Time free transportation really ends

[MarciaR]

We have a 9:40 dinner reservation at Ohana at the Poly. We will need to get back to the Wilderness Lodge after we eat. I'm trying to figure out what time the bus, boat and monorail really stop running. We'll be there on November 12th, and the posted closing time for MK and EPCOT is 9p. However, the fireworks and IllumiNations START at 9:00, so do they take that into account when figuring out the transportation schedule, or is it really one hour after the posting closing time? Also, if we end up having to take a cab from the Poly to WL, how much might it cost? They're pretty close to each other, right? Thanks!!!

There's always an option for Disney transportation. You could bus to Downtown Disney and catch a WL bus from there. But that will take a long time, a cab is a better option.

They will run transportation until everyone is out of the park, but you likely won't make it in time. You could transfer at DTD, but I would just take a cab. You can look up the estimated fare at taxifarefinder.com

Transportation stops when everyone is out of the park...but 'Ohana isn't 'in the park'...so who knows what the situation would be. If it were me? I would enjoy my meal, taking my time. Then, go down to Bell Services at the Polynesian and ask them to call you a cab. The cost will be fairly small. And...you may get lucky and a CM will offer to take you in one of the WDW white company vans. But, if this happens, remember to tip them very nicely for their time.

Yes. Wilderness Lodge is a three-minute drive; the cab ride would be ridiculously cheap.

Thanks for all the responses.
