Hi there, Jamie, and welcome to planDisney!
It looks like you're already in the middle of the magic, so let's channel our inner Lightning McQueen and cruise right to your early morning transportation options. Ka-Chow!
Walt Disney World's complimentary bus transportation connecting Disney Resort hotels to Walt Disney World's theme parks begins about 45 minutes prior to theme park opening each day, so on days like today, when
Disney's Animal Kingdom opens for Early Theme Park Entry at 7:30 AM, you can expect to see a bus pulling into your Disney Resort hotel around 6:45 AM.
Unfortunately, the buses that run between Walt Disney World's theme parks tend to stay tucked in for the night a bit longer, and you won't see those until around 10 AM each day. Because of this, if you're hoping to head from Magic Kingdom Park to Animal Kingdom at 7:45 AM, your best bet will be to utilize the
Disney Minnie Van Service. This rideshare service, powered by Lyft, is not complimentary but can be requested at your convenience (pending availability) for an additional fee through the Lyft app. One of the perks of catching a Minnie Van at Magic Kingdom Park is that Minnie Vans are able to pick you up from the bus loop rather than the Transportation and Ticket Center, as is the case with other rideshare services. Once in a Minnie Van, you'll be at Animal Kingdom and on the back of a banshee before you know it!
Next time you're in a transportation pinch, Jamie, be sure to check out the handy navigation feature in the My Disney Experience app. Simply select the magnifying glass at the bottom of the screen and enter your desired destination to have step-by-step directions instantly at your fingertips. Just like magic!
Thinking Happy Thoughts,
Lizzie
