Unfortunately my family and I have been asked to switch resorts for our upcoming trip (Aug 20 - 27) at AKL. :sad1: AKL is our favorite resort and the only one that we really like to stay at, so we are considering telling our travel agent that we would prefer not to switch at all. However, I thought I would come here and ask for some more opinions first.
The resorts we are deciding between are BC, Contemporary, and WL. So here are my questions:

1. I like the theme of the WL the best out of those choices but I have heard that the transportation to all parks besides MK is really bad b/c it shares buses with other resorts. Is the transportation really that bad? Which resort would you say has the best transportation?

2. Which resort would you choose?

This is so hard for my family and I. We really had our hearts set on AKL! Thanks so much for all the help.
 
Well, I believe WL only shares buses with Fort Wildnerness. The Contemporary will share buses with the Poly and GF and Beach Club will share with Boardwalk and the Swan Dolphin. So they all share buses at times. If the WL appeals to you the most as far as theming, thats what I would go with. Frankly, buses are hit or miss at ALL the resorts, so I would never stay or not stay at one based solely on buses. Good luck, I feel so bad for you and all the other AKL guests, what a shame. I hope you still have a great trip!
 
I would stay at the WL if that is your desire and it most closely resembles the AKL of the others. Don't let bus service be your guide, besides, with the boat service to the MK you can also make ride arrangements from there and not just from the resort. Also, you can take the boat to the MK and then take the monorail to Epcot. Once you are at Epcot you can take another boat to MGM studios, which only leave AK out, but this is beginning to sound directions on how to avoid a traffic back-up in the city only to drive twice as far and take twice as long!
:rotfl2:
 
We love WL and I have never found the transportation to be bad there. We love the boats and the buses never seemed any worse there than at any other resort we've stayed at.
 

We stayed at WL in Jan. the transportation was great. As a matter of fact there were buses going to MK as well as the boat :) We didn't have any problems at WL and are going back:thumbsup2
 
We have stayed at all three and although we LOVE the WL we only like to stay there in Dec..I know we are weird right?? BC is the best because of location..I like to walk to Epcot, MGM and the BW. Not impressed with Contemporary at all, would not stay there again
 
We love the Wl and you really cant go wrong with it. However, if translportation is your thing, then stay at the BC. Its a walk into Epcot and a boat ride over to MGM, so you would need the busses the least. Plus BC is also wonderful and more expensive than AKL. So if they are moving you to the BC for the price of the AKL, then take the deal, while its offered.
 
I would say BC. Pool is great, location is better. I would not pick WL because it is much less expensive than BC or others, so if you are going to get a free upgrade, get the one that will give you the biggest jump. :thumbsup2
 
Thanks so much for all the responses! After lots and lots of debate, my family and I will be staying at BC. I really do like the feel of WL the best, but my family has decided to use this as an opportunity to stay somewhere that we would never be able to afford. Plus, being able to walk to Epcot sounds wonderful since I love the World Showcase, and my brother is extremely excited about the pool. However, I'm still going to really miss AKL!
 
I think you made a great choice! And you are right, use this opportunity to experience something you might not otherwise do. Being so close to Epcot is wonderful, the walk to both parks is very pleasant along the river. Have a wonderfu trip!
