transportation to/from wide world of sports...

[gigi1313]

i have friends who are considering entering their girls in the gymnastics competition in june but do not necessarily want to book thru the "events" 'cause the cost w/free dining would be less (and they would get more)...

so, they asked me about transportation options to the events if they opt to book individually...

how does one get to WWoS from the resorts (or parks)?

anyone?!

I've only gone during WDW events (i.e. marathons and half marathons) and they had special buses which were the only WDW transportation that would take you there. It makes me suspect that you'd have to provide your own transportation.

may i ask wher you found that?
because i found this
Transportation is available in the evenings Thursday through Monday from 5:00 pm to 10:00 pm from Disney's All-Star Resorts, Disney's Pop Century and Disney's Caribbean Beach. Daytime hours vary based on events.


The really odd thing is that the group flyer (from Disney) is offering ASSp or Coronado, which it appears does not have direct transport...

It's a reprint from an official CM info source. It's pretty reliable.
They'll make adjustments regarding bus transportation if needed during specific events.
As for a Coronado bus, that may have been for an event where a lot of the participants were staying there, so it made sense to add bus service to that resort.
The standard routes, as far as I know, are usually from the 3 resorts listed.
As it says though, "operating hours on this route will vary day to day and are based on events at the Sports Complex". I would call WDW Transportation to find out exactly what is running at the time you're there.

If those are "official host resorts," and the program says transportation will be available, then Disney Sports will probably be hiring charter buses to ferry participants to the events. Disney Transport has nothing to do with the charter buses, which usually run only for specific events, and usually (not always) pick up somewhere other than the bus stops for the theme parks.

I don't know whether they are available to all event participants, or only those booking the event travel package.
