TTC buses do NOT service Downtown Disney, Typhoon Lagoon, or Blizzard Beach.

I thought the only way to get to downtown disney and typhoon lagoon before 4pm from the Poly was to go to the TTC and board the downtown disney bus.

How would I get to the above places then from the Poly?

Downtown Disney/Typhoon Lagoon buses service the Contemporary, Polynesian, and Grand Floridian resorts directly starting one hour prior to the water parks opening, or 8:30am, whichever is later.

Tyler,

Thank you very much for straightening me out.

I will be on the look out for you during our fall vacation.

If I remeber right, that was the case some years ago. I think it was our stay in either 1995 or 2000 that the above was the procedure.

If I remember right, that was the case some years ago.

If I remember right, the reason that they stopped this was that too many people were parking free at DTD and hopping the bus to TTC then to MK or EP.

We prefer to look at it this way... we now provide direct service from the resorts to the DTD area, thus taking away the need for a TTC bus.

Family & I went to the Poly in October (pre-Halloween, media week, Wishes, FTMagic time, etc.) when it was surprisingly busy.

We stayed on the Eastern side of the resort, in the Tahiti longhouse (yes, it was fantastic!) and found the TTC very, very convenient for our transportation needs . . .

We took the ~30 passenger launch back from MK one early PM and asked the 'captain' for his advice on exiting the park later that evening -- it was going to be a very busy night.

He suggested the Ferry since they were running 3 and each holds close to 600 people (twice the capacity of a monorail).

We always think monorail, since it's Disney's signature transportation mode, but the ferry was incredibly convenient too.

Lots of room to wheel on the sleeping toddler in his stroller. Big, wide ramps for lots of people to em/disembark.

With 3 ferries (I seem to recall 2 during the early AM's and mid-afternoon), the wait isn't much longer than that of the monorail. Even though the ferry goes a bit slower, it's a direct route across 7 Seas Lagoon (vs. the circumference).

Best of all, everyone gets on . . . with their child's stroller!

Glad you discovered the convenience of the ferries to return to the Polynesian.

Transportation options to the Polynesian are the best!
