A few questions involving Winter Summerland, and DTD

[joyfulDisneytears]

I have a few questions so please bear with me!

1) Is Blizzard Beach combined with anything else on the bus route?

2) Is there transportation directly from theme parks to water parks? Specifically AK to BB (we are not going to BB itself, but mini golf)?

3) Is there transportation from BB to DTD?

4) If no for #3, what is the best hotel to travel to, then transfer to a DTD bus/boat?

5) Last time we were there in October and wanted to do mini golf, we just defaulted to Fantasia Gardens because BB was closed and I didn't know how we'd get there. If BB is again closed on our upcoming trip, how would we get to Winter Summerland...
a) from our hotel? or...
b) from AK?
c) and from BB/mini golf to DTD?

Your help is much appreciated, o transportation gurus!

If I remember correctly, the BB stop is included on the AK route. So, you would take a bus to AK and then get to BB.
when you are done at BB, I would take the bus to SSR and then walk, boat or bus to DTD.

You should post these questions again closer to your trip ... maybe a month or so before.

Disney has been toying with the idea of completely changing how BB bus service works. They had scheduled a test of a different approach, but called it off at the last moment. There's no telling what BB bus service will look like this autumn.

As of now, buses leaving DAK to most resorts stop at BB while the water park is open. Buses leaving the resorts to DAK stop at BB from about 1 hour before it opens until mid-afternoon. There is also service from DHS when BB is open.

When BB is closed, the only service is to and from Coronado Springs. Guests leaving W/S have to take the shuttle bus to CS, and there board a bus to an open theme park or DTD. A 2nd transfer is needed to reach a resort.
