Random questions for upcoming trip

[gracelrm]

We will be at WDW 12/19-12/23 and I have a couple of unrelated questions.

1. Staying at BCV. On Sunday 12/20, how early would you leave your room to make it to Rope Drop at MK at 7:00 a.m. if traveling by bus?

2. What time are the Galactic Fireworks at HS?

3. I changed a ADR through the WDW Dine phone number. It is still showing up on MDE as the original time. I called back and double checked and they said it is for the new time, but even after two days, it is still shows the original time on MDE. Should I be worried?

TIA

Sounds fun! I'm not sure about question #2, but for #1 I would say ask what time the first bus leaves and get on it. Usually it's an hour before the park opens, so be in line a little before 6. Often during the busy seasons they will open the park gates before the posted time to alleviate the big rush, so you might get lucky! As for #3, I had the same thing happen and it was fine. Call back in a couple of days and ask again; if it's right in their computer, you're fine. The hotel will also have a list of your ADR's, so double check there when you check in.

I always get a rental but I'm pretty sure the first bus starts running 45 minutes before the posted parks opening time .

Buses normally start running at 6:30am every day, but with a 7:00am opening they should start at 6:00am, or maybe a bit earlier.

From checking Disney's World website, Symphony in the Sky is at 11 PM for those dates.

If you see us wave, we are there from 12/17 to 12/22.
We are going to MK on 12/20 also I plan to be at bus stop at 6:00 AM
We hope to watch the HS fireworks on 12/18 along the path to HS instead of heading all the way to the park.

We will also be there that week, and headed to MK at the same time for CP brft at 7:05 - will be at the POP bus stop at 6 as well - I was also wondering about #1, as I know the buses usually start at 6:30, but figured with 7:00am opening, they'd be earlier. I will keep trying to move the ADR to late brft now that it is not PPO, and even if we get in a little early, it will still be dark! I'm kinda bummed about the 11:00 fireworks added to HS because we like to go do Osbourne Lights at end of night and stay after closing to enjoy the quiet time, and I'm afraid that won't happen now, with people staying for fireworks. Also, after flying at 5:30 am and heading to HS, and having to be at the bus stop at 6:00 am the next morning, I was hoping have an earlier nt since HS was supposed to close earlier - I think we will have to skip out before fireworks so we can get some sleep!

Shew - 11:00 is late. I was hoping for 9:30 or 10:00

We boarded an MK bus from AKL on Tuesday at 7:30 for a 9:00 opening.
