Leaving Polly after wishes?

[happycat]

Doing the double digit dance here!

My friend and I, her first time ever to the World, are going to O'Hana's for a ps at 7:30pm Tues in May and hoping for a window table for wishes at 9:30. My reasoing for 7:30 was that if we opted to wait for a window seat we might not be seated until 8pm or so. That's the plan anyway.

We plan to leave from Dolphin by bus to Mk, then the monorail to the Polly. I haven't really given much thought on the best way to leave. What's leaving the Polly like after wishes, if you want to take the monorail back to Epcot? Is it a mad dash or easy to do? Can you tell it's been awhile since I was at the world too? How would some of you get back to the Dolphin?

While you're at it what do you thinkg of the rest of the plan for our Tues night in the world?

This is going to be a real cool trip, I can feel it!

Epcot would be closed by then, I don't think they would allow you to walk through to get to the Dolphin. I would take the monorail to MK and then catch a Dolphin bus there. It will be crowded at the bus stops at MK. Or take a cab from the Poly. About the only thing open after that would be Downtown Disney/ Pleasure Island, you could catch a bus from the Poly to DD/PI, then a bus back to the Dolphin from there.

Isn't there a boat that goes from MK to Dolphin too?

Also, are the monorails packed or are they long waits at the poly after wishes?

There is no waterway connecting the Dolphin (Epcot area hotel) to the MK, so there's no boat.

The monorail from the TTC to Epcot shouldn't be too packed, but the monorail goes to the front entrance of Epcot, and you'd have to go through the park to get to the Dolphin. Since Epcot closes at 9:00, I don't think that will work.

The advice about using Downtown Disney as your connection is good, since DD is open really late and has buses going to all the hotels.

Alternatively, you could return to the MK after Wishes (by taking the launch from the Poly dock, or by taking the resort monorail), then catching the bus to the Dolphin. That's what I would do.

The bus will probably be packed, but that would probably be the quickest way to return to the Dolphin.

I think you are going to have a great trip!

Thanks for the replys.

It looks like the monorail or boat from the Polly and then the bus from MK. I am thinking this bus would stop at the Boardwalk or is that a different bus? We may just be in the mood to stop off at Jellyroll's before heading back to the Dolphin. This will be our last night, so got make it last.
