I am looking for the best way to get to RD for each of the four parks using Disney transportation. We are staying at the GF - July 23-27. The plan is HS on 24th, MK on 25th, Epcot on the 26th and AK on the 27th. Thanks for any and all help.

To get to MK, just take the monorail. For Epcot, you are going to have to monorail to the TTC and then transfer to the Epcot monorail...figure on that taking up to 35 mins or so. For DHS and AK, take the bus.

Best way? Or cheapest? The best, and quickest way, is to take a cab. It's under 5 mins by cab, and costs around $10. Otherwise, bus to DHS and then boat or walk to S/D, then across the street to Fantasia Gardens. By bus it will take at least an hour.

This summer, the Resort Monorail is opening a 8:30 a.m. The Epcot Monorail is opening at 9:30 a.m.

That should be early enough to get to MK for park opening, but maybe not for the Welcome Show. Buses should be running from GF to MK for earlier access.

To get to Epcot rd, one will first have to get to TTC and then transfer to the bus running from TTC to Epcot (unless there's a bus I haven't heard about running direct to Epcot.) The Resort Monorail at 8:30 probably will not be early enough. There will be buses running from the MK resorts to TTC until the monorail opens.

Driving our car to MK for the day and then have an ADR for dinner at Cape May @5:35. Would the easiest way to get there be to just drive over?

TIA!

Bus to MK then boat to WL. 90 minutes should be enough time.

 

[gretchenohar@hotmail]

Are all 17 people getting on the same bus together?

Dang...I keep forgetting about the stupid monorail's new schedule!

That would be my suggestion as well. At that time of day, it shouldn't be an issue. If it was at 8:30am, it would be an issue getting all of you on the same bus...many others heading to the MK. But, at 3:30ish, there shouldn't be many people waiting.

I learned this a.m. that there are buses from the resorts directly to Epcot before the Epcot Monorail opens, so no need to transfer at TTC. The buses start at 8 a.m., which should be OK to get to Epcot rd, even if stopping at additional resorts on the way.

If I stay at Bonnet Creek & drive to Epcot in the morning, what time would I need to leave WBC to arrive at Epcot in time to make it to MK for rope drop? I always end up at Epcot in the evening so I usually park there & head to MK but have never done so to make RD.

Staying at AoA and have a 7:45pm reservation at AK Rainforest. How do we get there and how do we get back if AK closes at 7pm that day? If it's by cab, forget it

The general rule is that Guests cannot ride a bus to a park after it has closed, but that doesn't apply to Guests with late RFC reservations.

Just go to the AK load zone at AoA, and tell the bus driver you have a RFC reservation. If the driver is reluctant to take you, tell him to check with his coordinator on the radio. You should be at the load zone by 7 for a 7:45 reservation.

Regular bus service will probably be over by the time you've finished dinner, but a few buses are kept waiting until RFC is confirmed empty. A transportation cm will be near the bus directory sign and will direct you to a bus. The bus may wait a while for more diners to come out, and it may stop at other resorts on the way to AoA.

Staying at Art of Animation this trip. What is the approximate travel time to DHS on the Disney bus?

We are going to stay at Bwi and we really want to try Artist Point. How can we go from BWI to Wilderness Lodge.

Drive time is under 10 minutes. Wait time should average 10 minutes, but allow 30 just in case.

2 options:

1. Bus to MK, then bus or boat to WL
2. Boat to DHS, them bus to WL

First option should be faster. Expect to take around an hour, but allow 90 minutes to be safe.

If you're finishing after MK has closed, you'll need to take bus to DTD and then bus to BWI to get home.

Taxi should cost around $15 and take 10-15 minutes.

Thank you. We thought it would take I've an hour. I'm booking Artist point tonight!

With the reduced monorail schedule, what's the best way to be at MK from DPR before rope drop on an EMH day? Last time we walked to the TTC. Is the TTC monorail schedule reduced too? What about rope drop with EMH to Epcot from DPR? Are the buses to DHS and AK from DPR affected? Sorry if this has been discussed, but I couldn't exactly find it in the thread. BTW, we won't have a car, and we'll be there starting 7/29. Thanks

Sorry. I did find something that says buses will pick up at MK resorts before monorail starts operation. Does that mean they will pick up in time for rope drop on EMH days? I'm assuming I will need to allow more time than before when using the monorail, right? When we took buses from DPR to DHS and MK, we couldn't always get on the first one, because it was full. DPR seemed to always be the last deluxe resort to get picked up.

I have no idea what DPR is.
