Dolphin to Downtown Disney

[MousekeMom]

Hi All,
My husband will be staying at the Dolphin in December (4-6) for a business convention. He won't have a lot of time to do anything, but he wants to go to Downtown Disney. What is the quickest way to get there? Should he get to one of the Parks, like DHS or EPCOT and take a bus from there? Or just take the bus from the Dolphin? I heard it can take about 45 min. to get there with all the stops the bus does on the way there, so I'm hoping there is a quicker way to get there. (I am also very sad and jealous that he is going and I'm not. ) I'm hoping he will bring something back for us if he goes to World of Disney. Thanks for your help in advance.

45 min. is a reasonable estimate from the time he arrives at the bus stop, but most of that is waiting for the bus and drive time to DTD. Only 10-15 minutes is usually spent on stopping at the other resorts.

There are no buses from the parks to DTD, anyway.

Just tell him to take the DTD bus-probably the only logical way to get there with all the road construction down there anyway- don't go to a park first, no buses go from parks to DTD - It all depends on how long it takes, but it's like taking the bus anywhere on property, just relax and enjoy the ride

Thank you to both of you for your help. I'll just make sure he knows how much time it will take so he can plan for it.
