Riverside to Disney Springs (Goofy's Candy)

[switch15foot]

Does taking the boat or the buses get you closer to Goofy's Candy shop. As if I'm not mistaken the buses drop off at a different location in Disney Springs than before (last trip was Nov 2016).

Trying to figure out the easiest way to get to Goofy's Candy Shop to use up extra credits that I'm sure we are bound to have without killing to much time. We are spending our morning in AK probably until 2:30ish and have Club Villain later that night in DHS, so was hoping to squeeze in a quick side trip to Goofy's Candy Shop before heading over to Hollywood Studios.

The boat is closer since they moved the bus from the Marketplace. Another option is rather than going back to POR, take the bus to AKL then grab their bus to DS. Disney has started one way buses from the parks to DS but last I read it didn't start before 4:00pm

The boat drops you off very close to Goofy's.

I second the idea of AK to AKL and then bus to DS. Then jump on the boat back to POR.

Thanks I thought I remember reading that the buses where more central now with regards to Disney Springs

Yes but I think it would still be faster (assuming that is the goal here) to take the bus as NCC1701 (peace and long life!) said than to bus back to POR and then grab the boat to DS.

Here is a map I created for a past thread showing the former/current Disney Springs bus areas:

The dock for the boat from Disney's Port Orleans Riverside is left of letter "A". The candy shop is in the collection of buildings under letter "A". The new bus loop is letter "B".
