Will I make it to my early ADR from CBR?

[iminla]

We are staying at CBR - if I get a breakfast ADR at 8:10 AM for Tusker House in AK - how will I get there? DO buses run that early in the morning? AK opens at 9 AM that day. Please HELP.

I had an 8:20am ADR last year (staying at CBR). We made it with no problem. Just get to your bus stop 7:00-7:15am and you'll be fine. Buses run that early, just for the purpose of pre-opening ADRs.

It was great. We love CBR. It is such a beautiful resort. I also think the food court is underrated. There's lots of variety and everything is very good (I particularly liked the roasted pork dinner). The main pool is terrific, good size with 2 slides plus a zero-entry if you have a little one. Just try to find some time to relax on the beach (or on Caribbean Cay) in a hammock or in one of the hot tubs. It's such a peaceful and relaxing resort, which is great with the hectic-ness that goes with a WDW trip. That will probably be difficult being it's your first visit as you'll be trying to get in as much as you can. Buses are fine - especially getting to the parks. Coming back can be an issue if you leave a park at closing (particularly MK after Wishes). If you are leaving at that time, take your time, hang back and browse the shops, grab a snack, etc. Otherwise, you'll be standing in a queue at the bus stop a while.

Thank you so much.

How late do buses run after park closing??? I am afraid that i miss the bus (specially if I start browsing in the shops))

Also, any suggestions for breakfast??? we are not big breakfast eaters so something quick will do.

we also have free dining ( 1 snack, 1 CS and 1 TS) - i have already booked all my TS meals.

Buses run for probably almost 2 hours after closing time. As long as there are still people waiting for buses, they will send a bus.

For breakfast, the food court has pretty much anything you'd want - from large breakfast platters to just some fruit or a muffin/bagel/danish at the grab-and-go section. If you're not big breakfast eaters, you can order some stuff in advance from gardengrocer.com and eat in your room (you will have a small fridge). I don't know if you plan on using your CS credtis for lunches and TS credits for dinner, but many consider it a waste to use your CS credits for breakfast, which is inexpensive to begin with.

When we use the DDP we use our snack credits for breakfast. I also don't eat a big breakfast so I get a muffin or pastry with my snack credit. We love CBR! It is a great resort.
