2 hours . Im guessing the bus would have been quicker?

I’m sure it would have, monorail had to wait 3 trainloads before we got on, then transfer at TTC, and then deal with Halloween party at MK go the long way around the MK loop to get to BLT.
I just didn’t think it through before I chose monorail over the bus… my only real thought was monorails hold more so that’s what I picked.


Missed mobile ordering food from contemporary by about 5min... Way off topic, but there really should be at least one place in each of the 4 areas to eat after parks close.

Contempo Cafe used to stay open until 12am and Gasparilla and Captain Cook's were both open 24/7 pre-COVID not to mention room service

I would’ve chosen monorail too. I appreciate the post since we will be staying at BLT in Feb if my BW waitlist doesnt come through.

For no longer than you've been on these boards and researching this, I'd say this looks like you scored a pretty good deal. Congrats!

I had that happen to me on more than one occasion! It took years until I figured out a better alternate route: Take the Wilderness Lodge bus from MK to the Lodge. Get off and take the next Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, or Springs bus that arrives to the Contemporary. It's MUCH faster than the monorail.

For those of you who are not aware, the Contemporary and Wilderness Lodge share buses for the non-monorail parks. And Wilderness is always the first stop. Just make sure to ask the driver in case for some reason they are not stopping at the Contemporary before heading to the next park.

We were coming from Epcot, but same thing we could have taken the bus and I’m sure it would have been much faster.

Had a similar experience last week at Epcot…
We left at close and decided to take the monorail instead of the bus, 2 hours later we arrived at BLT.

I thought they only add a bus from Epcot to the monorail resorts if the monorail is down? So unless they changed that, your only option would’ve been monorail anyway (well of the normal routes). Probably doesn’t make you feel any better, but it was mostly out of your hands lol

I bet you could bus to Wilderness Lodge in this scenario, then to Magic Kingdom and walk back. Or Uber or something.
