Bachelorette Party @ Food & Wine Festival!

[ysprincess]

We are going to be heading to the F&W Festival in two weeks for my Bachelorette Party. So excited!

We are planning on spending the day at Epcot, going through all the countries. At night, we are thinking about going to Jellyrolls. I've never been there, but I heard that it's fabulous!

Basically, my question is about transportation. We are staying at ASMu, so I'm assuming what we will do, is go back, freshen up, and then go to Jellyrolls. I know that the buses run through the park, but I don't know how long they run. I really don't want to have to drive, or anyone for that matter, and I'm trying not to get stuck at Boardwalk! Also, what is the consensus on parking at Boardwalk for Jellyrolls - in case we do decide to appoint a DD. Probably the easiest option, yeah?

We are also open to any suggestions for anything that we should definitely not miss!!!

TIA!

As far as buses go, you can take a bus from Epcot to the Boardwalk, but you won't be able to take a bus back to Epcot after if it's past about ten. As far as taking a bus from your hotel to the Boardwalk, you probably would have to take a bus to one of the parks then take another bus to the Boardwalk, there is no bus that goes from hotel to hotel. (unless it's hotels on the same grid, like contemporary and polynesian.)

The busses run later to Downtown Disney, so that is probably your best bet to get there (change to Boardwalk bus at DTD). I'd plan on taking a cab back to your hotel though. Even if you took a bus to Epcot, you won't be able to walk to the International Gateway to get to the Boardwalk after the park closes and there is no bus from Epcot to the Boardwalk.

Parking at BW to go to Jellyrolls is tough. They are super strict about people parking there if they're not guests at BW - mostly during F&W. I had a friend try to go to Beaches & Cream at Beach Club the other day and they wouldn't let her park there.

It also depends what time you plan to go to Jellyrolls. There is parking across the street that usually lightens up after Epcot closes.

My suggestion is do F&W later in the day, start at like 2 pm then go straight from there to Jellyrolls. You're already there! People don't dress up to go to Jellyrolls. Also, if you can get to jellyrolls early, like 8 pm - you'll have a better chance at getting a table. Its really fun to be right on the floor in front of the piano's. I go to Jellyrolls all the time and we always go early. Sometimes even by 7 pm to get a table. It's a blast.... so I wouldn't even bother with going back to the hotel and freshening up. Then, just take a cab back to the hotel, it will cost you about $10.

I agree with everything! We go to Jellyrolls straight from Epcot all of the time (and we did this for my bachelorette party too!) Don't worry about going home in between. Less of hassle and more time to get a better table. And I wouldn't worry about the buses. I would definitely just take a taxi home. Have fun!

Wow! Thanks guys, for all the replies!!

Definitely looks like we will be taking a cab!

Thanks for the tip on getting to Jellyrolls early - I didn't even think about getting a table there!

Thanks! <3
