PPO ADR - can I get a resort bus?

[TinkSassy]

We haven't done this before are buses running or will we need to Minnie Van?

Buses start every morning about 6:30am

Not a problem...as noted above, the buses start running by 6:30. BUT...be aware that they don't run as frequently as the regular buses. An hour prior to park opening, they start running every 15-20 mins. But between 6:30 and that hour prior to opening, it can be close to every 30 mins!!! So, plan accordingly.

You can special request a bus if one doesn't show up. We did this at Pop last year to get a bus to Epcot for our Garden Grill breakfast.

We used Uber for our PPO breakfasts last week, just so we wouldn't have to be up as early. Cheaper than Minnie Vans if you don't need all the car seats.

The buses will be running but you need to leave plenty of time for the bus.

You basically beg! We had to do that when leaving because we were going to miss MDE back to the airport. We were at HS and had been waiting for 25 minutes for a bus to OKW. We talked to one of the CMs in a vest that we had been waiting and were worried about missing the bus. He checked when one was coming, then went and got a van and took us himself! It was so nice of him!

That’s seriously so awesome!! I love hearing stories about Disney going above and beyond

We went to the counter where you pick up tickets and request help (the name escapes me) and told them we had an early breakfast and needed a bus to Epcot and had not seen one in the 20 minutes we had been out there but had seen several for AK and MK. They called or radioed for one and it came within 10 minutes. We got to Epcot and in line 5 minutes before they started letting people in for PPO meals. There were about 5 or 6 other families waiting as well.
