Public transportation?

[CuracaoGirl]

I have a question that may sound strange to some, but I'll ask anyway.
We (Mom, DD5 and I) will be staying at POP for the first time in October. Since we are visiting from abroad, I wanted to make use of the opportunity and do some minor shopping at Walmart (or maybe a nearby mall) as well.
Would you recommend using public transportation (Lynx Bus) from DTD? I would use that on our way to Walmart and maybe a taxi on our way back to DTD. A taxi both ways would probably cost us too much to make it worth the trip.

TIA for your opinions.

Here is a link to the Lynx Bus system's trip planner. That should help you figure out how to get to Wal-Mart or a nearby mall.

Personally, public bus transportation in the Orlando area isn't going to be the most time efficient option. Taxis, while more expensive, tend to be more efficient. You can estimate the fare using Mear's taxi fare estimator:

Taxis are easy to find in WDW. There is a stand at Pop so they should be waiting. Outside of WDW (e.g., at Wal-Mart) I don't know plentiful they are.

Thank you so much!

Consider renting a car for a day. Gives you a chance to shop in multiple locations. Mall. Outlet mall. Walmart. Target......

I have to agree with renting a car for the day.
