If you have a car drive and park in the lovely parking lot!
If not from grand Floridian take MonoRail to Magic Kindom walk a few feet to boat launch and its a few minutes right to the Lodge.
From Pop century you take the Bus!
 
From GF there should be a boat (I believe).
From Pop, take a bus to TTC, transfer to monorail resort, and boat it to FW.:)

sorry but she's going to WL not FW..
No direct boat from GF to WL… and no need to go from POP to TTC bla bla..just get a bus fro POP right to WL
 
Several ways.

From Grand Floridian: Take the monorail to MK. You have a couple of options from there. A shuttle boat goes to WL, and there is also a direct bus to WL. Don't count out the bus. At times it can be faster than the boat, because it is direct to WL and it's just a short distance.

From Pop Century: Take the bus to MK. Switch to the bus or boat.

You can't take a bus to TTC. Resort buses do not go there. No direct buses between resorts, so you can't take a bus directly from Pop to WL. You have to switch at a park, and MK is the closest by far.

Do not use Downtown Disney as a bus hub unless you have no other options.

There is no bus from POP to WL!!!

However, archery lessons are at the campground, which is Fort Wilderness, which is different than WL.


To get to FW
From GF: Take monorail to MK and take boat to FW.
From POP, take any theme park bus and then switch busses to FW.

I'm pretty sure there are buses throughout WDW direct to WL from everywhere no need to switch at MK…and I have found the two direct boats one big one small leave every ten minutes right to WL first….
 
Sorry, no. There are no buses between Wilderness Lodge and Pop Century. And yes, sometimes they do run smaller and larger boats when they have crowds, but it's usually the large boat.

There's also a boat launch that runs between the Contemporary, Fort Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge.

365 days a year they run two small boats all day til closing right to the lodge and two big boats staggered.. it takes about 15 minutes either way,,this I know for a fact… and I'm pretty sure there are inter resort busses as well… but not positive about that one.

LOL Maybe OP thinks WL and FW are the same?? I'm glad it's not me.
 
Sorry, no inter-resort buses anywhere except for resorts on the same bus line (if you're on the DTD route, the 5 Epcot resorts will share a bus, for example).

Pop Century and Wilderness Lodge are not on the same bus line, no buses between them.

If the OP is in fact going to Fort Wilderness instead of Wilderness Lodge, I'd guess the best way to do that is catch the boat from MK. All the other stuff I said was assuming they were going to Wilderness Lodge and not Fort Wilderness (they are 2 different places).

Are there inter-resort buses to Fort Wilderness? Never heard of that, except when they sent buses to take people home from the Hoop de Doo.

HA HA…
Monorail from GF to MK or Contemp….boat to Ft wilderness….
Are we absolutely sure no inter resort busses? Or must you stop where? TTC? someone said no. MK new bus depot from POP and then change busses to FW?
I remember clearly taking inter resort busses but that was in 06
 
No inter resort buses.
No resort buses at TTC. Not even Fort Wilderness.

This has changed from the old days.

I don't think so.

Can you imagine the number of bus stops that would take at each resort?
(Not to mention the number of buses.)
Look how many stops there are at the theme parks.
The resorts offer about 3-6 bus positions at the main stops.

In 2006,
there were at least 18 resorts on-property.

The Archery Experience is at Fort Wilderness, at the Bike Barn in the Meadows Recreation Area.

From GF:
  1. Monorail to ML
  2. Bus from MK to WL
  3. Bus from WL to Fort Wilderness.
From Pop:
  1. Bus to either Epcot or DHS
  2. Bus to WL
  3. Bus from WL to FtW
The bus from WL to FtW stops at the Meadows Recreation Area (not the 1st stop.) Ask the driver where to get off for the Bike Barn.

You can also take the boat from either MK or CR as PP's said, but that will drop you about 2/3 mi. from the Bike Barn. You can either walk, or take either the Yellow or Orange internal bus. If you walk, pick up a map at either the Trading Post (right by the dock) or at the ticket window next to the restrooms at Trails End.
