Transportation from resorts to parks

[Disney Davo]

We are staying at SOG and we hate the transportation to the parks from SOG. What are our options? Also does the Monorail circle the MK, GF, Poly, and CR? Can you catch a Monorail to Epcot or do you have to change Monorails?

This is from allearsnet:

SoG has two bus schedules. Bus loading and unloading is located on the lower level below the lobby. There is an elevator to the Bus Stop located outside the lobby in the Port Cochere.

Shades of Green room key is required to ride these buses.

Check upon arrival for the Extra Magic Hour bus scheule.

Bus A
* Departs Shades of Green every 15 minutes starting at 0800.
* Departs the Ticket Transportation Center every 15 minutes
* On this route you will get to the Magic Kingdom or Epcot (Via monorail), and to the Downtown Disney Resort area via bus from space 26 which runs every half hour until 2300.
* Drop off locations for Downtown Disney are either at the Wyndham Palace Resort or the Hilton Resort.
* The last bus will depart the Ticket Transportation Center 2 hours and 15 minutes after the Magic Kingdom closes.

Bus B
* Departs Shades of Green every half hour starting at 0800 to Disney's Animal Kingdom, Blizzard Beach and Disney's-MGM Studios.
* Departs Animal Kingdom 15 minutes and 45 minutes after each hour (Space #7)
* Departs Blizzard Beach 30 minutes after the hour and at the top of the hour (Space #1)
* Departs Disney MGM Studios 45 minutes and 15 minutes after the hour (Space #6).
* The last bus for Animal Kingdom and the Studios will be 2 hours and 15 minutes after each park closes. The last bus for Blizzard Beach will be 2 hours after the park closes.

Yes, the resort monorail stops at the MK, CR, TTC, Poly, and GF. The express MK monorail stops at the TTC and MK, and the Epcot monorail goes from the TTC to Epcot and back.

The only other option that I could think of is to walk to Poly and take the monorail or to walk a little further to the TTC to catch the buses to the other parks.

Good luck!

Personally, I prefer the SOG transportation to AK and MGM, you don't make near as many stops as you do with regular disney transpo, because you are only stoping at one resort. My friend and I decided to not wait for the SOG bus at MGM once, and I swear, it stopped at every flippin resort before it finely let us out at the TTC.

You could walk to the Poly and take their buses or the monorail from there.

But I never had problems with SOG buses - what is it about them that you don't like? To me, the only limitation was that they don't go to DTD until later in the day, and they stop running from DTD pretty early.
