Hi Angela,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Thanks for sending us this great question.
Disney's Art of Animation Resort is my family's favorite Disney Value Resort hotel because of its whimsical theming, the yummy food at the Landscape of Flavors, the incredible pools and the many thoughtful details throughout the resort.
The complimentary
Walt Disney World® Bus Service to the theme parks begins running 45 minutes prior to the listed opening time. However, there is really no need to worry about making it to Magic Kingdom Park for your 8:10 a.m. breakfast reservation. You'll also find there are buses running even earlier specifically for guests with early morning dining reservations. When you arrive at Disney's Art of Animation Resort, please ask what time those early buses will start running on the morning of your reservation. Be sure to inquire about the exact pick-up location too. I suggest allowing at least an hour for travel time.
If for whatever reason the early bus service is not operating from your resort, I recommend taking a taxi, Lyft™ or Uber. We recently hired a taxi for an early morning breakfast reservation which cost around $12. You'll generally find a few taxis waiting at the front of the resort hotel. However, I suggest calling the front desk about 20 minutes before you need to leave. Alternatively, make a request for a Lyft™ or Uber pick up.
Disney Mom Tip: Before making your way to Cinderella's Royal Table, do take advantage of the priceless opportunity to snap a few pictures in front of
Cinderella Castle without crowds in the background.
Wishing you an unforgettable vacation at the Walt Disney World Resort!
