Hi All -
We are going to the world in 3 weeks staying at the Grand Floridian - Have a couple questions for those who know.
1. Transportation - obviously it's easy to get to the MK but what about Epcot and AK? I read that it takes less than 20 minutes via bus but almost an hour via monorail. I also read that the monorail resorts have less buses. Is this the case or is it just as easy to get a bus as it is to catch the monorail? Will I be able to get to Epcot and AK fairly easily/quickly from GF or will I have to take the monorail to the TTC and then the epcot monorail? Please help
2. Is it a pain to get back to the resort from MK after spectro? Is this the case with all resorts or are some of the resorts on the monorail easier? We are debating on whether to stay for Spectro. With young kids, I don't want to fight the crowds to get back to the resort for some well needed rest.
3. Can we see the water parade from the resort? If so where will we need to be and what time does it go? Is it a good substitute if Spectro is out of the question? We are only in the World for 3 nights - we are staying 5 days in Vero beach first.
Thanks for your help - I'm a disney virgin going with the whole fam - kids, parents, sister, brother in law, DH over Easter - it's going to be crazy...
