Transportation from Coronado Springs to Contemporary resort by 8:00 am? Help!

[hbr930]

Hello! We are staying at Coronado & made breakfast reservations at Chef Mickey's for 8:00 am. I just read that the best way to go is to take a bus to MK & then the monorail to Contemporary, however, the buses don't begin operating until 45 minutes before park opening! The park isn't set to open until 9:00, so there would be no way to get there in time. Is there ANY other way to get there? We won't have a car so we will have to cancel our reservations if this is the only way to go. Thanks for any input you may have

There are earlier buses for 8:00AM ADRs. Your first bus from CSR will be at about 6:30AM. Bus to MK on the first bus, walk 10 minutes to Contemporary.

If you don't like the idea of the 6:30AM bus, use Uber.

I 2nd the uber. I used Uber to get from CSR to AKL my last trip and I think it was about $8.

If you choose to use Disney transportation, be out at the MK bus stop no later than 6:45. When you get to the MK, walk to the CR...takes under 10 mins to walk. Head towards the MK, with the other people. When you het to the end of the bus area, people will go left, towards the park entrance. You need to stay to the right, and walk beneath the monorail rails. This will put the park on your left, the bus area to your right. Cross the street, at the light, and you're at the CR. Go in, go up to the restaurant.
If you don't want to start out that early, take a cab....around 7:30ish.

The information that buses start running 45 - 60 minutes before park opening is simply incorrect. Others have given you great options to make your ADR

We stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge and had reservations at Cinderellas Royal table at 8:00 a.m. We spoke with the concierge and they gave us a pre paid voucher for the taxi fare.

Disney starts the buses early for ADRs/Tours.

"First bus times" vary a little from day to day,but they are "usually" between 6:30 AM and 7:00 AM.

Here are "first bus times" on one of my days at All-Star Sports during my last trip(The 6:09 AM MK bus that day was very unusual-it's usually much closer to 6:30 AM).
