Transportation to Cindys/early buses to MK?

[AZKathy]

We have an 8:05 PS for Cindys and MK does not open til 9:00am. We won't have a rental car. Do the buses for MK run at 7:00am? Or should we get a taxi just to make sure we get there on time? I am leaning to taxi just to make sure especially since I had to get up before 4 am to make this PS!!!! What do you all know about early bus transportation?

that if you ask the front desk ahead of time they can get a bus to pick yopu up, if not I would think that you can have them get you a taxi

we are also faced with this delima, we have 8:20 cindy's and no rental... would like to hear other's opinions?

There are early busses. We caught one around 7:45 for our 8:15 reservation. We got to MK around 8:00 but they weren't admitting people into the park yet. They took the names of people who were there for breakfast at Cindy's or Crystal Palace and verified that we did in fact have reservations and had us all line up and they began letting us in around 8:10 or so. Don't worry if you are a bit late - everyone else is too. It's not like someone else will get your table since there aren't any people in the park yet.

The early buses start running at 7:00 a.m. They are marked "Character Breakfast".

do they also start running at 7:00?

My family and brother-in-laws family have an 8.25 PS at Cindy's for the 8 of us. We are staying at WL and they will be at FW.

Is the early boat (if one exists) the best way from both of these locations?

If for some reason you DO end up taking a taxi, ask the driver to drop you at the Contemporary. Believe you can ask to be dropped near the start of the path to the MK from the CR. Then you can get to the MK entrance via a short (5-10 minute) walk.

IIRC, taxis cannot drop you off near the MK - they have to drop you at the TTC which IMHO, really defeats the purpose of taking the taxi in the first place.

Sounds like there will be an early bus for you, though. Hope so, as that would be the BEST option. Congrats on getting the PS!

No, sorry. The first boats to MK are at 8:30. Your relatives should catch a bus at Settlement Depot headed for the TTC. That bus will stop at WL and you will all be together. You could continue on that bus to the TTC, then transfer to the monorail. Or you could catch one of the Character Breakfast buses directly to MK. Check with your front desk about the timing of the breakfast buses.
