Bus from AK to MGM - how long?

[TammyC]

I am just wondering how much time I should allow to get from AK to MGM on a Disney bus. We will be visiting in early to mid November and will be leaving AK before closing. My best guess would be a wait of up to 20 minutes, then about a 10 minute ride??? Would this bus also stop at a water park?

Thanks,
Tammy

Give or take, that would be about right. Buses run every 15-20 minutes, and it's around a 10-15 minute ride (depending on the driver).

Busses that run between parks do not stop at any water parks.

Busses that run between parks

Wow, I didn't know that there were park-to-park busses! Makes my planning a lot easier.

Just a little more tidbits to help your planning.

There is only the monorail between MK and Epcot.

The MK busses that go between MK and MGM, and MK and AK actually stop at the TTC (not where the resort busses stop).

We stayed at AKL last July (very busy) and never once had more than a 15-20 minute wait for a bus. It was so nice not stopping at other stops which saves time right off the top. This is a big plus for AKL.

One afternoon a storm was coming in and the bus driver said he was going to go through one of the water parks to see if we had any pick-ups to help out because of the storm. We did pick up several people and it was nice to know he was looking out for their safety, as well as, helping out those other drivers.
