Blizzard beach to animal kingdom.

[jothp]

Hi all
We are staying at OKW and have one day where we would like to do a couple of hours at blizzard beach in the morning before catching a few shows at animal kingdom in the afternoon and it seems a bit silly travelling all the way back to OKW in between when animal kingdom is so near to blizzard beach.
Have any of you ever gone straight from a water park to a theme park - what was your experience? How would we do this using the disney buses? Obviously we would have to carry wet swimsuits with us but are there any other problems I haven't thought about?

unless the routes have changed, there is a direct bus from BB to Animal Kingdom. They were testing such a route, plus buses to AK also go through BB

If not, you can walk from BB to Coronado Springs and catch a bus to DAK there.

Ask a transportation Cast Members (with an orange safety jacket) at the bus stop at BB for the quickest route, but you can definitely do that easily on disney transportation

If no direct bus then AKL busses would be pretty quick. Isn't far to AKL or AK from BB.

Thanks for that sounds like it won't be too much hassle to get there. I'd rather not carry the wet swimsuits with me really but going all the way back to OKW just to leave the swim things seems like a waste of time.

You could rent a locker once you get to AK to store your swimsuits

Thanks for that, I hadn't thought about getting a locker. Do you know how much they cost?

Wow that's really reasonable - thanks.

Now I just have to work out a way to make sure we don't forget the swimsuits and leave them there.
