Transportation Questions for the experts

[nikandboys]

We are traveling to WDW on Sept 29 and I am trying to make everything as smooth as possible (traveling with a strong willed 4 year old and a strong willed 68 yr old )

1. How long does it take to get to CHef mickeys for breakfast from CBR - I know in the mornings sometimes you can get a direct bus?

2 If I have ADR for 8:00 at AK, what time should we leave?

3. Our flight home is at 1:50 pm. What time will Disney say we need to board the Magical express?

Thanks for the help.

#1, you can get a direct bus to the MK and then take a monorail over to the Contemporary, which is where CM is. I'd say 30 minutes at the least. Always build in some time. #2, again 30 minutes tops. #3, most airlines want you at the airport a good 60-90 minutes prior to boarding, then you figure in the hour it takes to get to the airport...that will give you a window to go from. You should have more specific information either on your contract or in your confirmation. Who knows what extra security at the airport will be in play by your trip date . Figure on your last day being a travel day with no park visit.

1&2 The rule of thumb according to Tyler (Chip 'n Dale Express - ex WDW bus driver, moderator on this board) is to be at the bus stop 45 minutes before your ADR.

20 minute wait for the bus (max)
15 minute ride to the park
10 minute get through security, gate, and walk to the restaurant

For CM, tell the driver you are going to CM. He may be able to drop you off right at the CR.

For ME, the pickup time is usually 3 hours before your flight. (It may even be more now with the higher alert.)
