Transportation to And from Artist Point/Wilderness Lodge

[Grandmaof2]

We have a 7:25 dinner reservation at Artist Point and will be at Epcot. I was wondering should we take the bus from Epcot or take te Monarail to MK and catch the boat over to the lodge. Plus what way is best when we are done to get back to AKL? Thanks for helping.

I would take the bus between the two, but I'd probably prefer a rideshare.

If you want to take Disney transport back I guess I'd take the boat to MK and then take the bus back to AKL.

Do you think with a 7:25 Dinner reservation the buses will
Still be running from MK when we are done with dinner? Thanks

I'm assuming you are within 60 days of your trip since you already have an ADR. MK should be open until 10 or 11 for the next couple of months, so you should be fine with a 7:25 reservation - but be sure and double check MK hours. As a last resort, you should be able catch a DS bus and transfer there as it's usually open pretty late. Or just skip Disney transportation entirely and grab an Uber or Lyft.

Even if you take two hours I think you'll be okay, but do check MK hours before you go.

For your return, you could take the bus or boat to MK, then a bus back to AKL. Or, you could catch a Disney Springs bus at WL and grab an AKL bus there.

I have always had bad luck with slow bus service at Disney Springs, so I try to avoid using it as a transportation hub.

As always, YMMV.

Going : Take WL bus from Epcot
Coming back: you might want just do Lyft/Uber back to AKL. You would have to wait for boat/bus to MK and then wait for AKL bus when a lot of people would be exiting MK.

This may be the best suggestion.
If you are leaving about the time MK is closing, you can have very long lines for buses.

That’s something to think about! Thanks!
