Hey guys I'm trying to park my rental at the park I'm ending at for the day but I want to be there for the rope drop at a different park. Does anyone know how early I can get park to park transportation? Or should I just drive to the park I want to start at and deal with the car later? Thanks guys!

I believe I read that they started one hour before the parks open.:)

What happens if there is EMH in the AM? Would they start one hour before that?

Sorry guys, there are no dedicated park-to-park busses.
You have to take a bus to an outer location, such as the TTC or a resort, then catch another bus to a park from there.
For instance, if you were wanting to finish out your day at the Studios, you might park there, then take a bus from the Studios back to the resort nearest the park you want to go to, then catch another bus from there to that park. Don't forget the monorail, if you are wanting to go to Magic Kingdom or Epcot, take a bus to a monorail line hotel then go from there.

This is not correct - there are park to park busses.

Sorry if I have steered anyone wrong, but that WAS the case when we were in WDW Sept 07.
We did this several times, possibly starting our day in Animal Kingdom, then wanting to end our day in another park or in DTD... we would have to go to a resort first, then bus to our next park from that resort. We were told that WDW busses always run a "spoke and hub" system, with each park being the "hub" and the resorts being the "spokes"; buses always ran along the spokes, never between the hubs.
However, I fully admit that things may have - probably have! - changed between now and then, and apologize for any false info. :)

In March '07 I took a bus from Animal Kingdom to Epcot. There are no buses from the parks to DTD, though.

Is it possibly during busy times that the busses go park-park? I've personally never seen this either but I've not been during peak season in many years.

Wow- really? I've never seen a park to park bus. I know you can ride the monorail from Epcot to MK, and a boat from Epcot to DS. Maybe I've never notice the bus thing because I've never looked for it. Hum - thought I "knew it all" :rolleyes1

If you go to the front page of this website and click on transportaon you can get to the bus schedule.

I was informed by CM's when we were there last May that there are no Park to Park busses either. You have to take a bus to a resort and catch from there. I had to take a bus to one of the resorts that was closest to DTD when leaving Magic Kingdom. (((or was it DS??? I digress))))
As a previous poster stated, the monorail does run between MK and Epcot and boats between DS and Epcot. (which I didn't know until returning from our trip and finding the DIS)
If things have changed and there are now buses running from AK to MK.. or DS to AK, someone please confirm as this would be fantastic. ;)

This is just basic info on when the buses begin to run in the am. Nothing about park to park buses.

OK, this is really bugging me :confused: Are you sure you took a bus from AK to the front of Epcot?? It wasn't just a bus from AK to Beach/Yacht/Boardwalk then you walked in the back entrance to Epcot?
(I'm like a dog with a bone on this one. Just can't seem to let it go :sad2: )

When we went in Dec 2007 we were able to take a bus from park to park. Now if we wanted to do to DTD we had to go to a resort hotel then catch another bus to go to DTD. We parked hopped quit a bit and were went from AK to Mk one day.
