Is there a chart that shows transportation times to the parks from each resort?

Spending equal time between MK and Epcot. We like the GF, the Poly, and the BC.

Poly seems most convenient with the TTC being right there. However DH isn't so sure he likes the poly all that much.

The BC is nice, too, but I'm concerned about bus transportation to and from the MK (especially with two children, 8 and 4)

Love the GF, but not sure about transportation time to Epcot- do we switch monorails???

Is there a spreadsheet or a chart that can show me the transportation options and travel times to and from the resorts?

Thanks!

Not really. Transportation is a very fluid thing at WDW. No one resort is going to give you perfect transportation. With the deluxes, you will find that there is usually one really great transportation option......the CR, Polynesian and GF offer direct monorail service to MK. Polynesian and GF also offer boat service, while CR offers the ability to walk to the MK.
At BC/YC, BW, S/D, you can walk or boat to Epcot and DHS.
But, bus transportation at these resorts suffers. And if you want to go to Epcot from any of the MK resorts (CR, Polynesian or GF) you have to take the monorail to the TTC (or walk from the Polynesian) and then transfer to the Epcot line.
I don't find the bus service at the Epcot resorts all that bad. But..I'm usually not in a hurry. Yes, you share with othe resorts, but that's just the way it works.
Depends on what you want and need. If I had to choose a MK resort, it would be CR. Why? Because the monorail stops at the TTC right after the CR. And you can walk to the MK if you want.

The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World has a transportation timetable in their guide. I have found it to be quite realistic.

Yep, that one is good, but it's really for those with cars.

NOOOOOOOOO...don't do it!!! Okay, maybe a bit extreme but...this site is out of date in some of it's info. Yes, some is correct, but there are still places there where the info is just plain wrong. IF you don't know what you're doing, you could be led badly astray.
Really...ask here...let us know where you need to get to, and from where, and we can head you in the right direction.

Yah, I just took a look at it, and I thought maybe it seemed a little off!

I'll stick with DIS!

The chart in the Unofficial Guide sounds like exactly what the OP seeks. It shows time ranges for car transportation and bus/Disney transportation, and explains how it arrived at those numbers. It's two pages and can be easily copied; it doesn't change (substantially) from year to year, so any recent edition from one's local library can be used to make your own take-along page.
