Shuttles, cabs, monorails...oh my!

[Kris & Steve]

Hi again!

I am trying to find out what time shuttles, monorails, etc. stop running? We will be in DW in Jan. '06, staying at POP. Do they stop running when the park closes? Do shuttles from the resorts to Downtown Disney run later into the night? Say we go to PI...how would we get back to the resort if it's 12 at night? If we have reservations for dinner at another resort say at 8pm, and the shuttles have stopped running would I have to take a cab back to my hotel? Would the CM's at the other hotel call & get me one or no since I am not staying there? Ugggg...so confusing

Transportation from the parks runs at least (or about) two hours after park closing, to each resort. I know I was able to get a bus from Epcot to Pop around 10:30 one night.

The last bus leaves Downtown Disney (specifically the stop near Planet Hollywood) at 2 AM for each resort.

The free way to get from your dinner back to Pop would be to take a bus from the resort where you're dining to DtD, then the Pop bus from there.

But if you need/wish to take a cab, yes, the Valet or Bell Services desk can call - or more exactly wave one over - for you.

Don't worry, you will get a completete transportation guide when you check in and the service is easy.

To/from the parks the bus/boat/monorail runs at least two hours after park closing. To/from DTD they run until very late, well after PI closes but confirm this on your guide to be sure.

Resort to resort is the tricky park of WDW transportation. Your choices is to take transportation to the nearest park and then back to your resort or if the parks are closed or closing then transfer via DTD.

You can always call a cab from anywhere, this is often what we end up doing when going from resort to resort. The bellman will hail one for you regardles of where your staying and I generally ask them for a rough estimate of costs. This keeps the cab driver from taking the long way!
