What time boat leave for Magic Kingdom

[madjohn]

I am sure this has been asked a million times.

How long before opening of the magic kingdom do the boats start to leave the fort? I am one who is in line 30/45 minutes prior to rope drop and want to figure the best way of getting there.

Thanks

The boat to the MK starts running 30 minutes prior to MK opening. There is another boat that runs much earlier and travels to the contemporary and Wilderness lodge. We took it to get to be our guest at 8 am. We walked over from the Contemporary. It takes 10-15 minutes to walk from there. We were on a boat a little after 7. There is supposed to be a bus that goes between the lodge and the fort and then to the MK but I have no experience with that. We always took the boat.

Boat from Fort Wilderness to Contemporary starts at 0645. When you get there it's about a 10 minute walk to MK.
