Hi Jennifer!
Thanks so much for choosing to visit the Disney Parks Moms Panel and congratulations on your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World! You're going to love Disney's Art of Animation Resort.
Starting your day with breakfast at Chef Mickey's is a perfect way to begin your Disney Day! You'll find that getting to Disney's Contemporary Resort in the morning is actually quite easy. Simply head on out to your Art of Animation bus depot area about one hour prior to your reservation time for Chef Mickey's. Although regular bus transportation to the parks doesn't begin until 1 hour prior to park opening hours, Disney Transportation buses begin servicing the resorts specifically to whisk guests like yourself off to early morning breakfast reservations as early as 6:30am.
Once at the bus area, you'll find a Cast Member will be there with a clipboard or wireless device. Check in and advise the Cast Member where you're headed for breakfast. They'll let you know when you can expect the next bus headed towards Magic Kingdom for breakfast reservations.
Upon exiting the bus at Magic Kingdom, enjoy the 10 minute stroll along the pathway to Disney's Contemporary Resort, or head up to the Resort Monorail platform to ride one short stop to the Contemporary's Grand Canyon Concourse.
If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to write me back Jennifer. I'd love to hear from you again!
Wishing you a Magical time at Walt Disney World!
