Old Key West transportation

[disneycountrygirl]

I have 3 questions about transportation for upcoming stay at OKW.

1. What is our quickest transportation option from the resort to Disney Springs (specifically the Marketplace): boat, walking, bus?

2. Is it true there are 2 different bus systems at OKW - one for the parks and one for Disney Springs? If so, what are they called/how are they differentiated?

3. Does anyone know the current order the busses stop at in the resort?

1. I think it's a toss up between the boat and bus.

2. Yes. The bus will say it's destination on the front and side.

3. The park buses run Peninsular Road -> South Point -> Turtle Pond -> Miller's Road -> Hospitality House.

Hard to gauge which is faster as far as the boat or bus. If you walked up to the boat as it is loading, and you walked up to a bus as it is loading, I would say the boat, plus in my opinion it drops you off in a better spot. We were in Turtle pond so after getting on the bus, you had to also hit Miller's road stop, then the HH before exiting OKW. When the boat leaves, it doesn't make any other stops. We always take the bus to parks, the boat to DS unless weather is a factor.

That being said, if you hop on the bus at your stop and ride it over to the HH, it is probably faster to just stay on the bus instead of hop off and wait on the boat as you are already on the bus and you are at the last stop.

Agree.

IMO....nothing beats the boat ride from OKW to Disney Springs. Very relaxing and so much to look at along the way!
