Getting to BRV and GFV from BWV - Bus or private vehicle?

[DduzDis]

We want to go see the BRV lobby and maybe grab a treat at Roaring Fork and then head to GFV for lunch and also check out the gingerbread house. Should we take the bus from BWV to MK and then bus or boat over to BRV and back or would we be able to park our car at BRV for an hour without any reservations for dining or lodging?

Prob wont be able to park,,,but what about parking at the TTC. Ride monorail to GFV, then take boat to BRV and boat back to TTC.

If the weather is nice, I would vote for taking the bus to MK and then taking a boat to WL. I just enjoy boat rides and take advantage of them when I can.

We went from BWV to Wilderness Lodge (or really any other resort) by taking Skyliner to DHS then jumping on a bus. You could walk or take the Friendship boats to DHS too.

Wow, I can't believe I never thought of this one. Probably makes more sense than MK. We actually like the walk to DHS from BWV anyway. We may have found our solution.

You likely will not be able to park your car at BRV absent a reservation at the resort and then only for three hours. As to Disney transport, BWV has the advantage of a bus stop fairly close to your room for going to MK and that bus is a direct trip (it does not stop at any other resort). If you do not mind the walk (or taking the boat) to DHS to catch the BRV resort bus there, you could do that too. Moreover, since VGF is your last stop, you could kind of do both: go to DHS to bus to BRV, and then when returning go to MK and take bus to BWV.

I was thinking that not having a reservation at BRV would be a hitch in the plan. But the backup plan is solid. I think we will likely go this route.
