Beach Club WWYD? Does early magic hour start at stated time or 30 min prior?

Going to Disney in March and staying at Beach Club.

On the day we want to go to MK, there is EMH at 8:00am.

Does that mean they will let the on site guests in at 7:30 or 8:00?

The one time we tried to go to MK for EMH, the monorail had mechanical problems and we arrived at ~8:30 instead of 8:00.

Which would be faster? WWYD?
A. Disney bus to MK
B. Drive to TTC and take monorail

The last time we stayed at Disney Dolphin, it took FOREVER for the buses to the loop for Boardwalk and Beach Club. It felt like it took at least 15-20 to get to each resort, let people off and let people on.

Will they only have one bus per resort during peak time?

Monorail is on modified schedule for the next 3 months, so I would not rely on that. EMH are for resort guest only, so entrance is at 8:00am.

We stayed at YC (connected to BC) and the bus service to MK was horrible. We waited almost 40 minutes for buses there. It was just downright terrible. Especially considering it's a deluxe resort. With that said, I think driving to the TTC is a joke also, and very time consuming. Then you have to take the monorail or boat, and that takes time. I would probably get to the bus stop at 7 and hope for the best!
