If you are a resort guest, you don't have to pay to park unless you valet park. I would drive to the different resorts.

Yep! When you check in at your resort they will give you a parking pass for your car. Just keep it in the front window at all times and point to it as get to the "toll booths" for the parks. They'll just wave you right through. As for the resorts, if there is a guard booth, just tell him/her that you're there for dinner. They'll also just pass you through.
Have a great time!!

Since you are staying at Pop Century, you will not have to pay any parking fees unless you valet park your car. When you check in, they will give you a half sheet of paper that have your information on it, and you show that at the entrances to any parks you visit.

The overhead signage at WDW is really hard to describe, almost like you could not get lost unless you really wanted to, because every few hundred feet there are signs directing you where to go. all resorts will be shown, as well as the major theme parks and water parks, etc.

WOW! Thanks guys! That changes everything. Looks like the trip will be a lot easier without taking busses everywhere!

Are you doing anything besides eating?

 

[kaytieeldr]

Yes, they are, Nancy - they're playing miniature golf, and touring a park once or twice, between meals

OP - we're just teasing you. We know you have much more planned than just food, but that you know how to get from your meals to the parks and that your primary concern was getting to places not easily/directly served by Disney's transportation

Are you by any chance on the deluxe dining plan?

 

[VeganRazzleDazzle]

Oh Yeah! We are going deluxe and ready to stuff ourselves!!!
We like to eat, and oh yeah...we like Disney too!

I see a problem with some of your breakfast reservations. You have some breakfast ADR's around 9 for some of your park days. If you keep these you will miss rope-drop and prime touring time.

I would suggest to get 8am ADR's at Crystal Palace on your MK day. We do this every trip because you can get in and out before rope-drop. You are ahead of the pack and can get some wonderful pictures in an empty park.

Check out the transportation wizard located here. You can tell it the starting and ending destination and it will guide you through how to get there using Disney onsite transportation.

This site does not always give the best info out there. For instance...if you want to get from POP to BW, LP will tell you to take the bus to Epcot and then walk or boat over to BW. But, that uses up a day on your park pass....so not always a good option. A better option is busing to DHS and then walking or boating over to BW.



OP...have you considered playing minigolf at Fantasia Gardens rather tha Winter/Summerland?? It's only an 8 or so min walk from BW..then back over to BC for lunch. Just a thought.
