Is the bus ride from Beach Club to Downtown Disney and PI and long one? (Include wait times for the bus to pick you up too). THANKS!

I don't know about that resort but every other resort I've stayed at always seems to have a horribly long ride. At least at the CBR, WL, and the Poly.

It's the longest bus ride you'll take from the BC. It's a bit shorter in the night, since it doesn't stop at Typhoon Lagoon at this time. But it's not that long, really, and I enjoy it, since you get to see parts of WDW you may never see otherwise if you're staying at an Epcot resort. I think once all the pick-ups are done, it's less than 20 minutes to DTD.

Depend on when you will be there and how busy WDW is at that time. We were just there the last week of Aug. and I think we waited about 5- 10 minutes for the bus, then about 15 - 20 minute ride to DTD.

We had much longer waites at the MK after Wishes. Sometimes it took 15 minutes or more for a bus. And that is at least a 20 minute ride.

Thanks everyone!!! While I am staying at the Poly on the 23rd (hurricanes aside hopefully), I will be visiting Beaches and Cream and maybe going to PI afterwards. So that's why I wondered how busy it would be in late September and how long people usually wait for that sort of thing. It seems the busses are better at some resorts than at others (from what people tell me). I like to get where I have to go fast to maximize my fun time. Since I have the monorail at where I'm staying I hope it's fast and easy. But the bus to DTD is the one I was concerned about.
Anybody have experience with late September bus waits from either Poly or BC?

During the evening hours, buses will run Yacht -> Beach -> Marketplace -> Pleasure Island. Buses run every 15 minutes, give or take, and the average trip is 15 minutes, give or take traffic lights. Not a long ride by any means.
