Shuttle service times + 9am reservation at CRT

[1craftymama]

Hello! We are taking our first family trip to WDW and I have a couple of quick questions. We are staying at the hotel Royal Plaza (got a Mousesaver rate) next Thursday and Friday. We are spending one day at MK and I booked and paid for a 9:05 breakfast reservation at Cinderella's Royal Table. If we take the shuttle service provided by the hotel, will we get there in plenty of time to make our reservation? I also purchased our tickets online so I received debit looking cards. Can I turn those in for tickets at the character dining line? Or do I need to go to a separate line for that? I am worried we won't make our reservation and am considering driving to MK from the hotel and using the monorail or ferry boat. But since I am paying the resort fees that include shuttle service I would like to take advantage of that and save gas. I am also bringing my own stroller and I hope it fits on the shuttle bus. I may have dh hold it while I hold the kids (5 and 2) on my lap for the ride to and from the park. Thanks so much!

For an early reservation, and since you have a car, I would use your car.

In your situation there is no way I'd try the shuttle because too much could go wrong. The possibilities would cause me too much stress, lol.

Thanks. I am starting to get panicky thinking we will miss our reservations and end up losing our money. This is a surprise for our dd who is into princesses! I am now leaning toward driving to the TTC and catching the monorail. I also found out that the day we are there has EMH in a.m.
