Hi luisalejandvo_ve
I've never stayed at Coronado Springs, but have stayed at OKW & AKL. I believe the busses start running 1-2 hours prior to a parks opening and stop running about 2 hours after a parks closing. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.
Busses should run about every 15-20 minutes, sometimes it seems they go more frequent than other times.
I would suggest for you to take a bus to the MK and then take the monorail to the Contemporary. I'm not sure how many stops the bus makes between Coronado Springs and the MK, but give yourself about 20-30 minutes to get there. (The Passporter Book says its a 15 minute ride to MK from Coronado Springs)
My experience with PS's this last summer was even if we were running late, we still got seated within 5 minutes of when we arrived.
I hope this is of some help to you. Have a Magical Vacation

Over on the transportation board I was told that bus start times are:To MK and MK resort area 6.30 am
DAK and AKL 7.00-7.15am
MGM 7.00-7.15am
Epcot 7.00-7.15am


I have definately got buses around 7.15/7.30 as these are the buses I have used for early entry.

When going to Chef Mickeys you can get the bus to MK and then you can just walk across...its not far. I would still be waiting at the bus stop 45 minutes before you want to be somewhere. (Wise advice from Tyler)

Do you know how late MK will be open on the day you are going to CM?

If the MK is already closed, you would have to take a bus to Epcot and then a bus to CR. I would give myself at least an hour to do this.
