What time are the first busses leaving the resorts these days?

What time are the busses dropping people off these days if they are the first bus to leave a resort? I'm most interested in the bus leaving the YC for MK in the morning. Does the bus drop you off by 8:30 for a 9:00 opening?

In general, the first buses are leaving the resorts starting about 45 minutes prior to official park opening time. Sometimes a bit earlier as some buses hit the roads earlier than others, or they have shorter routes. This morning, for example, the first MK bus left All Stars at 8:10 for a 9:00 park opening. The first buses will indeed get you to the park before opening time.

You don't gain much by getting to MK earlier anyway, since Main Street is no longer open early for shoppers. They start letting people through the turnstiles at about 8:45 for a 9:00 rope drop at the hub in front of Cindy's castle. In the weeks to come, during peak holiday season, they may open the turnstiles a little earlier to avoid crowding in the plaza in front of the turnstiles.

Thanks for the information. This is quite a change and will take me a while to get used to.

Just there 11/10-11/14. We took one of the busses at 7:45am from PO-R that was marked "character breakfast", even though we did not have PS ressies. We got thru the security tables and were first in line at the turnstile that morning just after 8:00am. We figured we'd rather wait there than hanging around waiting for the bus at the hotel. They didn't let the turnstiles open until just 9:00 and then everything was open-no waiting for a rope drop.

This is the one park I really missed having EE.
