Beach Club Trans. Options?

[Brer Brett]

Hey all - new to the forum. Will be going back to the world in May and staying at Beach Club for first time. I've been reading that the transpo on the busses from Beach Club to MK can be a little slow. Wanted to get some peoples' opinions on what they think would be faster:
1) waiting for bus at BC and taking bus to MK; or
2) walking over to Epcot, taking Monorail from Epcot to MK?

I've only stayed at Port Orleans before and the busses were usually pretty regular though very crowded. Any thoughts or recommendations on Beach Club travel to and from parks would be most appreciated!

Welcome to the DIS!

The bus will definitely be faster. We've never had bus problems from the BC, YC, or BW.

From the BC, to get to the Epcot monorail you need to walk about 10-15 minutes to Epcot and then say another 5-10 minutes thru Epcot to get to the monorail. Now take the monorail wait time and travel time, you have another 15-25 minutes and then you have to transfer at the TTC to get to MK and that could be another 10-20 minutes.

So, if everything goes right it will take a minimum of 40 minutes and a maximum of 70 minutes. The bus will not take that long from BC to MK. The BC is the last stop normally on the YC/BC route and it is the 2nd to last stop on the 5 Epcot Resort route.

So, BC to MK is about 10-15 minutes best case (no wait for the bus), worst case 30-40 minutes.

I would take the bus, even if it is standing room, it's faster and you won't be as tired from walking to the Epcot monorail station.

I have actually tried both and the bus is much faster. Even if you have to wait 20 minutes for a bus, you still can't make it from BC to the Epcot monorail in that time.

I had no complaints with the buses at BC when we were there. The only time it's an issue is mid-day when BW, S/D, YC/BC all share the same bus...that takes awhile to get going to a park. But early and late it's a bus just for YC/BC.
