As the 2 others shared above, it takes longer than many realize. Personally, if I wanted to be at BoG for 10:30 I would arrive at the MK parking booths at 9:00 at the very latest. You may end up with extra time on your hands or it may take all of that time to get there. Arriving at that time is prime arrival time for both onsite and offsite guests.
Generally yes but it's not always exact. DHS appears to open more than an hour before ETPE....some days.
Yes, most of these would work for sure. The only one that doesn't work I crossed out as you cannot take a bus from DS to any park.
Ah yes...see I knew that but had forgotten! It's been far too long since my last visit after going every year for several years! Thank you!
Walk to Magic Kingdom and take a boat from there. I don't think the direct boats from the Contemporary ("Blue Flag Launch") are running at this time.
OK, IF I have to walk that far, I will need an ECV. Will the boat handle it?
I suppose you could take the monorail to Magic Kingdom to shorten the walk. I'm pretty sure those boats will accommodate an ECV, but I'm not certain.
OK, I will ask at the desk before we set out. I will have a walker with me as well, so if we set out early enough, I could walk.
Yes, the boat from MK to Ft. Wilderness can handle an ECV. Sometimes they have two different styles of boats running, one of which can take an ECV and the other can't, but I think they mostly use the one that can accommodate ECVs, especially at times when they expect a lot of guests traveling to FW for the Hoop Dee Doo. In any case, I'd leave CR early - if you get to FW early, you can get a drink at Crockett's Tavern and sit under the trees!
Thanks a lot!
We’ve nothing to do that day before except to get to MK Guest services to activate the AP’s, and want to do that very early in AM.
A direct bus.
I would say the boat, because it goes directly to MK. I believe there's a bus as well, but I'm not sure that it goes directly to MK as opposed to sharing with an additional resort. In any case, be at the dock/station around 90 minutes before Early Entry starts, if you want to be near the front of the rope drop crowds!
I imagine the bus would get you there earlier. I believe buses start running before boats in the morning, at at rope drop, they should not be sharing buses with other resorts.
