Travel time on buses

[Foofness]

I was reading this board one other time and found a wonderful list of travel times for all the parks from whichever resort you wanted... but the search isn't working tonight, so I can't find it again... Does anyone know which site or post I'm talking about?... If I ever find it again I'm either saving the info, or the addy, one or the other... We will be staying @ CBR and need to know how long the ride is to MK, and other parks, for planning purposes...

TIA...

Regardless of park, plan for 45 minutes. 15 minute wait time, 15 minute travel time, and 15 minutes of Murphy's Law time. (Yes, Murphy and his law love to vacation at Disney too) Chances are you'll arrive MUCH quicker than that... but it's best to plan to be early, than to arrive late.

Thanks Tyler... but I was hoping for something a bit more specific than that... I'll just keep hunting... I know it's here somewhere... and the search option won't be down forever...
Seems to me the ride to MK from CBR was 45 min., where the ride to MGM for example was only around 15... When you're running on a tight schedule a half hour can be a big thing... I don't want to plan an hour travel time for a ten minute boat ride from WL to MK for example... On the way to our ADR's sure, but on the way back we're not trying to meet a deadline, more trying to realistically plan the next block of time...
Maybe it doesn't matter nearly as much as I think it does...

Well, be careful about "running on a tight schedule" -- the busses really aren't the best way of getting around if you're running on a tight schedule. You really would be better-off in that case with a rental car or a taxi. Hinging important aspects of your touring on busses running with a specific level of timeliness is a sure-fire way of setting yourself up for failure and disappointment.

I would STRONGLY caution against being specific with time... running on a tight schedule will cause you to be late and miss things. Allowing for extra time as I have suggested will make sure that you are on-time for everything. I'd really hate for you to miss some of the events that you've set your heart on experiencing.
