What time bus for rope drop?

[MJ6987]

Hi,
Following on from my previous qustion re buses...

We are staying at Port Orleans Riverside in October - with no car. The Unofficial Guide touring plans suggest getting to the parks 50 minutes prior to Park opening (i.e. 8:10 in October as Parks open at 9am).

Roughly what time should we be at the bus stop in Port Orleans to achieve that? I was thinking perhaps 7:30am?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Matthew

That would work...or you can get to the bus stop a bit later, say 7:45ish. It should take about 15 mins on the bus, once it comes, to get to MK. You will find a ton of other guests there as well, all waiting for rope drop. You should be allowed past the turnstiles to watch the opening show, then at 9 allowed beneath the railroad bridge and into the park itself.

Thanks again. Yeah, we have been once before but had a car last time so trying the buses this time. My aim is to be amongst the first to ride one of the main rides each day. Only managed to be the very first rider once last time - me and my mum on Splash! First on TSM is my ambition!

Well...if being first on the rides is your goal, I would leave even sooner. There is always a huge crowd at the parks by 45 mins before opening.
