Hi all-so, we normally go to DLand are really really good maximizing our time there...but, doesn't look like that will happen for us this year, so 1st trip to D World 1st week in April we are thinking! But this is a TOTALLY different beast for sure. Good friends with a gal that goes to DW every year, so in talking to her we have our lands picked out (Magic King, Holly. Stud, & Animal King). Park days will be M-F, and planning on hitting MK & HS twice in those 5 days, 1 park 1 day. I think we will be staying at the Pop Culture. So, here is my question. When we go to disneyland, we stay at the PP and get early entry every day. We just walk and show up at the gate like 1 hour early (yeah, the wife makes it her goal to be 1st in line at the rope drop!) and we are good to go. Its easy as we can dictate our time and walk.
I know this isn't so at DW, so what is the best way to get to our desired park early enough in the am? It looks like the skyliner will go to hollywood studios from the PC (which is why she wants to stay there as opposed to the All Star Movies place as they don't have the skyliner), so assuming we just plan to be at the skyliner a few minutes before they fire up and we should get to HS plenty early? And the bigger question we have is how to get to MK and AK early from the pop culture. It looks like the hotel has bus transportation, but i'm thinking they will stop at various other hotels, pick up guests, and then stop at other parks first, on and on, and we won't get to the park early enough if that makes sense (yes, we are a total "go for it" couple. We DEFINITELY get our steps in when we go and have a blast!!) So, if using their bus won't get us at the gate early enough, are there other better options? (no, we are not planning on renting a car). Or, if the bus will definitely get us there in plenty of time, then we are good to go! I know at DL there are plenty of fams that show up 5 min before opening and are fine with waiting in a huge line to get in, but that isn't us (and i'm thinking it will help that we are staying a DW hotel as we get the extra 30 minute entry i believe).
Thanks all for any help/advice/guidance. This is a little overwhelming for sure, as when we go to DL we are kind of on autopilot and everything goes relatively smooth and easy. But, we are definitely looking forward to something new even though its going to take some research and planning
