What is the fastest/easiest way to get from Pop Century Resort to the Grand Floridian to see the Gingerbread House? We want to check out GF and then head to MK by 7pm when we can enter for the AH Christmas party.

Thanks!
 
If your planning to go to MK afterwards than I’d second what PP said and bus to the park than hop on the resort monorail

Fastest/easiest/most direct from Pop to GF would be rideshare as recommended by CBMom01. Easiest via Disney transportation would be bus to MK and then walk or take launch or monorail to GF - GF would be the last stop on the monorail before ending up back at MK again, so the little MK-GF-Poly launch might be quicker depending on whether the launch is approaching the dock as you walk from the bus stop toward the dock and the monorail station.

In the "good old days" of WDW, I'd agree...
But currently, without an ADR at the GF, is that allowed?
Fair point. I bet they don't monitor as closely later in the day but who the heck knows these days. Alternate plan would be to Uber to the TTC and monorail over. But by then, maybe just bus to the MK.

Skyliner to Hollywood Studios and then bus?
 
Bus to the Magic Kingdom then boat , monorail or walk to GF . We love the boat and get lucky getting on one right away usually. Monorail can sometimes take longer because GF is the last stop from the MK .

Sorry, I doubt that riding Skyliner Pop to CBR, transfer to Skyliner CBR to DHS, walk from Skyliner to bus at DHS, wait for and ride bus to GF would be faster than bus to MK and then walk/boat/monorail to GF - it’s certainly not easier.

We have met people at MK hotels several times recently who used ride share without an issue. Thankfully, it's pretty obvious the driver isn't staying so they wave them through. The issue is limited parking. They wave valet through, too (my mom valets everytime she meets us without issue).
 
We’re looking to do Disney transportation so the bus to MK sounds like the way to go. We’ve never ridden that particular Disney boat (MK to the resorts) so that would be a fun thing to add to our list of new experiences.

Our son (now 17) loved all the different Disney transportation, Monorail, Epcot boat, Train etc, when he was little so we’ve purposely checked out a lot of the ways to get around Disney 😂😂
Thanks for the ideas everyone!

We love riding the launch from MK to GF and Poly - it goes MK-GF-Poly-MK, BTW, and when you get off at GF just walk straight down the path, and it will bring you to the main building where the gingerbread house is.
 
Safest and easiest way (without having to rideshare), as suggested by a pp, take bus to MK and transfer to resort monorail from MK to GF or take a boat..
