How long of a bus ride from All Star Movie Resort to parks?

[Kari710]

We are staying at the All Star Movie resort and to take the bus to, say, Epcot, how long of a ride is that? I know it could depend on time of year, but I'm just curious of an estimate. We will be there at the end of March (on Sunday morning we will take a bus to Epcot, Monday morning to Animal Kingdom, Tuesday morning to Magic Kingdom)

I read in a book that it can take over 45 minutes, and I was a little surprised at that. Then again, I really think WDW is a LOT bigger than I am thinking.

And what do I do with my 18 month old on the bus ride? Do they have carseats or will we have to hold the little worm??

Thanks!

The farthest park from the Allstar resorts is the MK, it took about 20 minutes to get to the MK. It was about 15 minutes to EPCOT about the same to DHS, and about 10 minutes to the AK.
The buses do not have seat belts so you do not have anything to attach the car seat to and there are no type of car seats in the bus.

Yep, as PP said, 20-25 minutes tops. Bear in mind you may have to wait 10-15 for a bus to begin with depending on when the last one has come through. We took DD when she was 2 and I think the bus rides were part of her favorite thing of the whole trip. She talked to everyone and was quite the ham. She had travel Disney Color Wonders to color with as well though we didn't get them out much. I held her on a full bus but if it wasn't she got her own seat and thought she was very big. Course I had hold of the back of her t-shirt to keep her from sliding around. Oh, and make sure you have your stroller all folded up and ready to go on the bus when you see it coming. Saves time and keeps people from getting all Grumpy at you too.

Sometimes the buses are standing room only, so be prepared for that.

ok, thanks so much!!

I'm pretty quick at getting the stroller empty and folded by myself even, and I'll have a bunch of helping hands with me, (group of 13 going, and my sisters and Mom always want to help) So, I'll have that thing folded in a jiffy.

Thanks again, that's good to know. 20 - 25 min isn't too bad

But I hope we won't have to stand :/

DH and I have used Disney transportation eclusively the last 10 years (except for one dinner at Cali Grill where we drove in 2004--but who's counting). I always take that opportunity to look at landscaping and I enjoy watching other peoples reactions as they talk about the day. It is always great to seat across from a First Timer and ask them, " so how do you like it so far?" So bus rides are part of our day and are built into the experience. No one has ever complained.
