Staying offsite and getting to MK for early ADR

[chris1212]

We have a PPO ADR for BOG and are staying off site. When we park at the TTC how do we get to MK since I have read the park monorail and ferry will not be running yet? We would like to be at the park gates for around 7.45am, for this to happen what time should we be parking at the TTC? Thanks so much!

The resort monorail starts running at 7:00. I would be in the parking lot by 7:00.

Went in October for pre-opening ADR. When we got to the resort monorail, they had CMs in front of it (chained) as well as the regular monorail. No one was being allowed to board. They sent us back to the bus area where they had buses taking everyone over to the Magic Kingdom. It actually was very fast (direct to MK with no stops) and easy and we ended up using the bus to TTC a few nights at closing too. We literally got right on the bus while the monorail and ferry lines were huge.

Do not count on the monorail running that early... We just returned from a 10 day stay at the Grand Floridian. There were several days neither the resort or express monorail were running until after 8:30. They're working on it.

OP: they should have busses running from the TTC that early if the monorail is not running. If your ADR is on a Saturday or Sunday, I bet the monorail is running. It ran early both weekends we were there. The abbreviated schedule was during the week. I'd arrive at the TTC by 7:15.

There are always buses available if the monorail is down.

Thanks! Our ADR is tomorrow morning at 8am and the park opens at 9am. If resort monorail is running how long does it take to get to MK? Can we bring a stroller on the bus if it's the only thing running that early?

Strollers have to be collapsed to go on buses.

Oh for sure, just wanted to make sure there was a spot to store them.

You'll have to hold onto it, there's no place to store strollers on the bus.

Yes, I know. My point is that OP shouldn't count on the monorails running at that time since Disney is currently trying to synchronize them, or whatever they're working on.

Update... We were at the TTC about 7.15am this morning. Monorails were closed but we were directed to the ferry which departed a few minutes after we boarded. There were probably no more than 10-15 people on the ferry. It was nice not being packed in!
