How long does it take to get to MGM from Poly?

[alicenwonder99]

There has got to be a website that shows the approximate time it takes to get to a park from a resort. I'm specifically looking for about how long it will take to get to MGM from the Poly. This would be early evening in January. Also wondering if it would be quicker to drive there instead of waiting for the park bus.

Depends on how long you need to wait for the bus....

If you catch it right away, it should only take 15-20 minutes tops.

There are a few factors to even begin to compare.

Taking a bus:
Did you just miss the bus and you have to wait for another one? That could be 5-10 minutes.
How many people are getting on at the GF and how long do they sit there?
The bus ride over is about 15 minutes or less.

Driving:
The Polynesian parking lot is not very big so getting the car is not a factor.
The drive over is quicker with no stop at the GF.
Parking is free for resort guests.
Where do you get a parking spot and how long will it take to get to the entrance where the busses leave you off? That is the big time question in taking a car.

The bonus of the car is where you want to go after MGM and how fast. That is where the car can be a lifesaver.
