So how do you get to the parks?

[VACAMPER]

we always take the boat to MK...buses everywhere else. My kids love the buses...not sure why but they do and its nice not to have the hassle of parking then riding the tram. Its a vacation...relax.

On our last trip in Dec. we drove to all the parks except to MK when we took the boat. On one of those days we took the bus to Epcot and what would have taken 10-15 minutes by car took almost one hour by Disney bus. After that we always drove to save valuable time in the morning. We like to get the popular rides done first thing in the morning then slow the pace for late afternoon and nights.

How much does it cost to park at the parks? If you leave and return later in the day do you have to pay again?

If you stay at a Disney resort, they will give you a parking pass to keep in your window. Show it at the gate to the theme parks and you can park for free.

If you stay off-site, it's $12 per day. You pay only once per day, even if you leave/return or go to another park.

My kids always consider the boat from FW to MK as their first attraction and one of their favorites.

Shan-man I love your route to Epcot. Sounds like a great idea for a relaxing scenic tour.

Why, thank you! It warms my heart to know that I'm not the only crazy one out there!

There are some cabins near Settlement. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll get in this loop. The boat and buses are just steps away.

Only 2 and you can't reserve them. Heck I'm not even entirely sure they won't laugh at you if you request them.
