Saratoga Springs, Old Key West, and Downtown Disney transportation suggestions

[aeirvin3]

We are going to be staying at Wilderness Lodge. I was planning to take a half day to visit Old Key West, Saratoga Springs, and Downtown Disney. I'd like to know if anyone has transportations suggestions. I'd like to try to figure out an efficient route to make these stops, and I'd like to end up at Downtown Disney.

Thanks!

Well, I'd take a bus from where ever you are to OKW and then the ferry to SSR and ferry or walk to DDT.

If starting at Wilderness Lodge, be aware that there is no direct bus service from Wilderness Lodge to OKW.

To get from Wilderness Lodge to OKW requires a connection at a theme park or DTD. One idea would be to take the first bus that you see at Wilderness Lodge (just not to Animal Kingdom, which would be quite far our of the way) and then to connect to an OKW bus at the park or DTD.

Before planning on using OKW-SSR-DTD boats, double check on current boat hours. Boat service may not be available in the morning and early afternoon.

Depending on how much you like to walk, there is a walking path from OKW to SSR. (Ask the OKW front desk for a map). It's a nice walk if the weather is good.

You could also take the bus to Downtown Disney and then walk to Saratoga Springs. To get to Old Key West take a bus or boat to Downtown Disney and then another bus or boat to OKW.

When travelling between resorts (resort hopping) allow plenty of time to make transfers. This is when having a rental car is handy, because there are few direct connections between resorts.
