Getting to Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach

[ShayBells]

There is so much different info out there about bus stops and especially about buses to the water parks, so I can't find anything concrete. I am going to one of the water parks (haven't decided which yet) but I know I am going to do MK in the morning than head over to Blizzard Beach right after lunch. Is there a bus at MK that goes directly to the water parks? Or if not what is my best option for getting there, go back to my resort (beach club) and take the bus (if that's even possible), or get on the monorail and take a bus from one of those hotels? Thanks!

If you are at MK, I would just walk over to the Contemporary and take the bus from there. The water park routes can be weird though and may have stops depending on the time of day. I don't know all the specifics.

I honestly recommend doing the water parks earlier as they really get crowded by noon or so. If you just want to use the wave pool or lazy river though you're all good.

Hopefully a mod can move to the transportation board, you may get better info.

If this were me, I would cab/uber to save time if possible.

I'm not 100% sure of the latest status but Disney jacked the water park bus routes from the resorts last year sometime. For instance, from Poly to get to BB we had to take a bus to AK, then transfer to a bus to BB. For TL, you had to take a bus to DS then transfer to TL. I am not sure if this is still the case or what it's like from other resorts. Again, hopefully someone on the transportation board can help.

Good luck!

What? I'm hoping the buses from resort to waterparks are running.
If not that's crazy.

Last June the TL bus was not running from BW, it was some crazy route. We did not even mess with it. We took a cab, saved us a lot of hassle and time. There were plenty of cabs at TL to take us back to our resort.

Uber or Taxi!

From what I heard, this is the current route. We are planning to do both waterparks in August, so I have been trying to pay attention.

Thanks. Yeah, they started this last year and I hate it! I'm in the cab/uber camp on the waterparks for now unless this changes - transferring/changing busses is such a time suck.

I guess I'll be driving to waterparks...

We had to take the resort bus to Animal Kingdom first, then another bus to Blizzard Beach. However I don`t find the bus rides to be inconvenient at all, I like the enforced relaxation.

Thanks everyone! It sounds like a cab is our best bet But it also sounds like it might not even be worth it. Lots to think about. Thanks again!
