Dear Theresa,
Thank you so much for stopping by to visit us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your terrific question about planning your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
How exciting that you have an upcoming visit planned and I just know that it will be filled with magical moments for your entire family!
Unfortunately, since you are not staying at a
Walt Disney World Resort hotel, you are not eligible for the
Disney Dining Plan, but you are absolutely eligible for all of the delicious
Advanced Dining Reservations that you choose!
Chef Mickey's breakfast is a big favorite for many families, so I'm very glad that you will get to experience it! I'm not sure about the transportation from off-site hotels and when that is up and running, so I can't assist you with that question, but I can let you know that Walt Disney World Resort transportation starts running about an hour before park opening. If you talk to your hotel, you can ask about the specifics as to where and when the hotel shuttles run and drop off.
Hope that helps with your magical planning!
