Bus from AK to DHS?

I'm helping my Aunt plan her trip to Disney. They have a 4:00 reservation for Tusker House and Fantasmic is showing the same night. I'm having trouble remembering if there is a bus that takes you right from AK to DHS. I think I took a bus from DHS to AK, but I'm having trouble remembering, as I did that in 2007. I know that to get to MK, you have to stop at the TTC, but I don't believe that to be the case with DHS (that would be a LONG bus ride). If anyone can confirm this, that would be great.

From Animal Kingdom park?

Yes, there's a direct bus from Animal Kingdom Lodge to DHS, but I never knew there were buses from park to park. You might want to double check this.

Yes I do mean from the Animal Kingdom park and I am 100% sure about that.

Disney DOES provide the transportation to enable "park hopping."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is "direct" transportation between all the WDW theme parks.

Most routes are via Disney Buses.

Here are the "park-to-park" Disney Transportation direct connections:

>Note: The MK bus connections arrive and depart only at TTC.<

MK/TTC> Epcot = Monorail
MK/TTC> DHS = Bus
MK/TTC> AK= Bus

AK> DHS= Direct Bus
AK> Epcot= Direct Bus
AK> TTC/MK= Bus

DHS> TTC/MK= Bus
DHS> AK= Direct Bus
DHS> Epcot= Direct Bus (Epcot Front Gate) or Boat (Epcot Intl. Gateway)
......Boats ("Friendships") make 3 interim stops at the Epcot area resorts.)

Epcot > TTC/MK= Monorail
Epcot > AK= Direct Bus
Epcot> DHS= Direct Bus (Epcot Front Gate) or Boat (Epcot Intl. Gateway)
......Boats ("Friendships") make 3 interim stops at the Epcot area resorts.)

The buses have their destinations shown on them on illuminated signs.
The bus stops at the parks are also marked with signage.

As a rule-of-thumb, allow 40-60 minutes to get from the gates of one park to the gates of another park.

I was unaware that there are some park to park bus routes, but there are definitely the ones Robo listed. I just returned home today and was surprised to see park to park routes.

But you CAN'T get direct buses between the parks and DTD,
nor can you get direct buses between the resorts.

However, the Resort Monorail does run between the 3 resorts around 7 Seas lagoon in front of MK.

And, the Friendship makes stops at the various resorts that are located near Epcot's International Gateway...
as it runs between Epcot and DHS.
