Hi there, Kathryn! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad you're here! And I'm excited to see that you'll be headed to
Walt Disney World Resort in just a few months!
Breakfast at
Cinderella's Royal Table sounds like an absolute dream! I can just imagine how wonderful it would be to arrive at
Magic Kingdom Park early, stroll down Main Street, U.S.A., and take photos in front of
Cinderella Castle!
Walt Disney World Water Transportation from Disney Resort hotels starts 30-45 minutes before
Early Theme Park Entry, many times earlier. My dear friend and fellow panelist,
LeAndra, reports that theme park transportation can leave as early as 7:30 am and that you should be there about 10 minutes before that. I'll link to the answer she recently gave another guest about this
here.
When you check in to
Disney's Wilderness Lodge, ask a Cast Member to confirm the current schedule. While bus transportation is an option, I think you'll arrive earlier using the water taxi. If you arrive before they have started letting people in, be sure to let a Cast Member at the turnstiles know that you have a dining reservation.
Since you'll be visiting this summer, check out all the great offerings that
Cool Kid Summer will bring, as well as some new and reimagined attractions! There are so many fun and exciting things coming to Walt Disney World over the next few months that I couldn't list them all if I tried! I think I'm most looking forward to the recently refurbished
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin,
Soarin' Across America in
EPCOT, and
The Magic of Disney Animation in
Disney's Hollywood Studios! Here's a great post by
Disney Parks Blog detailing all of the Cool Kids Summer activities and
another about other upcoming additions to expect.
I wish I could hear all about your magical morning, Kathryn! Have the best time, and let us know if you have anything else we can help with here at planDisney! We're always here for you!
Always Dreaming -
