Would I need to take the bus to Cape May from DHS, or is there another way to get there? Those buses were so packed last year during free dining, we would like to avoid them when possible.
The boat is nice, but you can also walk. I can't give you a good time estimate for the walk. It isn't a short walk, but it isn't too bad a stroll if you don't want to wait on the boat. Your ability to walk also depends on the weather and your party - young/older members, etc. Someone here will be able to give a better estimation of the length of the walk. I just wanted to let you know that is an option.
There is no bus to BC where Cape May is located. You can take the boat or do the 10-20 minute walk. Last year dh and I walked back to the BC right after Fantastmic (sp?) got out. We beat the boat back to BC that had pulled up to MGM as we were walking out.
