Official 'how to get from point A to point B while at WDW' thread.

Trying to get from POFQ to BC for breakfast. Not opposed to taxi, but would require a booster seat (which we won't have with us). No park admission, so can't cut through Epcot. If we bus to HS, is there a bus from there to BC? What are our other options?

Not a bus, but you can walk or there's a boat.

While many people have their own opinions, my interpretation of Florida law is that booster seats are not legally required in a taxi or any other hired transport. It would be up to you to decide if you wanted a booster seat.

My turn!
How long to get from Beach Club to Wilderness Lodge?
Boat to HS then Bus?
Walk through Epcot then Bus?
Taxi?

Bus to MK and boat to Wilderness Lodge; budget 45 minutes.

Bus to MK and boat to Wilderness Lodge; budget 45 minutes.

Thanks!

Do you thing it's better to take the boat to the Wilderness Lodge or take a bus there?
We have a 6:10 ADR at WCC, I was leaning toward a bus directly to Wilderness Lodge.

I probably wouldn't walk thru EPCOT, you would need to have hoppers, an AP o. I would either boat or walk to Studios and then bus to WL

Thanks!

It's 6 of one, half dozen of the other. Bus to MK, boat to WL is probably the same time wise but with less walking. Either way, I would allocate 60 minutes to be safe.

I like riding the boat so I would probably do the bus to MK and boat to WL.

I saw that a similar question has been asked recently, "what is the best way to get to Ft. Wilderness from the Polynesian" but my question involves one person in my party using an ECV. So, my question is, what is the best way to get to Ft. Wilderness, specifically Chip n' Dale's Campfire Sing-A-Long, from the Polynesian that is ECV accessible? Secondly, how do we get back to Bay Lake Tower after the Campfire Sing-A-Long (again with an ECV)? Thanks in advance!

Is there a place that lists what resorts share buses with another, for each park?

I've never seen anything, not written down.
The CR and GF usually share, WL and Poly usually share. AKL and Kidani.
Pop is alone, as is AoA.....usually. The Allstars can share buses between the three resorts.
The moderates don't share.
SSR doesn't share.
Then we have the Epcot resorts. BW is alone to MK, and sometimes to AK. S/D, same thing, YC/BC same thing. For buses to DS, BW shares with S/D, and possibly YC/BC.
Of course, as with all things Disney, things can, and do, chsnge with little to no advance notice. That's probably why nothing is written down anywhere.

Thanks. The bold is sort of what I thought.

Can someone give me more detailed S/D bus info. Here is what I know so far:

to MK: shared with BW and sometimes YC/BC.

1) Is there a certain order, like MK -> Swan -> Dolphin -> BW -> YC -> BC. Or is there only 1 YC/BC stop? Or is it something like S/D last picked up/first dropped off? What is the order?
2) What time do they start running?

3) to AK: same as MK?

4) to DHS and Epcot: boat only, every 20 min; 1 hr before and after park hours. (DHS -> S/D -> YC/BC -> BW -> Epcot and reversed)

5) to Disney Springs: which resorts share and how many DS stops? What are the hours? (I know WL used to start at 8:30am)

6) to TL - take the DS bus like used to happen with DTD?

7) to BB - take AK bus?

8) Is there a Character Breakfast bus at S/D?

Thanks!!!

1. BW had its own MK bus. So, I believe that S/D have a bus of their own.
2. All buses start running at 6:30.
3. I believe that S/D share an AK bus with BW.
4. The boat runs an hour prior to openings and an hour or so after park closing. From Epcot to DHS the route is BW, YC/BC, S/D, HS. Reverse it going back to Epcot.
5. This is the tough one. When I was at BW in Dec, we shared a bus with the S/D. But it might possibly stop at YC/BC at times. Right now, just the stop at Marketplace. And yes, probably around 8:30.
6. and 7. I think so, but seldom go there, so not 100% sure.
8. Buses start running at 6:30, every morning, to all parks. They do run less frequently than regular buses (an hour prior to park opening). Could be 20-30 mins between buses.

Great info as always @goofy4tink. Thank you. Last detail regarding shared buses with BW. Is it always BW or S/D first after the park? Or does it vary?

I 'think' BW is usually the first stop when sharing a bus.
I'm going to have to pay attention next week!!

 

[AngiTN]

When we stayed last month BW has it's own bus to both AK and MK

 

[cranbiz]

If BW is sharing a bus with the S/D, it's always BW, Swan and Dolphin.

LOL... I suffer from the same, I can promise you that.

And it was a very recent change. They did share up till late last year.
