how do I get there from our resort?

[chrissyb2411]

Ok, so I booked several ADR's at resorts, and just want to make sure I know how to get to them. And how long I should give us to get there. We leave in 10 days

We are staying at Carribean Beach.

1.We have an ADR at Boma in AK lodge. This is the one I am the most unsure of. I think we will need to take a bus from our resort to AK then hop on the bus to AK lodge?

2. We have an ADR at poly, contemporary and the grand floridian. These are all monorail resorts correct? So if we hop the bus to MK and go to the transportation and ticketing center? And is that right at MK or do we have to get there some special way? And we are doing Epcot after breakfast at the contemporary, can we just hop the monorail over or do we need to go back to TTC and hop a bus?

Thanks in advance!

First, are you excited for your trip? We leave tomorrow, so I know the feeling.

Now for your questions. Are you having dinner at Boma? As long as you aren't having breakfast, you should be fine to just take the bus to AK and then a bus to AKL. Technically, you could really take the bus to any of the parks and then get on a bus to AKL, but AK seems to be the easiest because it's closer to AKL. Being at CBR, you are close to Epcot so you could ride the bus to Ecpot and hop a bus there to AKL too. However, if you're having breakfast at Boma, that changes everything. You'll need to take a cab. Buses do run early enough to get you to AK about 8:00 or so, but it's such a hassle and much MUCH easier to just hop in a cab.

As for your MK resort tour, you'll want to take the bus to MK and then take either the monorail or the ferry to the resorts. You shouldn't have to go to the TTC unless you're going to Epcot. There is a monorail that runs directly to the resorts from MK. If you want to go from the resorts to Epcot after, then you'll want to take the monorail to the TTC and transfer to the Epcot monorail.

Good luck and have fun!

1. If AK is still open at that time, then yes just bus to AK and then transfer to the AKL bus.

2. If the MK is open at the time, bus to MK and then either monorail or boat to CR, Poly, or GF.
After breakfast at CR monorail to TTC ( the 1st stop) and transfer to the Epcot monorail.
The bus from CBR to MK will drop you off at the entrance to MK not the TTC.

You could also take the first park bus that come to CB then transfer at the park to the AKL bus. The only one I wouldn't take is the MK bus since you would be going way out of the way.

For the monorail resorts, you could do the same thing. Take the the first park bus that comes (HS, Epcot, or MK) then transfer to the bus to your resort if you are at HS or Epcot. If MK, take the monorail as stated above...

OK, got it. My DS is going to want to do the monorail, so we will hop a bus to MK for at least one of those ressies.

As for the AK lodge, it is a breakfast ADR at 940. AK opens at 900 that day, so I imagine it could be doable? I wouldn't mind a cab, but I have a 2 year old, and she needs a car seat if we cab or car it. Way too much hassle! I actually have way too many breakfast ADR's anyway, so was thinking of changing a few. I really want to visit AK lodge though, its my ultimate want to stay there some day resort. And gotta see the holiday decor

9:40 is doable, but you need to take one of the first buses to AK that day. I do mean the 8:00 bus, which isn't ideal with kiddos, but doable. Hop on the 8:00 or the first AK bus you see close to 8:00 (they start running about an hour before the park opens), that'll get you to AK within about 15 minutes. Walk over to the AKL stop and if you don't have a bus taking you to AKL within 15 minutes, you need to let one of the transportation people floating around know you're waiting for the AKL bus.

Have fun!
