Epcot Resort Bus pickup order

[RedSonya]

I'll be staying at the Beach Club next week and spending 2 days at MK and 2 days at AK. I know the Beach Club shares a bus with other resorts in the Epcot area. Is there a standard order for pick up and drop off? Or should I just get off the bus at the first drop off and walk back to the beach club? Also, does anyone know the estimated Lyft fee to get to MK and AK from BC? TIA

Most buses will stop only at the Yacht Club & Beach Club. The 2 lobbies are connected, so you could get off at YC, but I don't think it will save you time unless there is a wheelchair or ecv getting on or off. You can't always tell where the wheelchair is getting off, but if you see one rolling up to the rear door, I'd bail.

Some buses will stop at Swan, Dolphin, Yacht, Beach, & BW. But I think the walk from Swan to BC is at least 5 minutes, so again I would just stay on unless there's a wheelchair or scooter involved.

Here's the Lyft fare estimator:

You don't want to take Lyft to MK. They will drop you off at the Ticket & Transportation Center. You will then need to get on the ferry or the monorail to MK. You can request that Lyft drop you off at C ontemporary Resort. Then you could walk (about 5-10 minutes) to MK or take the monorail.

Your other choices would be to catch Disney bus transportation from resort to MK. Or, you can order a Minnie Van, they will drop you off in the area of the buses. Minnie vans cost approximately twice as much as regular Lyft.

Back in Jan 2018 the bus was serving YC/BC the other bus was serving BW & S/D. I think it's pretty rare to share the YC/BC bus. Ride.guru will let you compare Lyft & Uber rates from any destination. But be aware, if you're not, that neither ride share service will get you to MK, they have to drop you off at TTC or you can have them take you to Contemporary or Bay Lake Towers, only the Minnie Vans or the bus can pick you up right outside of MK.

I took a Lyft from Beach Club to Animal Kingdom last month. Left Beach Club at 9:22 am, arrived Animal Kingdom at 9:36 am. Cost was $11.10.

I also took a Lyft from the Contemporary to the Beach Club. Left Contemporary at 2:59 pm, arrived Beach Club at 3:15 pm. Cost was $10.05.

Lyft often has discounts, but I did not get any discounts that week.

To get to the parks, buses always stop at Yacht Club before Beach Club. Some people walk over to Yacht Club for a better chance of getting on the bus.
