Summer Monorail Schedule

[capegirl]

Can I assume that the present resort monorail schedule will likely remain the same throughout the summer?
(Resort Beam Overnight Closures: 12:00 AM - 8:30 AM Mondays, 12:00 AM - 8:30 AM Tuesdays)
Concerned because we have an 8:05 am ADR @ BOG on a Tuesday in July when MK has a 9am opening. I did not think about this when I booked.From what I've read, guests with ADRs will be allowed into the MK @ 7:45 am, that said the monorail is out for us. Does anyone know what time the first resort launch departs at the Poly, or the ferry from the TTC ? We have a group of 10, including 4 littles that would need car sears, so taking Uber/taxi to CTR may be troublesome.
We will have vehicles with us, and I thought about using the valet
at CTR, but not sure if they will allow this in July without an ADR;
I know they have always checked our ADRs when we have driven to the Poly. Has anyone been in this situation? I'm thinking I may have to cancel BOG.

Valet will be allowed but not needed and from Poly I would not use it.

They will have some transportation option available. Think of all the guests that drive to TTC for early arrivals! Don't worry about it. You can call from your room the night before if needed of you haven't figured it out yet.

There will be lots of people with all sorts of 8:00 adrs and other reservations coming from all different places. So you can absolutely guarantee they will have at least one mode of transportation for you (including busses as a possibility).

Thank you for your words of encouragement, I feel much better knowing we won't be left high and dry. I would have been sad if I had to cancel BOG.

When I was at the Wilderness Lodge in January, the boat to the Contemporary started at 6:45am. I can't imagine there wouldn't be something similar at a flagship resort like the Poly!

One sight has the monorail closures slated to end in April. I find this doubtful but there will be a way to get there boats are highly likely and buses for sure will be available. I am in a similar situation for a May BBB reservation

I agree that it is unlikely the monorail schedule will resume normal operating hours by April. I am still reading reports about frequent monorail delays; I think it's running on life support. I confess I'm still a bit concerned about making it to the MK in time for our PPO @ BOG. I'm hoping they will provide a bus to MK because the resort boats are not very big, and they're not very fast either. Not to mention there will be a new security procedure at the monorail resorts that could cause delays. I know I'm overthinking this, but we have a large group and I really don't want a transportation snafu to mess up our plans.
