BOG 8:15am ADR on May 4th question

[JohnByers]

Ok, this is a question for my DW and her best friend. They are spending a week there at CBR and have this BOG ADR to get in to see the park before it opens and to try out BOG breakfast. I was always under the assumption that resort buses didn't start till 7:30 and she is afraid she won't be at MK in enough time for her ADR. Am I crazy or are the buses running earlier than this?

Have her ask physically at the resort, since it changes from resort to resort and often day to day. I had a similar situation with the boats not running at Fort Wilderness last trip and they arranged transportation.

We had an 8:15 a.m. BOG last month. We were at the Pop bus stop at 7:20, but the MK bus did not arrive until 7:40. We still made it through bag check, turnstile and the walk down Main Street to BOG with time to spare.

Thanks!

Before the scheduled park-specific buses start running, there are special "Character Breakfast" buses that run. They're not on set routes, but rather you get on, tell the driver where you're going, and they get you there. They start by 7am, often earlier than that. As @CaptainAmerica said, check with your resort's front desk to see what time this bus starts running at your resort.

We had an 08:05 breakfast reservation at Crystal Palace with park opening at 09:00. The bus collected us from AKL before 7am (which was earlier than I had planned). Ask at your resort reception the night before, they'll have the timings

Buses start running at 6:30am...although a few resorts are 6:45am for first bus. There should be no issue getting a bus unless Disney screws up. We've done plenty of pre-park opening ADRs and minus a few major waits at WL, we've always had excellent bus service with these early morning slots.
