When should we be at the bus stop saturday

[stitchfan18]

Saturday is the only day we are planning to use the WDW buses to get to a park since we aren't doing AK and are staying at the BWV. We want to be at MK before the park opens (8:30ish maybe) so we can be one of the first in line. What time should we be at the bus stop to get to MK? I've never stayed at the BW, so i'm not sure how crowded it gets in the morning, hopefully someone on here knows and can give us some advice! TIA

Well the buses start at 6:30 AM, so if you want to be there right away that would be your best bet. Of course that's if you don't mind waiting at the entrance gates.

Usually, the buses in the morning go directly from the BWV to the MK. Sometimes they stop at the Swan & Dolphin first. I think it depends on how busy it is.

Either way, if you are at the bus stop by 7:30 am, you should not have a problem getting to the MK by 8:30 am. In fact, most times you'll get there sooner than that.

Enjoy the BWV - it's our favorite resort.

The bus will go directly to MK if it has already been to the S/D, otherwise, it will stop there before heading to MK. If you get to MK at 8:30, you aren't going to be 'first in line'. You will be surprised to see how many others are there before you.
If I wanted to get to MK very early, in order to be among the first to enter the park, I would be out at the bus stop by 7:30, at the latest.

Just wanted to toss out one BIG caveat if we are talking about THIS Saturday...

Saturday morning is the running of the Walt Disney World Half Marathon, so there will be all sorts of road closings, alternate routings, etc, etc... especially to MK. I would recommend to allow lots of extra time.

Also, during these closures, your bus will drop off at the TTC, not the main Magic Kingdom entrance.

Hope that helps!
