transportation from AKL/Jambo to parks - how long to expect?

[mickeymom629]

I just booked DS and his fiance in a 1 bdrm. at Jambo for 11/10-17 for their honeymoon. They will not have a car. Their tickets will not be hoppers, so they will be going to one park each day, including a day at U/IoA.

Will they spend an awful lot of time waiting for buses?

If you drive to parks, it is five minutes to AK, 12-15 for others and then add 5-8 minutes waiting for and taking tram. If bus, 8 minutes to AK from Jambo and about 25 for others after boarding bus; add 5 minutes coming back because returning park buses stop at Kidani first. Bus system is usually pretty good, incluidng because there are are only two resort stops, Kidani and Jambo, and it does not serve any other resorts. Would recommend using bus at least for MK because car parking lot is still a tram and monorail or boat from park, and also for AK.

It isn't much if they decide to add park hoppers, like $50 each?
One trip, my kids and I did the "game" of whatever bus pulled up first, that was the park we went to! It was so much more fun that way!
Just saying, if they want to add hopping it's not a big deal.
We always hop!
How will they get to US? It's quite an expensive cab ride, and not staying on site there they won't get front of the line access.
