Transportation to/at FW

[TimNDansMom]

How often does it run and how long is the internal bus ride (Crocket or Boone?) from the main Disney bus stop to the dock area of FW?

Also how often and how long is the boat ride over from MK to FW. I can't remember if it stops before it reaches the campground.

I'm just planning various ways to get to the Trail's End Buffet, depending on where we are coming from and how much time to allow.

The Boone and the Crockett have not existed for several years now. The internals are now color coded. From the Outpost Depot (which is where the parking lot is, and where the Epcot, Downtown Disney and Animal Kingdom buses drop off), board any bus marked "Settlement" -- does not matter which color. The Disney-MGM Studios bus drops off directly at the Settlement, no need to take an internal.

(Settlement is where Pioneer Hall, Trail's End, and boat docks are)

The boat to the MK took about 20 min. When we were there (April 10-20) the boat to the MK did not start running untill 8:30 AM which was a problem for us one morning because we had an eary PS at the Crystal Palace (8:10 am). We had to take the boat that stops at the Contemp. Resort & walk to the MK.
On the way back one night from the MK to Ft. Wilderness our boat stopped at The Wilderness Lodge first then to FW.
In the Handy Guide to Magic that Disney gives you upon check in it says that Disney buses come around every 20 min. or so. It also states that when traveling between resort properties you should allow up to an hour & a half to reach your destination.
