Is there bus service directly to MK from VWL (m)

[OurDogCisco]

We visited VWL last May and loved the area and we are hoping to switch at the 7 month window. Anyways, we had lunch at Whispering Canyon Cafe. We took the boat from MK to the Wildnerness Lodge. It was a lovely boat ride but long. I wouldn't mind taking the boat home in the evening but not sure about the morning. So we took the bus back to MK. The bus driver told us that they were piloting a direct bus service to MK. This way you didn't have to take the bus to the Transportation and then, take the monorail to MK. So my question is: Did they keep the direct bus from VWL to MK?

Yes there is a bus ride too. I took it back in March one night when it was really cold and I didn't want to freeze to death on the boat. Not sure what hours it runs though, not completely sure it is an all day event. Be sure and check with Guest Services.

The bus runs the usual times for park buses. Around an hour before the park opens until around an hour after it closes. The bus is great. It is about a five minute ride.

Does this bus also stop at Fort Wilderness?

So am I understanding this correctly ? There is now a bus right in the MK that goes to the WL ? You don't have to board the monorail and then catch the "Boon" bus at the TTC anymore ? If so, this is a tremendous improvement.

No. It goes directly to MK.

The is correct. The bus to MK replaced the bus to the TTC.

i think the bus goes to FW before it arrives at WL.

We just returned from a stay at VWL- first trip as members! Every bus trip from WL to MK was direct. The route of other bus trips from WL to other destinations varied- sometimes going to FW first, other times going directly to the final destination.
