Moving from park, restaurant, back to resort without car

[prestonsmomma]

I need to figure out to get from AK to WCC and back to ASSports without a vehicle. Anyone have a clue?? There has to be a way like catch a bus from AK to WL then a bus back to MK and a bus back to the resort. Sounds confusing but I'm pretty sure that would work. Someone please tell me there is a way to do this.

Yes, from AK take the resort bus to WL. From WL take the boat to MK and then get on resort bus to ASsports. Or take the bus from MK to TTC.

From Animal Kingdom, pick up the bus to wilderness lodge. Eat at WCC. The boat to MK docks at the back of the resort. From the MK boat dock, the resort buses are off to the right.

I don't think there are resort buses from the TTC.

Last week we ate at WCC after a morning at MK. After our meal we wanted to return to POR so we decided to take a taxi. We inquired at the bellhop desk and they said they would call a taxi. Instead one of their valets gave us a lift. When he dropped us off we asked what the charge was and he said "No charge." We did tip him. I don't know if this is usual or not. Otherwise catching the bus at MK will work.

Other posters (OP) are correct.

Give your self plenty of time to get from AK to WL. AK seems to have the longest wait for busses of any of the other parks. As you leave AK and you are walking to the bus stops, take the right hand lane, this goes to the WL Bus stop (check the signs too, since Disney has a tendency to change things).

After dinner take the boat over to MK (if MK is still open this late). It's a nice ride. If the boat wait is too long, you can also take a boat to the Contemporary (these are the smaller boats) and walk to MK. Go through the Contemporary resort and out the front door. Very easy walk.

I had to do something similar last week. I agree with most of the posts about taking the Bus from AK to WL, but I strongly suggest taking a taxi from WL to ASSp. It will only cost about 15$ with tip and it is well worth it since it only takes 12-15 via taxi. Via the buses back to ASSp it could take up over an hour.

Only one I know about is the SOG which is actually pretty convenient!

After your dinner at WCC, I would take the boat to MK. There is a bus from WL to MK USUALLY. But while you are at WDW (if I read your ticker right), there will be some construction which will make the bus go between WL and the TTC (not MK). Then you would have to monorail or ferry over to MK to take the resort bus.

The Mrs. and I would do it totally different (If time permitted). You take the AK bus to WL then take the boat to MK. Monorail to TTC, Monorail to EPCOT, then bus to AAS. If time permitted, go from EPCOT to MGM via boat, then bus to AAS. (But be careful of the time!)

We tried doing something like that once from MGM to POR by way of EPCOT. Got a nice quite boat ride, not just to the International Gateway, but, all the way to the boat landing at Canada. Then went to the Bus stop and had to wait 20 minutes for them to find us a bus. We cut it very close.


If we had been staying at the Poly, we could have taken the Monorail.

HEY! Maybe she would go for another go at that trip! (Only earlier!)

Was this after Epcot closed? Since you bypassed the turnstyles.

There is a terribly long walk from the monorail exit, down to Security search, through the ticket gates, up to and under Space Ship Earth, past the fountain in FW, over the bridge to WS, past Canada, past UK, down the pathway to the International Gateway, walk out the exit to the boat-ramp, and wait for the boat, and (finally) board the boat.
(20-30 minutes, depending on your walking speed and where the boat was at your arrival time.)

Then, ride the boat to Yacht and Beach Club-slowly dock/tie-up to dock/un-load/load/reverse from dock and off again, to Boardwalk-slowly dock/tie-up to dock/un-load/load/reverse from dock and off again, to Swan and Dolphin-slowly dock/tie-up to dock/un-load/load/reverse from dock and off again,slowly over to MGM's dock.
(30 full minutes.)

Then, walk from the boat dock to the bus stop and wait for the All Star bus.
(5-25 minutes.)
That's a LOT of time and walking!
(And, yes, we have done all stages of this many times... just not "all-at-one-time").

Are you SURE about that?
Canada does not have a boat dock, but there IS one between Canada and the bridge to FW. Its where the Friendships dock that "bounce" between the "near" and "far" side of the WS Lagoon.

Like "betterlatethannever" said, I don't see how that could ever be possible if the park is open. You'd have to have your ticket "scanned" for admission (and FP) purposes.

Yeh...they had just closed, and the Captain had to dock the boat at Canada anyhow. We have APRs so we were prepaired to go through the turnstyles anyway. The main problem was we were late for the Bus. They got us one.

I didn't stay it was a good idea.

everyone else told you how to do it, but just remeber that its a vacation. Have fun. We ran all over the property without a car and had a blast. My six year old son thought the buses, boats and monorails were as fun as the rides in the parks. Just try to keep some perspective and see it through the kids' eyes.
