Best way to get from pop century to beach club resort

[michael85]

me and my wife want to know the best way to get from pop century to beach club resort? Can we take a bus to a park, then a bus back to beach club? Or save time and take an uber?

You can take a bus from Pop to Hollywood Studios and then either walk to Beach Club or take the boat. It's about a 20 minute walk I think. The boat can take longer. That's the most direct route, but yes you can take a bus to any park and then to BC.

You can take a bus to DHS and then a boat or walk to Beach Club, but, yes, you will save a ton of time by taking uber.

Best free way: bus to DHS, then walk or Friendship Boat to BC.
Best fast way: Lyft or Über

Just be aware that if you do a bus to a park and then bus from park to BC, there are no buses from Epcot or HS to BC.

so after we eat breakfast at the beach club, we can take a bus to magic kingdom?

Yes! You can bus to/from AK and MK. Boat or walk only to/from DHS and Epcot.

quick additional question...if after we eat at the beach club, we can walk to epcot and take the monorail to magic kingdom? i read thats faster then the bus, but can we enter epcot to take the monorail? we are not using the epcot ticket until the next day

Only if you have a park hopper.

You would need to use your ticket to enter Epcot.

 

[michael85]

oh ok then. so no monorail lol

 

[summerlvr]

I really don't think the monorail would be faster anyway. You would have to walk all the way through Epcot to get to the monorail, which goes to the TTC. You would then have to transfer to the MK monorail. Seems like bus from Beach Club directly to Magic Kingdom would be much faster.

 

[michael85]

I guess so. I've just read that the bus passes many resorts on the way to magic kingdom. Swan, dolphin, beach club, boardwalk etc...they are probably packed or skip stops

 

[mousegear]

depending on how busy it is the bus stops at all the resorts or sometimes only YC/BC share the bus. However, even if the bus stops at all the Epcot resorts, BC is second to last (Boardwalk) so it won't stop at all the hotels.

There is a separate MK bus for each of the following:

BC and YC
Swan and Dolphin
Boardwalk

Confirming you will be just fine taking the bus to MK. And, it's better since the Monorail will require you to take a second monorail from TTC (as summerlvr noted).

As for the schedule, it is rare that they run all 5 hotels on one line. I stay at Epcot Resorts often, and I use the bus system to go to Epcot and Studios quite often (typically at Disney Springs hotels otherwise, so I pick up resort buses vs. direct-to-park buses often). The standard route is to have BW-Swan-Dolphin on one and YC-BC on another. During busy times (meaning both peak season and/or during morning opening or after park close), they will often put Boardwalk on its own, so you have 3 lines (BW, YC-BC, Swan-Dolphin). Only during very slow periods or in very unique circumstances have I seen them together.

Enjoy yourself!

That's a LONG walk! But you would have to have a ticket to get into Epcot to do it.
