POR - busses
I have just been reading about the busses at POR and how they run etc. I am concerned about our first morning as we have a 8.05am ADR at Crystal Palace. The port Orleans . Org website says that the busses run from 7am onwards and up until 8am the busses will be shared POFQ & POR. so that is going to be cutting it fine, we would like to be at MK for 7:30am as we don't want to rush down Main Street with three children.
Is this doable? Have people made an early ADR from POR? Thank you |

Floridatilly...
The busses will run when the busses run, and take as long as it takes to get to the MK with all the stops beforehand. If I were you I would wait until check in or early on the 1st morning and ask at the Hotel. If you need to arrange a Cab they are sitting waiting, particularly if its not dooable, as many other people may have experienced your issue. Disney332

The buses run much earlier than that. Shared buses didn't usually take long in our experience (we were there in Dec 2010 and all the buses were shared). If you are worried you can always jump in a taxi - if there are none waiting, bell services will call one for you.

It doesn't take 30 minutes to walk down Main Street, even with 3 children! Only 5 minutes at most. Blimey, how big do you think MK is?
If you get a bus from POR at 7am then you'll likely get to MK's entrance just before 7:30am. The buses go straight to the entrance, so you don't have to get the ferry or monorail.

We were at POR and on 21st April we caught the MK bus at 6.45am and it went straight there so I think you will be ok.

I mean I want us to arrive at MK for 7:30am to give plenty of time to go through bag check etc and get to our ADR with at least 10 mins early, not 30 mins just to walk down Main Street we take it slow but not that slow

That's great, thanks. With what I read on port Orleans (non official) web site had me worried saying busses only start at 7am and the early ones are shared with French quarter and do lots of stops before heading to the park.
We did not want our first morning being a mad dash especially with 3 children, one diabetic and one a toddler We will get to the bus stop really early |

Even if the bus starts at 7:00am and you do each and every stop at both hotels, you'll be there by 7:30am
you will go through security, then check in, and be staged in an area on the far left of the MK entrance. Then around 7:40/7:45am, CMs will open the line, you'll scan your tickets and enter the park. Every one who has breakfast around 8 to 8:30 (or maybe later) will be let in at the same time as you. So don't worry too much about that |

I understand.
Twenty-five minutes to get through bag check, enter MK, and walk down Main Street should be plenty of time. You'll probably do it in 15 mins or less. We've stayed at CBR before and the buses there go to 7 or 8 bus stops before heading to MK. It usually only takes 20 minutes to get to MK. So if you get a bus at 7am, you should get there before 7:30am. Hopefully, when you get to Crystal Palace you won't end up waiting outside for around 20 minutes after your ADR time like we did.
