WL to MK before Park Opening

[JohnneyB]

Question for anyone in the know: What is the best way to get from the Wilderness Lodge to the Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom before the park opens? We have an 8 A.M. Priority Seating, and the park doesn't open until 9 A.M. It is my understanding that the boats don't start running until 8:30.

If anyone has any ideas, I would be very appreciative. Thanks!

How about the boat to CR and then the monorail to MK.

I was in the same situation during my trip in Feb. Guest services at WL told me that I had to take the bus to the TTC and then connect to the resort monorail to get to the MK for our 8:15 PS at CP (MK also opened at 9AM that morning). I believe we were at the bus stop by 7:30, and just made it, so I'd suggest you get to the bus stop by 7:15.

Lori is right... the bus to the TTC, then the Resort Monorail is the best bet.

Don' they still have the breakfast buses that run and take you before the parks open? We did this at the WL before. We found out from the front deck what time to be out front and then a bus came and picked us up and dropped us off for our character breakfast.

They do... however, I don't beleive there will be a Magic Kingdom area bus at the WL. The Character Breakfast buses at WL will be able to take you to the Epcot/Studios area, as well as the Animal Kingdom area.

I just checked my itinerary from May 2002 when I stayed at the WL. You are right in that it wasn't to MK. We caught the bus to Donalds breakfastsaurus in AK.
