BWV to Hoop-de-doo

[JudithM]

My friend is planning her family trip to WDW the week after Thanksgiving. They are staying at the BWV & are planning to got to the Hoop one night. A CM told her to plan 30-45 minutes using Disney transportation. I think they should plan for more time. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

30-45 minutes seems awfully optimistic to me, considering that they would have to change buses at one of the parks, Downtown Disney, or the TTC to get there. I always allow at least an hour or more between resorts on the bus system. An alternative if they don't have a car or don't want to drive is a cab, which the front desk can get for them. Cab fare should be around $10-$12 for the trip each way.

30 - 45 minutes isn't enough time. The best way to go (using Disney transportation) would be to take a bus to MK, then take the boat to FW. You might be able to do this in 45 minutes, but this route assumes that you are going to the early dinner show and MK is still open and the boats are still running and you don't have to wait very long for a bus or boat.

Otherwise you would have to transfer twice. Take a bus to a park, transfer to a bus going to the TTC, then transfer to a Boone or Crockett bus. Total time - more than an hour.

Getting back could be worse. When the 9:00 p.m. Hoop De Doo show is over the theme parks are usually closed, leaving Downtown Disney as the only hub. You would have to go to the TTC, transfer to a DD bus, then transfer to a BW bus. Total time - more than an hour and a half.

The real best way to go is to take a taxi. It will cost about $10 and will take about 15 minutes. Allow extra time anyway and enjoy the petting farm, pony ride and other things to see at Fort Wilderness.
