Transportation question...

[delgrec]

Sorry if this isn't the best board to ask this on...I wasn't sure...

Anyway, I am wondering what everyone's advice would be on the best route to do the following (aside from a cab which would clearly be the quickest but this night is already going to cost us way too much!):

POR to Polynesian to drop kids off at Neverland Club and then to Epcot

Can you get a bus to TTC?

Transportation Wizard says to get a bus to MK and then monorail to Poly.

What about the boat to DTD and then bus to Poly?

What would you say the best and most efficient route would be?

Thanks for any help!

There is no bus to the TTC so this is what I recommend....

Take bus to MK, hop on resort monorail to Poly then walk to TTC to get monorail to Epcot...

It's probably quicker to walk from Poly to TTC then take resort monorail all the way around again, my opinion...

Enjoy

Yup.
Neverland Club is very near the Poly Bus Stop (#5 on the map) along the orange line.

I haven't stayed at POR since it was Dixie Landings. I would think that a bus to MK and either the monorail or boat from MK to Poly would be the best way to go. The boat goes between MK, GF and Poly. I'm not sure what the route is the time you would be using it. If the boat is at or near the MK dock then I would take it, if not the monorail would probably be best.

Then as mentioned, walk from Poly to TTC for the monorail to Epcot.

The shuttle boat from MK would not be very convenient for the OP's purpose.

It stops first at GF, then makes its way to the Poly's dock... which is a very long distance from the Neverland Club.
(See dock location on map below.)

We love the shuttle, but it's not quite the best choice in this instance.

Thanks for all the input! It sounds like bus to MK and monorail to poly are the way to go. Much appreciated. And thanks to Robo for the awesome maps again!

Yep! It takes no time to walk from Poly to TTC. In fact we laughed the first time we did and said "that was it"!

OK, since Neverland club is opened limited hours, I'd grab a cab to and from. Just sayin...

I agree with this PP that you should think of the TIME costs in addition to the MONEY costs of your transportation options.

You are paying for the babysitting time at Neverland club. By taking monorails/buses/walking, you're likely adding half an hour each way to your commute vs a cab both ways.

When we go to 'Ohana, we go the way mentioned, bus to MK, monorail to Poly. It seems really quick to me. I've never had any issues...and YES, Robo's maps save my life! If you get short on time, you can always cab back to Neverland club.

You didn't add this as an option, but I would probably put the kids in the Sandcastle Club at the Beach Club. It would cut out an extra leg of travel time, and you could walk to/from Epcot.

Edit to add that POR to BC may prove to have it's own set of transportation issues. Hmm.

I've moved this thread to the Transportation board.

Thanks. I did consider this but I was getting tripped up with how the transportation would work (more so than the poly other scenario). We would have to take a bus to either Epcot or DHS I assume. Epcot would be weird because we would have to enter and cut through to the international gateway. We don't have park hoppers so we can't enter DHS. Where do you get the boat or where is the walkway (is there one?) to the resorts from DHS?

Could certainly bus to DHS. Friendship Boat or 15 minute walk to Sandcastle. 5 minute Wally to the International Gateway. Since time starts when you drop the kids, this maximizes the babysitting value.

On return, you could either cab from the BC or walk/boat back to DHS and bus to POR, depending on DHS hours. (You could also mid from BC to MK if still open or DTD and bus/boat back to POR, but I don't think it's worth the hour and a half it would take- kind of ruin the peaceful night).

I would take them to the Sandcastle Club. Just take the bus to DHS and then walk or take the bus to the beach club. There's a map here: http://www.stitchkingdom.com/maps/index.php?showmap=14

To get back, You can either transfer at DHS, Take a cab from the YC to DTD and then the boat to POR, or just pay $10 or so for a cab (which I would do if it's lateish.)
