chip 'n Dale Express]

I might suggest writing to Disney Transport, and letting them know how valuable those buses really were. My guess is that they were discontinued for low ridership. If Disney realizes that they would have higher ridership if they kept them, and let folks know about them, they might be brought back.

ME is reducing the need for a rental car and now Disney transportation policy is giving us a reason to rent a car.

 

[EEyorelover22]

Do you have the address?

 

[Chip 'n Dale Express]

LOL, funny how that works.

 

[Chip 'n Dale Express]

Do you have the address?

I will PM it.

I will. Anyone know who to write to though? I have searched the main DIsney site and all there seems to be is a general feedback form.

Thanks!

I will PM you with information. Anyone else, just PM me, and I will give you the info.

Thanks Tyler! I was posting as the other posts came in I guess, sorry if we're being pests!

[Chip 'n Dale Express]

Not at all. These buses are valuable resources, so I can understand ones frustration with not having them anymore. So, if there's a way to help get them back, as a guest who uses Disney Transport when I stay on property, I'm all for it.

UGH!!!! I have a 8:10 CRT, an 8:00 CP, and an 8:00 Donald's Breakfast...all on non EMH days, so we NEED that bus 3 times!!!
