Bus to MK from BWV?

[MAC3]

Is there one? We have always walked through Epcot to get there as we have AP's but my DD's best friend only has a 3 day pass. Don't want to burn a day just for cutting through. Going to 1900 PF would this be the fastest way? Or would it be faster just to drive ourselves?

Thank You,
Lisa

There is a bus to all parks & DTD. But to GF or any other resort, I'd drive.

It is never faster to drive yourself to MK. The bus goes right to the MK gate, so you'll do the full loop of the MK resorts on the local monorail. Also, the BW shares the bus with all the other Epcot resorts, FYI.

Another option is to take the boat (or walk) to MGM, then take the GF bus from there. Either way you have a connection. The MK-BW bus is likely your best bet for the return trip tho.

Yes, there is a bus to the MK from the BWV.

We always take the bus (rather than drive) to the MK because the bus drops you near the entrance. If yu drive you need to take a tram and then either the ferry or monorail. We drive to the AK, the waterparks, DD and other resorts. We walk (or boat) to EPCOT and MGM.

For the MK, we only take the monorail and walk through EPCOT if we want to experience the longer monorail ride and are not overly tired - it's a bit of a walk!!! We never go this way in the morning because we like to be at the entrance when the MK first opens. That's not possible if you go through EPCOT and catch the monorail.

Some here find the bus service at the BWV (and all of the EPCOT resorts for that matter) to be poor. We have (so far) found it to be satisfactory (but not great).

HTH.

I'd take a car(if you will be renting one) or call a cab.

If you take the bus, you have to go to the MK, then get on the monorail to get to the GF.

Car/cab is direct from BW to GF.

Thanks Everyone.

Love this idea! Thanks The plan is to go to 1900 PF for breakfast and then to BB. So we could always just grab the bus to BB from the GF

If the bus service is good, it is faster to take the bus. But that's a big if. I once timed a drive to MK from our OKW front door to the turnstile at MK. It was 25 minutes total using the tram and the express monorail, around 10:00 - 11:00am. On the other hand, you could be standing at the bus stop 15 or 20 minutes before even getting on the bus. Then it may make additional stops before it finally heads to MK (at OKW there are many stops. BWV usually is the last stop before MK). Then you may have to stand........
