Hi Jennifer,
I am so excited to hEAR you will be dining at
Be Our Guest Restaurant at Magic Kingdom Park. This is my favorite place to dine in all of Walt Disney World. From the moment you walk across the bridge into the foreboding Beast's Castle, will feel like you have been transported into the famous fairy tale. I am also happy to report that the food is just as impressive as the majestic surroundings inside the Castle where you will be dining.
As you have an early morning reservation and wish to sleep in as long as possible that morning, I think your plan of being dropped off by private vehicle or taxi is the best way to accomplish that objective. You will want to budget for about a 10-15 minute drive to get you from your Villa at
Disney's Old Key West Resort to either the Transportation and Ticket Center or Disney's Contemporary Resort.
If your family would not be opposed to a short 5-10 minute walk, I recommend that you request to be dropped off at Disney's Contemporary Resort. Ask your driver to drop you off in a safe location as soon as he enters the parking lot. From here, you will head back out of the parking lot following the Walkway to the Magic Kingdom. After using a crosswalk to pass over World Drive at an intersection controlled by traffic lights, you will continue on a sidewalk all the way to the Magic Kingdom, passing the bus stop loop on your left hand side. Overall I believe your walk to Magic Kingdom Park would be slightly faster than taking the monorail or water transportation from either the Contemporary Resort or the Transportation and Ticket Center.
Wishing you a Magical upcoming Disney vacation and a delicious dining experience at Be Our Guest Restaurant!
Magically Yours,
Trish
