Experts...help me strategize this please

[MIALIAS]

Staying at beach club and will have a car.

Going out for a night from 8-midnight.

Would like to go to blt...poly...wilderness lodge for drinks and apps.

Fireworks will probably be 10pm?

How do I plan the evening. Do I use a car? Where do I park? And what order do I go in.

Thank you so much!

would ride the MK bus to the MK - then take the monorail to BLT and Polyn - take the boat to WL
tell us when you are going - the fireworks are different for certain times of the year.
and when you are bar hopping - you would need a night when the MK is open for emh at night

if you can not to park your car in any of these hotels unless you have a dinner reservation - then you might be turned away. besides you don't want to be stop for drunk driving in Florida.
so I would not bring my car.

My limit is 1 drink day so I would drive my car and valet at each resort. I would go WL, then BLT, then Poly for fireworks, or WL, Poly, and BLT for fireworks.

The parking can be a problem, we've been turned away from Poly when wanting to eat counter service at a busy time, so if going when its busy, or drinking more than a couple cocktails, I agree with spiceycat, bus, boats and monorail probably would be best.

I guess you could go park at MK lot first if needed, but it would take time, and you need to to know how late Disney transportation is open. When you say 10pm for fireworks I assume you're going during a busy time!

 

[spiceycat]

I agree with Tink415 schedule - do WL first, then BLT (you can ride the boat from WL to BLT) then take the monorail to the Polyn.

 

[JennyDrake]

I would use WDW transportation.

 

[Babsy]

Yes, use WDW transportation so bus to the MK then walk to CR and boat to WL. From WL boat to CR and then monorail to Poly. Finally use boat or monorail from Poly back to MK to get bus back to BC.

Sounds like fun! Enjoy!

Bay lake is gonna be a dead end...
You can't access the top of the world lounge unless you are staying in bay lake. Sometimes they are running periods where you can go if you're a DVC member staying on DVC points during that stay...but I don't know how/when the policy shifts.

It's not crowded - other than for 15 minutes...

But they still don't open it up to general public.

for 2015 you can access Top of the world lounge as a DVC member staying anywhere on property. Instead of BLT you could do a lounge at Contemporary- but I highly recommend more time spent at Trader Sams at the Poly

so...

if I park at WL - then take boat to BLT - then monorail to POLY - how do I get from Poly to WL.

or am I better off taking a cab to WL and a cab back to beach club from poly?

 

[Tink415]

Take boat from poly to mk then boat to wl this all assumes transportation is still running. Or take a cab from poly to wl. So many options. Lol. Have fun!

 

[spiceycat]

just go back - take the monorail to the MK - then bus back to WL (WL has both the boat and bus to MK)

 

[MIALIAS]

trying to avoid the bus...
