What Time Do Animal Kingdom busses to the Other Parks Start Operating?

[disneykittin]

I'm staying in an off-property hotel that's really close to Animal Kingdom.. so I want to take a cab to AK and catch a bus to the other parks to save $. But I'm hoping that I can do this and still make it to the other parks by opening time! Does anyone know what time the Disney busses start operating from Animal Kingdom to the other parks? The first day I'm there, Magic Kingdom opens at 8am, will I be able to make it? How about by 9am for the other parks? Thanks!!

If you are close to AK then drive time you are closer to All Star Sports (as the road goes, not the crow). I would have a cab drop you off there as buses to the parks start about 6:40-6:45.

If the park you are going to is Hollywood Studios, I would have the cab take you there...I can't imagine that would be much more than a ride to All Stars.

Thanks so much! I just now finally saw your reply because I couldn't find this thread again after posting it! Do you happen to know how often the buses leave from All Star Sports? Thanks again!

If you are going to be taking a cab, I would just take a cab to AKL, and get the bus to a park from there. If you're that close to AK, AKL is even closer to you. If you have a car, and then want to park at AKL, and head to the parks via the AKL buses, then no, that's really not good. But, if you are getting dropped off in a cab, why not???
The buses start running from the resorts to the parks, by 6:30am. When it comes to be about an hour prior to park opening, the buses start running every 15 mins or so.

I have stayed at hotels near Sherberth road and agree that the quickest/cheapest approach would be to go to AKL and then take the bus to the park of your choice.

The AKL busses will be running in plenty of time to get you to the park you want in time for rope drop.
