Early breakfast reservation how to get there?

We are doing our first on site stay this may and for our first day we have booked a pre park opening breakfast at be our guest. We are staying at port orleans riverside but i seem to remember magic kingdom has no parking and you have to get the monorail in? It has been almost 20 years since my last visit so forgive me if i am wrong.

how would you recommend getting there for our 8.05am reservation, does transport run this early and how long before can you arrive at the park? i realise it is at the other side of the park so thinking maybe 20 minutes?

any help much appreciated

MK does have parking but you have to get the monorail or boat from the car park. One of them will be working for early ADR guests. Worst case they'll have a bus on.

Hi all you have to do is get the free bus , they start about an hour before your time and drop you off 200 yards from the entrance.walking up an empty Main Street fantastic !

Thats great thank you. One of the reasons we choose to stay on property was teh transport, i remember the car parks being so big that i thought the bus might be just as quick and less stressful. I wasn't sure if they would be running that early but assumed there just be some way as mentioned above it's not the easiest place to get to.

thanks again

But it's not going to be an empty Main Street, rope drop is in front of the castle now.

I would always recommend the bus to Magic Kingdom as it stops rights outside the entrance. If you drive you have to park at the ttc and get the monorail or ferry

Have they changed rope drop ? In Magic Kingdom . On our last visit 2 years ago rope drop was at entrance with entertainment , then slowly let through. With an early adr you also get let in before this.

I've just looked and apparently the opening show is in front of the castle now, i still don't imagine they are letting people who don't have an early reservation into the park at 7.30 am though so hopefully it will still be quiet.

Hi having done a little research it seems sometimes depending on crowd levels they may let people in a little early, but hopefully you will get the pleasure of an empty Main Street as we have had
