What Time do Monorail Resorts Service Start?

[PortieOwner]

What time does the monorail or ferry service to the MK begin in the morning? Do both modes run or am I better off with either the monorail or the ferry? I am especially concerned about early entry mornings when I need to be at the MK entrance by 745am.

Monorail service at the Contemporary Polynesian & Grand Floridian starts at 7:00 AM. If your staying at the Contemporary there is a walkway to the Magic Kingdom which can get you there in 10 minutes, in fact I think it's even faster then the Monorail. Of course if your staying at the Polynesian or Grand Floridian then there is no walkway to the Magic Kingdom. So as long as your up before 7:00 AM you should have no problem being there for 7:45 AM.

If you are staying on site (non monorail resorts) there are early morning busses. the busses for the MK area start before 6:30AM.

Since you asked what time does the Magic Kingdom Resort Monorail start running, which Magic Kingdom Resort on the Monorail line are you staying at? The Contemporary, Polynesian or Grand Floridian?

The OP didn't mention the Resort Monorail line...just the monorail and the ferry to get to MK. I'm assuming that they are planning on driving there and then taking either one of those two options to MK. However, if the OP is at an on-site resort, the bus is the much better choice. The buses drop you off very close to the gates to MK. If you go to the TTC and park there, you will have much more walking and waiting.
The Resort line does start running at 7:00 am, the main express line and the ferry start about 30 minutes or so before park opening, if I remember correctly.

Nope, I will be having a late breakfast at each of the monorail resorts. Last time I took the bus to MK, then left the MK in time for the meal and took the monorail to the CR or GF. But after the meal getting back to CSR was difficult because of poor connections from GF/CR back to our hotel (took over an hour in one instance). This time I hope to valet park at GF/CR/Poly, take the monorail to the park for a couple of hours, and return to breakfast and then leave.
