Park at MK vs Park at BCV and bus for RD?

[Kazi7]

DH and I check into BCV on a Friday. The following Monday we will go to MK with our family (6 adults/6 kids) who are driving in that morning to meet us. They are also staying at BCV starting on Monday. MK early entry is 8:30. Crowd level 7. We don't need to be super early, just inside the park around 8:15. Should I have them meet us in the parking lot at BCV and all take the bus together? Or should they just drive straight to MK and we will meet them at MK? Their drive to MK or to BCV are both around 1hr 15min. I know parking at MK can be a hassle but I have never done it, so I'm not very familiar with it. They will have multiple strollers to fold up for both the parking lot tram or the bus.

I say easier to have them park at BCV and go from there.

if they park at MK , you have to walk/tram to TTC and then take ferry boat or monorail over to MK . If they park at BCV, then have to wait for bus. The security gets pretty crowded plus they hold people at the tap styles until around 8 am.

Either way, they are going to have to get up pretty early in the morning to be inside by 815

I’d also think about leaving too… if they park at TTC they’ll need to cross 7 Seas Lagoon again and possibly take a tram again too.

Yes, they are painfully aware how early they have to get up! I'm trying to make everything as smooth as possible once they get down to WDW but it will be challenging either way. I'm leaning toward having them come to BCV so we can all enter MK together. I think it would be nice to walk to the bus stop with tired kids to leave as opposed to getting back to the cars.

I'd just have them take the bus, so they dont have to deal with getting back to their car and driving back when your done.

Yes that’s what I was thinking…

What’s preferred for the end of the day too.
