Questions about getting around resort...

I'm working out my ADRs and our schedule and I was laying in bed last night worrying about a few transportation problems!

We are staying at AS Music, so I understand to get to a resort for an ADR we have to take a bus to a park and then transfer to a resort bus, correct?

Our first night we are eating at Ohana, but we are not going to any parks that day. Will we still be able to take a bus to TTC and then take the monorail or boat to the Polynesian even though we don't have a park ticket for that day? Or would it be easier to drive our own car?

We also have a 7:30 breakfast at Chef Mickey's. My hope was to hop on the monorail after breakfast and go to MK or Epcot. But are the buses running early enough from AS Music (say, 6:30 or so) so that we can get to TTC, transfer onto something else to get to Chef Mickey's for our 7:30 ADR?? We could drive and park at the Contemporary, but I hear parking is tough there and I don't want to have to drive back to AS Music to leave the car before hitting the parks.

I know these are silly things to worry about, but I am seriously laying in bed at night with these questions running through my head!!

THanks for any help.

You can use resort transportation for all of that.

Resort buses don't go to the TTC.


From ASMu to the Poly you'd take a bus to the MK and monorail to the Poly - approx travel time 50 in (you could also bus to Blizzard Beach which is closer to the AS and then bus to Poly but it would be about the same ammount of time)


From ASMu to the Contemporary you'd do the same as above, but you have the choice of walking to the Contemporary or taking the monorail - both would take the same ammount of time.

Thanks for posting this question! We are staying @ ASMovies and have a ressie for Chef Mickeys @ 9:40am, we were told to leave 1hr prior, is that right? Sonya, I just want to make sure I understand this correctly. We would take the bus from our resort to MK, then we could either walk over to the contemporary or take the monorail. Would you suggest walking? I know when we stayed at the contemporary we walked to MK and I think it only took us about 15min at the most? Do you know what stop the Contemp is once you get on the monorail or does it change. Thanks! Only 36 more days....yikes!

If you stayed at the Contemporary and walked to the MK, then you should remember walking past the MK bus stops before getting to security checks and that the monorail is on the opposite side up a ramp.
