I'm a little confused about Ft. Wilderness transportation, so any advice would be appreciated. We have an 8:05 am reservation at BOG and I'm not sure what the best way to get there would be. We have a preferred site reserved (300 I'm guessing because we have a dog) and will have a car. We plan to drive to the other parks; I'm not even sure if we could drive to the TTC and catch the monorail to the MK that early? We leave 4 weeks from today, so the real planning begins...
 
I believe the best way would be the busses but one of the Disney campground veterans or Rusty will be able to answer your question better.
 
1) Take the boat to Contemporary.
2) Walk to MK (about 10-minutes from boat dock to MK gate).
3) An early bus from The Fort will also work, but the boat is more fun and scenic.


BAY LAKE & SEVEN SEAS LAGOON RESORT BOATS to/from WL-FW-CR-MK: (effective July-2015)
.
Wilderness Lodge, Magic Kingdom: (RED FLAG)
One MOTOR LAUNCH runs each from 30-min prior to MK opening until 1-1/2-hrs after MK closing. These boats run only between the MK and WL.
.
Fort Wilderness, Magic Kingdom: (GREEN FLAG)
One MOTOR CRUISER and one MOTOR LAUNCH runs each from 30-min prior to MK opening until 1-1/2-hrs after MK closing.These boats run only between the MK and FW.
.
Fort Wilderness, Wilderness Lodge, Contemporary: (BLUE FLAG)
Two MOTOR LAUNCH run at 0645-hrs to 2330-hrs daily.
Both run clockwise (FW>WL>CR>FW) until about 1500-hrs, then reverse direction (CR>WL>FW>CR) at 1500-hrs.

.
FW-WL-CR, Polynesian, Grand Floridian: (GOLD FLAG)
If you want to go to the GF/Poly from the WL, CR or FW by boat, you will have to go to the MK
and then get the Gold flag MOTOR LAUNCH. In addition, there is no boat that goes directly from
the CR to the MK, GF or Poly. Additional boats may be added to the Gold, Green, Red and Blue
routes during periods of exceptionally high demand, like at heavy MK closings, to alleviate guest lines at the docks. runs each from 30-min prior to MK opening until 1-1/2-hrs after MK closing.
 
Rusty,

Is there now a direct bus that goes direct from FW to MK?

I swear I have asked this question three times now in other threads but yet to get a confirmation on this. Asking the main man should get me somewhere with this.

1) Take the boat to Contemporary.

3) An early bus from The Fort will also work, but the boat is more fun and scenic.
 




We had a 8:05 when the park opened at 9. To get there by 7:45 we took a cab. This was at the Swan not FW. But most disney transportation opens 1 hour before. So if your reservation is at a day when the park opens at 9 you might want to call the resort to see if the boat runs that early. Or ask for a shuttle from the resort or get a cab .
 
How often does the blue flag boat run? Is there only 1 boat? Just wondering how early we would need to be at the dock for a 8:05 reservation?
 
Someone said they took a cab. Does the cab drop you off at the ticket / transportation center? If so, you would then need to take the monorail or the ferry boat to MK and that would mean additional time. For early breakfast ressies at MK, we have taken the boat to the Contemporary from FW at 6:45 am and then walked the path to MK. Actually an easy walk (about 15 mins even for these old legs), and it was a nice walk.
 
I think I have decided that the best route would be driving to the Contemporary and valet parking. We're planning on a few hours at the MK in the morning and a few in the evening and we don't want to spend a lot of the day traveling. We'll boat later in the week when we have more time.
