AKL Transportation

[mmeb144]

I've stayed at WL. I really enjoyed the transportation. Didn't have to wait long for the boats or the buses. I'm thinking of staying at AKL. Since the resort is a bit out of the way, how are the buses to the parks and DTD? Did you wait long at the resort, or at the parks for a bus? Was the bus stop to AKL pretty close to the park entrance? (WL was the first stop from the parks.)

We have stayed at AKL on two different trips and never had any trouble with transportation.

Just returned yesterday. The bus transportation was great. We never waited more than 10 minutes and that was to/from Downtown Disney. The longest ride was to MK and that took about 15 minutes. Shortest was Animal Kingdom was about 5 minutes. Epcot/MGM was about 10 minutes. It was great.

I also just got back yesterday - we had great service with the buses and the only wait we had was to Typhoon Lagoon (which also goes downtown) this was at about 11 am and people at the bus stop had waited about 30 minutes for the bus (we only waited 15) other than that buses were always there within 10 minutes of our arrival - the other time that we went to DD at night there was no wait at all - and we really didn't notice a long ride anywhere.

The only real bus issue was on Sat night leaving MK after wishes -we waited a long time (probably 20-30 minutes) with tons of people and they really jammed into the bus. You would think they would have more busses set up at a busy time but they were all running really slow.

At each park the bus stops are different - some are closer to the front door while others are farther
