Help- POP to various locations

[timandlesley]

O.K. we have ressie's at the Poly and Grand Floridan during our stay at POP. I was thinking taking the bus to EPCOT and then the monorail to these resorts would work, does the monorail you catch at Epcot go there? If so, how much time should I allow? thanks so much. Also, if not what is a better way to get there? Thanks.

If you take the bus to Epcot you would take the monorail to the TTC, get off that monorail and then take the resort monorail which will take you to the Poly and the GF.
You do not say if your reservations are for early in the day or evening. You might be better off getting the bus to the MK and then take the resort monorail from there or take the boat to either resort.
One thing I have found easy to go is to get a bus from the resort that I am staying in and then go to the nearest park from there, ie Animal Kingdom, from there get off the bus and then hop on the bus for the resort I want to go to, this seems to cut down on the travel time.
I would give yourself 45 minutes to an hour for travel time.

I would always recommend taking the bus to MK and then either a water shuttle or the monorail to either the GF or Polynesian. If you have the time to kill, then the Epcot monorail to TTC and then either walk, via the pathway, to the Polynesian or switch from the Epcot monorail line to the resort line and go to the resort of your choice. As far as the time to allow, I usually try to allow an hour for that sort of travel.

Do buses go from Pop Century to the TTC?

 

[goofy4tink]

I don't believe so. I don't think any resort buses go to the TTC. It used to be a great disbursement area. But now I think you really have to go to DTD. So, if that's too much trouble, and it is for me, I always go to the nearest park and then take the easiest transportation available to the resort I want to go to. For the Polynesian, CR or Polynesian I would get to MK and then go to my resort of choice.

None of the resort buses go to the TTC, except maybe the the Fort Wilderness bus from time to time.

Too bad that they don't, but MK is easy to get to and then a quick hop on the monorail to Poly or GF and a quick walk to Contemporary. We'll need to get to Chef Mickey's one morning from Pop and will walk over from the MK unless the bus driver drops us off at the CR (which I won't count on, of course).

the epcot monorail doesnt. take the epcot monorail to ttc (transportation and ticket center). get off there. go down the rmps and u will see the resort monorail on the other side of the little station. it will take u to poly, grand flor, and the contemarary. allow about one hours time if it is busy

hope this helped

 

[timandlesley]

Thanks. So to clarify. I take our bus from POP to MK which will take me to the TTC and then I get off there and find the resort monorail and take it? Are the separate resorts clearly marked? Hopefully staff will be around to answer questions.

Thanks!
