Resort Transportation at WDW - Easter

[tlynk]

I'm wondering if anyone would know what WDW resort would have the best-most effiecient transportation to the parks during peak seasons (i.e. Easter break)?

The reosrt choices are Contemporary, any Disney moderate, Hilton (DTD), and Swan/Dolphin. We already have a room booked, but I'm wondering if I made a mistake since we only have 4 days at WDW and it is going to be busy! Thank you

Well, if we're only thinking of transportation and not of cost, I'd probably choose Swan/Dolphin first and Contemporary second for a peak time. At Swan/Dolphin, you're within walking distance of 2 of the theme parks (Epcot and MGM) as well as the Boardwalk area. Or a nice boat ride will also get you to those places. That means that buses only need to be used for getting to MK and AK.

At the Contemporary, you're on the monorail of course. That gets you to MK and Epcot, plus MK is really easy walking distance too. Again, buses only need to be used for 2 parks (AK and MGM).

I've gone at peak times numerous times and always use the buses. Sometimes they're really full, and sometimes not. Most of the time, they run pretty frequently so I've not had much issue with long waits.

That's my $.02 worth anyway.

My DD and I were there this last Easter. I had us at POFQ and then got scared by the crowds and changed us to Yacht Club. Cost a heck of a lot more but we love the YC and thought with the dining choices all around the llake and transportation we'd be better off. We had probably our best trip ever.

I'd choose Swan/Dolphin as probably the best from your choices. Also when we were there, Disney had split the bus transportation to the Epcot hotels and S/D and Boardwalk had their own bus and Yacht/Beach had their own bus. So they were usually not overly crowded.

Have fun!
