Bus transportation around WDW...

[TEK224]

Will be at WDW in mid-Sept. I will have a car, but thought of using the buses some days instead. I've read through some threads, but I'm still trying to figure out some things.

1. If going to an EE park or an early breakfast, what time do the buses start picking up at the resorts?

2. If I drive to the TTC or a park for an EE day, what time will the parking lot open and will I be able to get on the monorail to get to MK?

3. If visiting the BW area in the evening (by bus), do I have to take a bus to DtD and then get a bus to my resort?

4. How late do the buses run from DtD to the resorts?

I think that's it for now.

Thanks!
Terri

I'll see if I can answer your questions and earn some more points towards my purple pants. If I screw up I'm sure Tyler will correct me.

1. Drivers get to their busses at 7:00. After the busses pass inspection, they leave the depot.

2. IMO do not drive to the MK. Take a bus. You will be dropped off in front of the MK and have a chance to see the rope drop. Anyway you will beat everybody coming by monorail.

3. If it is much past 10:00 that is correct. if before that, suggest walking (or taking the boat if Fantasmic is at 9) to MGM and taking a bus from there.

4. I believe the drunk bus leaves at 2:00 A.M.

LOL... I like that. (And only because I don't have to drive it!!)

For the most part, buses start running between 7:00-7:15am. Depends on your exact location, and whatnot.

TTC opens at 7:00am, and you'd have to take the Resort Monorail in. Personally, I'd take the bus. Drops you off right at the gate.

As for the Boardwalk... if you're going to drink, then take the bus. You will need to transfer at either the Studios or DTD. If you're not going to drink, and have a car, use that. Resort hopping is easier with one.

I didn't know the buses started at 7:15. That'll work out fine.

Don't think I'll need the "drunk Bus". Not this time anyway. I'll probably baby-sit while niece and ber BF take PI and BW by storm.
