Transporation Question - WL to MK to Poly and back

[sacall]

Here is my question, I just don't know how to do this!

We are staying the the WL during the first week of May using the valet parking for our car. On Friday, May 5th, we plan on doing a water park in the morning and MK in the afternoon. We have reservations at 'Ohana with a 6:20 pm ADR. The MK has a Grad night, so it will be closing at 7:00 pm. Here is my question:

We plan on getting to the MK on the boat around 3:00 pm, riding a few rides and then taking the Monorail to the Poly for our 6:20 ADR. How do I get back from the Poly to WL? With MK closing at 7:00 pm, will I be able to take the monorail back to the MK and a boat from MK to WL? How late will the boats run if they close at 7:00 pm? (I'm thinking we will be done with dinner around 7:30 or so) Or, can I take the monorail to the Contempory and a boat back to WL from the Contempory? Or should I just use valet parking at the Poly even though we will probably be in valet for about 4 or 5 hours?

What should we do

Thanks,

Stacy

Hello! I think this is my first post (having nothing to do with your questions) but I think I can help you. What I would do is walk from Poly to the transportation and ticket center and then get a bus back to the Wilderness Lodge. There are probably a hundred different ways to do it but this is the first thing that came to my mind.

I don't think a bus will be running from the TTC to the WL at that hour either.

I would take the resort monorail to the Contemporary and then the boat to the WL, or drive over to the Poly and valet park.

I don't think the bus runs from the WL to TTC anymore. I 2nd DisneyJoeNJ... 1st option... monorail to CR and then boat to WL.

2nd option... since you are paying for Valet at WL I believe that you would be able to valet park at the Poly and then shoot on over to the MK via monorail or boat and back for dinner then drive back to WL.

I would personally take option 1 since I like to ride the monorail wheneer I get the chance.

I'd drive to the water park, drive back to the TTC and leave my car there. After dinner just walk to the TTC and get your car.

Does Disney still have the policy that let's you pay for valet at one resort but valet at other resorts? If so I'd valet park at POLY after the water park.

Thanks for all the replies (sorry, I posted it in the wrong place ) -

I think I will ask the valet at the WL if I can valet over at the Poly. I know that I can valet park at any resort that has valet, but I just want to make sure there is not a problem with being in valet over 5 hours.

If their is a problem, we'll either take the monorail to the Contempory and then the boat back to WL (I'll find out how late the boats run) or we'll park at the TCC, go to MK then Poly and then walk back to TCC after dinner.

Thanks!

Another option is taking a cab from the Poly to WL at the end of the evening. It cost us $7 (including tip) door-to-door and was less hassle at the later hour than trying to figure out when everything was running and having two tired kids unwilling to walk very far.

At the WL, when you get your car, tell the valet that you need a card that shows you paid for valet at the WL. He will put one on your dash. You'll be all set to valet park for free at any resort that day. You still would tip however.

The boat between WL and CR runs until 11.
