Getting to MK & AK from Dolphin?

[buckler23]

How much time should I plan on for the bus ride from the Dolphin to Magic Kingdom? How about to Animal Kingdom?

Thanks in advance!

If you are talking the actual drive-time I would say 10 minutes. If there is a potential for waiting for a bus I would suggest estimating a half-hour if you have plans.

If you want a different route one day and are not time-sensitive, then take the water taxi to Epcot (or walk), walk thru from the World Showcase gate to the front exit and take the monorail over. Time-consuming but it was oh so pleasant. It's nice in the morning when you are going along the one side of the World Showcase before it is actually open. Very peaceful.

It really depends on the time of day... In the morning, the busses will be running more frequently, depending on the demand.

Morning time busses are dispatched from the Disney-MGM Studios to the Epcot Resorts headed to all destinations. Typical morning routes would go Swan -> Dolphin -> (Boardwalk) -> Theme Park.

The actual ride time on the bus is about 12 minutes for the MK... and 17 minutes for DAK... (that includes a Blizzard Beach stopover)

Morning wait times should be no more than 10-15 minute intervals for the busses.
