AofA to ak

[shaunbabka]

can anyone tell me how long of a ride it is (and if buses seem to come as regular as (magic kingdom)?

We're here now and have a fp at 8:00 for Tusker house. My wife didn't enjoy getting up at 6 today. Can't say my 5 year old did either. But we did catch the bus today to mk at 645.

Even an extra 15 minutes would help.

Thanks!

I would be at the bus stop no later than 7:00.

Last week at AoA, we had to wait about 25 min for an early Epcot bus the morning the new Soarin opened (and about 3 MK busses came and went, as did one for every other park). It was a little stressful since there were no Epcot busses listed on the electronic time board. Also, I don't know how many they will be cranking out that early.

But there is good news. AoA is an easy ride to AK - 10 minutes tops. They route by ESPN World of Sports and avoid all of the traffic signals of the main drive. And you won't have to stop at any other resorts on the way. And overall, I would say the bus service was our favorite (and we have stayed at most of the resorts in the last 20 years)

I think we must have ridden the same bus to Epcot last Friday! The lack of a bus time on the board and the long wait was really stressing me out! The park wasn't bad at all that day, though.

That's awesome. It picked us up at about 8:00-8:05. My oldest son was not thrilled with all of the MK busses pulling through (one even had to wait until the first pulled out). It was all fine, though. I think we were at the seat belt check on Soarin by 9:25.

we just got back and i will say the transportation system did work out very well for us. i was nervous beforehand and was considering uber for some of the trips but i'm glad we didn't

my only issue was I had no idea guests have to request the bus for an early breakfast at the park. it's a good thing another family had tusker reservations with us because otherwise there would have been no bus

Buses start around 6:30 every morning. There is no need to request one.
