Love this site for checking travel time especially, but it was the time from parking that I wanted to know, but it seems that the bus would be the better option. Thanks

Thanks, I had a horrible feeling we would need to get it that early

Does the bus work though? I am looking for it too from POR for a 8am BOG reservation with a park opening time of 9am. This is what I found on the Disney website:

Getting to Disney Theme and Water Parks from a Disney Resort Hotel
Bus service from Disney Resort hotels begins 45 minutes prior to park opening and ends 1 hour prior to park closing.
Return service to Disney Resort hotels ends 2 hours after park closing.

So if the bus only starts running 45 mins before park opening, it won't start until 8.15 so I will miss my reservation. Am I reading it right?

I'm interested in this as we have an 8.05 reservation too... Also from POFQ.

It says that, but in reality they start running much earlier. They have 8am opening restaurants and want to make sure people can get there, so buses run to ensure they do.

Just thought of another question: If we got an Uber, do they drop off in the same place as the bus, or not?

No they don't I'm afraid. Honestly bus to mk is easier.

Uber to the Contemporary is a great option for MK. We done this a few times last year.
