Quickest Way to get from POP to FW?

[MamaKate]

Hello!

I will be traveling from Pop Century to Pioneer Hall @ Fort Wilderness and I need to know the quickest way to get there and approximately how long it takes.

I will have a car, so is it faster to drive to FW and take an iternal bus or is it faster take a bus to MK & boat to FW.

Also, is there a boat that goes from the TTC to FW??

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated !

Thanks!

Both will take the same amount of time, so its really your choice.

To drive:
Exit out of Pop Century, and take a LEFT onto Victory Way. At the next light (Wide World of Sports), take a RIGHT onto Osceola Parkway. Take your first right, and merge onto World Drive. Keep going until you get to the Magic Kingdom toll plaza. Go through the toll plaza, and stay to the far right. The road will fork, you'll want to stay right. The road will immediatly fork again, you'll still want to stay right, and merge onto Vista Blvd. You'll go down Vista Blvd for about a mile or two, and you'll see Fort Wilderness on the left. You're going to want the SECOND entrance to Fort Wilderness. There will be signs for Pioneer Hall parking. Park there, and head over to the bus stop. You'll want to catch any bus that says "Settlement" on it. Doesn't matter what color. Take that to the Settlement Depot, which is where Pioneer Hall is. Buses run every 10 minutes.

To get back to Pop, take any bus that says "Outpost" on it. Any color will do. Your car will be at the Outpost. When you exit out of Fort Wilderness, take a LEFT onto Vista Blvd, and pass through the closed security booth. At the first light, take a RIGHT onto Bonnet Creek. Continue down Bonnet Creek past Riverside, past French Quarter, and past Old Key West. At the end, you'll want to take a RIGHT onto Buena Vista Drive. On BVD, you'll want to stay in the left lane. At the 3rd traffic light, just past Caribbean Beach, you'll want to take a LEFT onto Victory Way. The next traffic light will be the entrance to Pop Century.

WOW!

Thanks for such detailed directions!

I figured driving directly would be the fastest option, but I heard some horror stories about the internal busing system of FW.

But if they run every 10 minutes, I think we'll be O.K.

Thanks again!

Make sure to leave Pop 75 minutes prior to your show time. This will allow you ample time to drive to Fort Wilderness, and get to Pioneer Hall 30 mins prior to showtime.

Thanks for the tip!

Now I can plan this day better knowing I need to leave at a certain time.

You are so helpful!
