Getting from MK or Epcot to Waterparks and AK

[graybow77]

My family and I are staying at the Omni for a conference that I have to attend..The Omni has a free shuttle to MK and Epcot (I thought it went to all parks).. anyway would be the best way for them to get from MK or Epcot drop off over to the water parks and AK. so basically they can take the bus to MK or Epcot then catch a Disney bus to the other parks i guess...Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks in advance..

I was going to say, bus to MK, walk to the Contemporary and take the Water Park bus

But, off site will probably bus to TTC. From there you could monorail to Poly and take a water park bus. (Or AK bus)

To AK, it may be more direct to bus to EPCOT and take an AK bus.

This may help:

It depends on what's more important to you...money or time. hehe. I would take a cab (which should run about $20ish, I think). Otherwise, you would have to take the shuttle to Epcot and then take a bus to to AK. Sometimes the AK bus will stop at Blizzard Beach...you can ask the driver (the stop is on the way, so s/he may do it for you). Typhoon Lagoon is actually walkable from the West Side area of Disney Springs (if you don't mind crossing a big street). I've done in plenty of times. Either way, I would say a cab is definitely the best way to go if it's affordable to you and your family.

Thanks I am sure there are plenty of ways around just looking for pro advice. Thanks

Yes, the offsite shuttle will go to TTC, not MK, so they're definitely better going to Epcot in most cases.

There's a direct bus from Epcot to AK, and a direct bus from Epcot to BB.

For TL, they can take a bus from Epcot to POFQ, and transfer there to the DS/TL bus. Or, they can go to TTC, walk or take the Resort Monorail one stop to Poly, and get a DS/TL bus there. The walk from the outside shuttle lot at TTC to the Poly bus stop is around 1/2 mi.

Walking from DS to TL is definitely not a good idea. There are 9 lanes of traffic to cross, with no crossing signal and no safe place to stop half way across. It is so unsafe that I would not be surprised if the sheriff starts giving out jaywalking tickets.
