• Boardwalk:
  • from GF, monorail or boat to MK, then bus to BW;
  • from AoA, bus to DHS, then boat to BW;
    • after DHS close, bus to MK, then bus to BW, or just take a taxi
• DS (formerly DTD), direct buses from all resorts.

We're staying at Pop Century for our trip next month. We have an ADR for Ohana at 8:10AM. When do you suggest we get to the bus stop (if we choose to take WDW transportation)? Also, is the monorail running that early from MK to Poly?

Hi All, does anyone know if there is a bus that goes directly from Magic Kingdom to Disney Springs. Thanks for any help.

No, there is not.

Thanks so much! I guess walking over to the Contempory and using the bus there would work out the best. Thanks again.

Or take the bus to SSR and get off at the Congress Park stop, where you can walk across to Disney Springs.

Leaving for WDW on Friday. Any unusual resort monorail hours I should know about? Is it shut down midday?

Having just returned, on Wednesday, the one thing I can is to leave a lot of time if planning on using the monorail. There were more than a few issues with it over the week I was there. I no longer use it if I have to be someplace at a particular time.

This is disappointing news, but not all that surprising. The monorail hasn't been getting all the maintenance it needs and we, the guests, pay the price. I will make a mental note to stick with the ferry this Feb., even though I do not like it much during wintertime visits.

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before...

My boyfriend and I are going to WDW in January, and he's running the 10km race. We plan on being at ESPN to pick up his race pack when they first open at 10am on the Wednesday. What's the easiest/fastest way to get to Magic Kingdom without going back to our resort first (I figure there has to be a quicker way than going back to All-Star Music, transferring buses and then going to MK). We're hoping to be at MK by noon, 12:30 at the latest.

Thanks!

If it's the big WDW Marathon weekend, there should be shuttle buses to all WDW resorts. You can take the bus to the Contemporary and walk to MK. I think the race shuttle buses drop off at the Contemporary's Convention Center, which is a 2/3 mi. walk to MK. Please use the designated walkway.

I'm here now and can report -- happily -- that there seem to be more than the usual number of resort monorails. If you miss one, you won't wait more than two or three mins for another. No breakdowns yet.

Is there transportation to the Wide World of Sports from resorts? DD's dance team is competing there for College UDA Nationals the weekend of 1/15/16...wondering if I need a car to get back and forth? We are staying at Saratoga Springs, so not a hotel that is part of the travel package you can buy through UDA. I do believe there may be charter busses that transport dancers from their hotels. thanks!
