Disney Easter Pre-Trip Report 4/18-4/24

[JeremysDisney]

There is "direct" transportation between all the WDW theme parks. Most routes are via Disney Buses. Here are the "park-to-park" Disney World Transportation direct connections:

MK > Epcot = Monorail to Transportation and Ticket Center. Switch to 2nd Monorail to Epcot.
MK > DHS = Direct Bus
MK > AK= Direct Bus

AK > DHS= Direct Bus
AK > Epcot= Direct Bus
AK > MK= Direct Bus

DHS > MK= Direct Bus
DHS > AK= Direct Bus
DHS > Epcot= Direct Bus (Epcot Front Gate) or Boat (Epcot Intl. Gateway)
......Boats ("Friendships") make 3 interim stops at the Epcot area resorts.

Epcot > MK= Monorail to Transportation and Ticket Center. Switch to 2nd Monorail to MK.
Epcot > AK= Direct Bus
Epcot > DHS= Direct Bus (Epcot Front Gate) or Boat (Epcot Intl. Gateway)
......Boats ("Friendships") make 3 interim stops at the Epcot area resorts.

The buses have their destinations shown on them on illuminated signs. The bus stops at the parks are also marked with signage. As a rule-of-thumb, allow 40-60 minutes to get from the gates of one park to the gates of another park.

Thanks OP Robo!

OP msmileyface quote:
"We are here at WDW currently and the crowds seem either similar or slightly lower than what I am used to in late June/early July. I am pleased, since I expected this week to be far worse."

Thank you OP for your update!

OP Thinking quote:
"Was at magic kingdom yesterday with about half of the US population -- and fast pass worked out perfectly!
Used FP+ in afternoon for Peter Pan, big thunder, space mountain and pirates. In every case the regular lines were ridiculous and we walked right on with zero wait. Pretty impressive on an extremely crowded day."

Thank you OP for your update!

We have been fortunate to go on a Disneyland, Disney World, and Disney Cruise Line vacation. Our favorite is the cruise, and we think it is Disney’s Best. So if you have not embarked on a Disney Cruise yet, we highly recommend it.

I started planning for this trip 4 weeks ago. I have done a lot research and feel pretty good about the plan. Nevertheless, the plan is subject to change and that is okay.

I learned a long time ago in Psychology 101 that planning for a vacation can be as fun as the vacation itself. I definitely had a lot of fun. Most importantly, I hope it helped.

Happy Easter!
