Is there a way to get from the Pop Century Resort to the Wilderness Lodge by 7am?

[ssidiouss@mac.c]

If I were to have breakfast at the Whispering Canyon Cafe one day before the parks open.. is there a way to get to the Wilderness Lodge from the Pop Century Resory so I am there by 7am?

Also on a side note, some of the parks offer breakfast it seems before the parks open at certain restuarants.. how do you get inside the parks before they open? Do they check your priority seating or something?

A taxi is the only way that I know of at that time in the morning.

This is one of the few times you need a car or taxi. I highly advise the "resort 7am breakfasts". They aren't too crowded, have great food, and you get to experience another resort. You'll still be able to make park opening, although I wouldn't suggest attempting to make the Extra Magic Hour opening.

I also reccommend taking in a few meals at different resorts. Then you can decide if you want to go to that resort on your next trip.

If operational need allows and you ask the night before you might be able to have a cast member drive you in a resort van over to WCC. You can ask but don't expect this as sometimes there are not enough cast members or time to allow for this.

When I worked graveyard at ASSp I drove many a family over to the Contemporary for breakfast.

This is a good tip, actually. Our family was trying to get from the Disney Inn (before it became Shades of Green) to a meal at Fort Wilderness, in the middle of the day, and we missed the bus. We asked at Guest Services, and a CM drove us over to Fort Wilderness in a Disney van.

Early morning character breakfast transportation for resort guests with a priority seating at a Walt Disney World theme park or resort location is available.

You should be at the bus loading zone 45 minutes prior to seating time and inform the driver you are going to a Character Breakfast.

Guests traveling to a theme park location should proceed to the load zone designated for that theme park and board the bus with that theme park location on the marquee.

Guests traveling to the Grand Floridian, Polynesian or Contemporary Resorts should proceed to the Magic Kingdom load zone and board the Magic Kingdom bus. Monorail service is also available beginning at 7:00am.

Guests traveling to the Beach Club may proceed to the Disney-MGM Studios load zone and board the Disney-MGM Studios bus.

The bus will arrive at the load zone within 20 minutes, depending on route.

If you have an Advance Reservation inside a theme park prior to the official opening time, you will need your AR confirmation number and admission media to be allowed in and escorted to your restaurant.

Hope this helps! :sohappy:

I stayed at the Pop Century Resort back in January this year. We were having breakfast at the Crystal Palace (Magic Kingdom) for 8:05 am, so we left really early. The bus driver to the Magic Kingdom said she'd be glad to drop off anyone who was having breakfast at a Magic Kingdom Resort too. Sure enough, she stopped at Contemporary, Polynesian, etc... for all those who had priority seatings at those locations. I'm certain if the reservation is for that early, the bus drivers will meet your requests. If not, you can always go to the Magic Kingdom or any other park and just ride the Fort Wilderness bus there.

Hope this helps your needs.
