AK to MGM

[PolyHereWeCome]

We're planning to go to AK in the morning and later go on to the Fantasmic Dinner show at MGM at 4:30. Might go back to the hotel (Poly) in between, but if we run out of time, and if it saves time, might go directly from AK to MGM. We won't have a car, so will use Disney transportation.

So I plug into the Dis site that we want to get from AK to MGM and it says that it'll take 1-2 Hrs using Disney transportation! (http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/tran...+Kingdom&end=Disney-MGM+Studios&submit=Submit)

Is it really that long/What should we do? Go back to hotel? Go to TTC? Get off someplace and walk?

I also posted this on the transp. board.Thank You!!

I did this in the morning once. I went to AK for early entry to ride Dinosaur as it was going down for refurb the next day (the day I planned for AK) and it took no more than 10 minutes to get to the Studios. I got to the bus stop just as a Studios bus was arriving and off we went. I probably left AK around 9:30 and was through bag check and through the MGM turnstiles by 9:45.

Wow! I might believe 1 hour but 2?? That sounds a bit excessive to me. But, I have never tried that, so what do I know?

How about if you take the first bus that heads to either The Yacht/Beach Club, The BoardWalk, or Swan/Dolphin and take the boat over to MGM? Would that be faster?

Thanks, you both, for the responses! I also got responses from the transportation board and seems that travel calculator is way way wrong. You both are absolutely right about either taking a direct bus (which takes about 15 minutes and comes every 15 minutes) or the boat from Swan/Dolphin.

THANK YOU!!
