Off-site hotel help please now that EE will be gone

Just checked my screenshot from Candy Cane and the first shuttle is listed at 7:30 a.m. We usually skip the shuttle in the morning and just walk since it's close and our legs aren't tired yet lol. But we've definitely taken advantage of catching the shuttle when going back at the end of a long day.

Thanks, that may be what I was thinking of since we've stayed at the Candy Cane before. A 7:30 shuttle definitely will not get you there in time to be at the front of the line even for regular entry, let alone early entry. We've walked from there in the mornings, as well as from the Sheraton Park.

I stayed with a friend at the Anaheim Majestic. It was good, but I found it dated and very tired. The room was large, it had the basic amenities, so no complaints about that, but it just didn't do it for me. It was very dated and worn. And I'd much rather stay across the street than have to take their bus which was often pretty full when we were there. The bus is free but there is a tip jar prominently displayed and I'm not one to ignore that.

How long did you have to wait for another shuttle when one was full?

How long did you have to wait for another shuttle when one was full?

If I remember right, the bus came every half hour. I'm not sure what happens if the bus is full--would you have to wait for the next one or do they have another? We never had to find out.
