How do you get to the Magic Kindom by 7:30am?
(We're staying at Caribbean Beach.)
How much walking is involved?
Is there any time to sit and rest?
Can you use an ECV on this tour?
What time does the tour get over?
In your opinion, was it worth it?

Any other information would also be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,

If you have a car, you park at CR and walk over. If you don't have a car, take a cab. When we took the tour in May, just about everybody who took WDW transportation was about 10 minutes late. The tour had already started.

Actually, not much walking. You are on the train most of the time.

Not sure how Disney handles ECVs on this tour. Part of the tour is climbing up in the engine cab.

If I remeber right, the tour ended before 10.

ADDENDUM, my DW has just told me that the tour has recently changed and it is now an hour longer with a breakfast included.

And yes it was worth it.

I would have like to have taken the tour when they were giving out the RR spikes. That would have been a great memory.

If you do take a cab, make sure it takes you to CR, NOT the TTC.

My parents took this tour in December 2001. They were at Caribbean Resort. The front desk recommended they take a taxi to get there on time. They really enjoyed the tour.
