Disney Bus questions

[duketennisgal]

Hey everybody, my sister and I will be flying down on 6/23 and I am a bit worried about transportation. We have been coming to disney every year for about 5 years or so and we have driven every time. The first year we came down we started off taking busses to the parks but used our car for everything else, for the past couple of years we just used our car for everything. Now we won't have one and I'm not sure how we will be getting to our reservations at other hotels!

I'm trying to figure this out so if anybody could help me that would be greatly appreciated.

Our first night we will be leaving straight from our hotel to go to dinner at Concourse. I am assuming that I will catch a bus to the Magic Kingdom then hop on the monorail to the contemporary, is that correct? Or do I catch a bus to the ticket and transportation center?

Then on the 25th we will be eating at Whispering Canyon? How exactly would we get there from Coronado Springs?

We should be ok with the rest of our reservations as they are actually in the parks.

Thanks for your help - sorry for the long winded post!

To get to the Contemporary, the easiest thing to do is to take the bus to MK and then either walk to Contemporary (not far at all, maybe 5 minutes) or take the monorail (first stop). To get to Wilderness Lodge, you can take the bus to MK and take the boat to WL or you can take the bus to any other park and hop a bus to WL, the problem with taking the bus to WL is that it often stops at other resorts first so you take a lot of time up sitting on the bus.

You'll be able to find your way to the hotels just fine.

I like the idea of taking the boat to the WL, any idea how long of a ride that is?

about 10-15 minutes, not bad at all.

It takes about 20 minutes. You might find that once you get use to the transportation you never use your car again. We drive down from pensacola and once we park we never use the car again.

To get to WL, your best bet is to take the bus to the MK. Then transfer to the bus for the WL.

That bus only stops at WL.
