Question on POP to HS to Rope Drop RotR? - Second Try

[BrianL]

So, I posted this earlier, but somehow I posted to the Aulani board. They are pretty nice over there though and told me all kinds of ways to get from Orlando to Hawaii! Anyway....

This has probably been asked, but we are at POP so would normally take the Skyliner to HS. My worry is that it won't be operating early enough. Are there still buses to HS early - willing to do this super early. I know there is a 30 minute early entry too, so I want to consider that as well. Any thoughts or experience? Thanks.

Skyliner is faster than bus.

We stayed at Caribbean Beach (which, granted, is better for the Skyliner than POP), and we were routinely sailing over a line of cars and buses that were stopped at the DHS turnstiles, not allowed to even enter the parking lot.

Skyliner is running from Pop to DHS with lots of time to arrive in time for early entry. Skyliner normally begins running an hour before Early Entry hours but you will want to arrive in time to line up if you want to be there right when it starts running.

Also, buses only run from Pop to DHS when the Skyliner is closed due to inclement weather. Buses do run from AoA but I agree with @CaptainAmerica that the Skyliner is a better option.

Thank you. When I was tehre in May, the Skyliner didn't really start that early and we were far from the front of he Rope Drop pack. An hour before early entry is MUCH earlier than it was before, and hopefully that is enough.
