    My grandson and I have reservations for Cape May Cafe at 9:55am on 11/29 and will be staying at a Disney Spring resort. Will we be able to catch a bus from Springs to the Beach Club for our reservation? I checked the calendar and the parks open early 7:30

    Hey Howdy Hey Priscilla and welcome to planDisney!

    Priscilla, you will love your experience at Cape May Cafe at Disney's Beach Club Resort. Not only will you have fun dining with your favorite characters, but the food is fantastic and any reason to visit the Beach Club is a great excuse to check out the resort in general. Regarding getting to this hotel, let's go over some options so you are well-prepared for your day. 

    When it comes to Resort Transportation around the Walt Disney World Resort, operations begin about 45 minutes before the parks open. But this typically is location-dependent. Checking on the Day Calender for November 29th, Disney Springs opens that morning at 10:00 AM. Bus transportation will begin that morning around 9:15 or so. This should still give you time to get from Disney Springs to the Beach Club but let's go over some insider tips so you will know for sure. 

    If you do plan to catch the bus from Disney Springs, at each bus stop location, you should see a screen with updated time of arrival for buses. These times are updated in real-time so you should get an idea of when the buses will arrive. If you feel this time is cutting it too close, Minnie Vans can bail you out!

    Minnie Vans is Disney's ride-share option and is available through the Lyft app, driven by Disney Cast Members. If you feel you will not have enough time to get to the resort with bus transportation, feel free to give a Minnie Van a call to get you directly where you need to go. This option does come with an added cost, but is such a nice way to travel to get into the Disney spirit! You can always take this one way and then the bus back to Disney Springs after you finish checking out the resort after your meal. 

    Since you will be at the Beach Club, you can feel free to roam around the resort and check out all it has to offer. Disney's Boardwalk is just a short walk away as well and is a super nice stroll. You are also within walking distance from the entrance to EPCOT and Disney Skyliner. Feel free to hop on board and soar to new heights to visit other resorts or just enjoy a unique form of transportation. You can always catch a bus from any Disney Resort hotel back to Disney Springs. My favorite resort on the Skyliner line is Disney's Rivera Resort. This resort is immaculate and walking around the grounds and enjoying the beauty of the place is amazing. Le Petit Cafe will also give you a reason to stay a bit longer for a snack if the desire hits you!

    I hope you have a Magical time on your upcoming vacation enjoying a meal with your grandson. If you have any other questions let us know, we are always happy to help!

    To Infinity and Beyond, 

    Nick
