Transportation To & From BLT?

[jennifer25]

Our first time staying at BLT in July 2014.

I have been reading that walking is fastest to get to MK.
Leaving MK, either walk or take monorail.

Do buses go straight to the MK from BLT? no stops?

How long is the bust to Epcot vs. the monorail?

How long is the bus to the waterparks? Are there stops to waterparks?

I'd appreciate any suggestions on traveling to/from the parks from BLT!

Thank you!

You can either walk or take the monorail to MK. Walking is 5-10 minutes. Monorail goes clockwise, so MK is the last stop.

Monorail to EP.

Buses to AK, HS, water parks, and DTD.

No buses between BLT & MK. You have to walk or take the monorail.

No buses between BLT & Epcot unless the Epcot Monorail line is down.

Be aware that the buses from Contemporary/BLT to HS and AK are shared with Polynesian and Grand Floridian/villas GF. This can really be a pain at times. It really bothers me that essentially 5 top tier Disney resorts (I am counting the timshares as resorts) share one bus to/from these parks. I had a bad experience leaving HS going to BLT on Thurs night. The bus line wrapped around to the next bus stop. It took several buses to come by before many of us got on and the buses did not come that quickly either.

Jesslch....we had a similar experience when we were there just recently. I though it was poor planning to have so many resorts on one bus. Luckily we were first drop off cause I was tired of feeling like I was pole dancing on the bus. ;0)

It is the same with the EPCOT resorts, one bus for BC, BCV, BW,BWV, DOLPHIN & SWAN. This is a real pain when at BCV because you are last on and off. We used to wait sometimes an hour for a bus

Other than DTD which we did not take, this was not the case the last 4x times we stayed at the YC which always shares a bus with BC/BCV. (We stayed 10/12, 12/12, 1/13 and 10/13.)

The YC+BC/BCV shared a bus to AK, which also stopped at Blizzard Beach. Sometimes the MK bus went YC-BC/BCV-BW/BWV, but only sometimes. The return bus from MK only went to YC-BC/BCV. BW/BWV, Swan and Dolphin had their own bus line from MK and AK.

The Magical Express does BW/BWV, BC/BCV, YC and generally one moderate resort, but the last/first is nearly always the YC.

However, I'm not disputing the crazy waits. We had to wait 40+ minutes for our bus from MK to the YC+BC/BCV, and that was just for the bus to arrive, it wasn't an issue with the bus being filled.

When we stayed at BLT, they shared buses with the Poly but not always with GF.
