Minnie Van Question

[Rambler5678]

We are staying at the Wilderness Lodge and have a 8:20 am dining reservation at the Crystal Palace. What is the best way to get to the MK no later than 7:30?

Try booking a Minnie Van for around 6:45…

Pricing varies based on distance, roughly near $40 plus additional miles.

I think you’re overthinking this. Why not just boat or bus? WL offers both options to MK. General rule of thumb is to be at the transport 90 mins before early opening and you’ll be on the first transport there, they start around an hour-ish before early entry. Eating a $40 fee for a MV is a tough sell when you’re staying at WL it’s 2 good MK transport options.

The park opens to all guests at the same time and Disney transportation will begin running in time to get you there for ETPE. I would recommend arriving at your transportation 90 mins before the ETPE hours begin and you will arrive in time for your dining reservation.

Just take the first boat over to MK. No need for a Minnie Van or other methods.

Does anyone know what time the boat starts from Wilderness lodge to the Magic Kingdom?

Like all WDW resort transportation, it starts running approximately 1 hour before posted Early Entry opening time. Recommendation is to be at the dock 90 minutes before EE opening time if you want to be on the first boat.

Someone last week had similar question on a different thread and updated to say they were on the boat at 7:20 or so for an 8:30 opening.

The posted time is 1 hour before park opening, but in my experience, it starts about 15 minutes before that. So if early entry is 8:30 and regular park opening is 9, the boat starts around 7:15.
