How is the bus service at VWL?

[kaytieedid]

I am wondering how the bus situation is at WLV. We stayed at Bay Lake a few years ago and the only place that is easy to get to from there is the Magic Kingdom. The bus to Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom were kind of nightmares. We had to share with the Polynesian and the bus was PACKED. The poor people at the Poly had a full bus pulling up and most had to wait for another one.
thanks!!

it can share with CR/BLT, Polyn, GF, and it did share with FW.
so it depends upon where you are going.
for the MK - don't think the bus shares.
that say the boat is definitely more fun.

you were lucky if you only have to share with Polyn when staying at CR/BLT - had to share with Polyn and GF - and boy GF is not close to any of the other hotels... the bus took forever and kept having to wait on traffic. think that was for dd?

thank you! What about to get to EPCOT? Is there a boat/bus to the TTC or is there a bus that goes to EPCOT?

you can ride the bus -

or you can take the boat to CR and ride the monorail - have to change at TTC.

there was a bus to TTC - but pretty sure it is gone.

On our most recent stays at VWL the Epcot bus was shared with FW. The DHS and AKV busses were shared with GF and the AKV bus (like all the resorts) would have a stop at Blizzard Beach if it was open. MK bus is direct or of course you can take the boat.

Overall I have found the bus service to be slightly better than CR for whatever reason I don't know. And better than the Epcot resorts. If you think about OKW and SSR they have multiple stops but they all occur within the resort. And AKV now has 2 stops also. There just isn't a deluxe resorts that has a single stop anymore.

We had great bus service at VWL we only stopped at FW and sometimes the Poly. The buses were never packed and we never waited long last month.

Bus device is probably one of the best out of all the resorts. Direct routes w/limited stops at other resorts.
