Aloha, Leslie!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question!
Starting your day with breakfast at
‘Ohana is a magical way to kick off your Disney day! Planning your transportation ahead of time will help you relax and enjoy your meal with Lilo, Stitch, and friends.
For your early breakfast reservation at
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, the best way to ensure you arrive on time from
Disney’s Pop Century Resort is to use a combination of Disney transportation options or a rideshare service.
If you’d like to use the complimentary Walt Disney World Transportation System, here’s the best route: Start by taking a
Disney bus from Pop Century to
Magic Kingdom Park. Buses usually begin running up to an hour before Magic Kingdom opens, so check the park hours for that day to determine the earliest bus times. The night before, check the
My Disney Experience app or ask the front desk about the earliest bus schedules to ensure you’re on track with the most up-to-date information. Plan to be at the bus stop by around 6:30 AM to ensure you have enough time.
Once you arrive at Magic Kingdom, head to the
Resort Monorail station, located just outside the park entrance. Board the monorail and get off at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, (the third stop). This method will typically take around 60 minutes or more, so leaving early is key to arriving on time for your reservation.
For a quicker and more direct route, you might consider using a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft, or the
Minnie Van Service through the Lyft app. These options will take you directly from Pop Century to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and usually take about 15-20 minutes.
Whatever transportation you choose, I’d plan to leave Pop Century by around 6:30-6:45 AM to allow plenty of time to arrive at the Polynesian, check-in, and enjoy the island vibes before your breakfast! Using the Walt Disney World Transportation System is complimentary, while rideshare options will cost money but save you time by offering a direct route. Either way, planning ahead will ensure you arrive on time to enjoy your delicious breakfast at ‘Ohana!
After all, Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind - or arrives late for breakfast!
