Park to Park Buses

[Delirium]

What time do the Park to Park Buses begin running each day? As an example, we have AK Fastpasses booked one morning and would want to arrive there no later than 9:30 or so. Disney recently changed MK hours that day so that it opens at 7:00 for EMH. If we wanted to hit MK and take advantage of the 7:00-9:00 time there, would we be able to get a direct bus from MK to AK that early?

Yup.

If there is no bus within 10 minutes of you arriving at the terminal, locate
a bus supervisor in the area and tell him your destination.

Sorry but that information is simply inaccurate.

That "one hour before..." statement has become an often-repeated "Disney legend."
The Disney website has posted it (in error) for years.

The buses begin every day shortly after 6AM (and on some days, even earlier.)

yes the people that do tours or have ADR that start an hour before park opening use disney busses to get to the parks I think instead of running ever 20 minute they run ever 30 so if you need to be some where early it is best to check at the hotel the night before and see when the first buss will start to and then get there before this time.

wif you need to be some where early it is best to check at the hotel the night before and see when the first buss will start to and then get there before this time.

Do not do this. Hotel CMs rarely know anything about transportation. If you ask them, you will likely either get the "1 hour before the park opens" line, or something the CM has made up entirely.

yah I should have said some thing like this I have never trusted the hotel staff although I have heard form some guest that they were right about when the first bus comes I think most busses start to run at 6;30 and if you have any reservation before 8 I would just drive or take a taxi to where ever so you do not have to worry
