Transportation to chartacter meals and dinner shows from resort?

[frannn]

I have a few questions about WDW transport in Sept, during free dining.
What time do the buses start running fom AS Movies to MK (non EMH day, bkfast at Chef Mickey's)? Walk from MK to CM?
Will we be able to take a boat from MK to the 7:15 HDD on a MK night when they will have Night of Joy?
Will there be a bus directly to AS Movies after the 7:15 HDD?
What time do we have to check in for the 8pm Aloha dinner show? I know for MBBQ you have to get there really early since there's no assigned seats, but for HDD you have an assigned table. How does it work for Aloha? Can we just park at the Poly?
Thanks!

Buses start running from the resorts to the MK at about 6:30 am. Just give yourself plenty of travel time as the buses do not run as frequently that early in am. From the MK it is about a 15-20 minute walk to the CR and Chef Mickey's.
During the Nighst of Joy the buses etc will be running just like they do for the other late night parties. Transportation to the HDDR from the MK is the best way to go, just take the boat over to FW and its a quick walk over to the hall. Our experience has been that after the 7:15 show as long as the MK is open the best way is to boat back to the MK and take the bus back to the resort. After the last show there have been buses that go back to the resorts.
I can't help you with the time to get to the Aloha dinner show, when we went there years ago you had to be there about 1/2 hour early and we had assigned seats, but this was about 4 or 5 years ago so I am not sure what is done now. But yes, you can park at the Poly and go to the dinner.
