WDW Transportation Wizard App

[LSUmom4kids]

Does anyone have the WDW Transporation Wizard App by Laughing Place Communications?

I'm looking for detailed information on how to use WDW transportation to visit all the resorts to view the holiday decorations on my upcoming solo trip. This might be a good app to use.

Or will I have to go from resort to DD to another resort then back to DD to another resort then back to DD???? Will this take me all day?

i don't have the app, but for a resort tour, you could start w/the monorail resorts as you can go from one to another w/out having to go to a hub plus WL by boat from the monorail at MK... for POR and FQ, same thing, you can go from one to another by boat... for OKW and SSR you can grab the boat from DDT... for BC/YC/BW you can also hit those in one trip... AS resorts are also easy to go from one to another... that leaves only a few like AKL, CBR and Pop... for those you would have to go to a hub (i.e. park or DTD or T&TC)... i recommend a park over DTD just from personal experience...

I can't speak for the app but the person responsible for the online version of the wizard is a cruel, sadistic person. A person who's intentionally giving incorrect information but updates the names of the resorts and parks so as to give the wizard the appearance of being updated.

Check the suggested route from CSR to BWI. From the Contemporary to DTD. A couple of us sent emails to OLP. The person who's responsible for the wizard thanked us for bringing the errors to their attention. The person lied and said corrections would be made. This has been going on for over 5 years.

Only explanation is the site owner derives sadistic pleasure in offering bad information.

What resorts, specifically, are you planning to visit and how much time do you plan to devote to this?

You can see all the monorail resorts in one loop, then exit at the Contemporary or the MK and use the launch to Wilderness Lodge.

Head back to MK, then take a bus to any one of the Epcot-area resorts. Tour those. Walk over to DHS and take a bus to AKL. From there, take a bus to nearby AK, and decide if you want to tour any of the Moderate or Value resorts. Moderates: go for the Port Orleans combo; Value, head over to the All Stars.

With EACH of the above, you'll be able to see at least two* different resorts at each stop (well, except the monorail resorts where you'll use that mode of transportation between each, unless you want to walk between the Polynesian and the Grand Floridian):
Monorail: Contemporary + Polynesian + Grand Floridian
WL: Wilderness Lodge + Villas at Wilderness Lodge
Epcot: Beach Club + Yacht Club + Boardwalk Inn + Boardwalk Villas + Swan + Dolphin
AKL: Jambo House + Kidani Village
PO: Port Orleans Riverside + Port Orleans French Quarter
All Stars: All Star Movies + All Star Music + All Star Sports

*I admit to not knowing whether the DVC properties have decorated lobbies

One day I will go to MK. I have an ADR at Trails End for 4:45 p.m. If I leave MK at 2:30 p.m. and catch a boat to WL to view the decorations, how can I get to Fort Wilderness for 4:45? Is there a ferry from WL to FW? How far of a walk is it? Or is there a bus from WL to FW?

All of the above. There is a boat that goes in between FW, WL, and Contemporary. In the afternoon, it will go directly from WL to FW, then to CR.

There is a direct bus that goes between WL and FW.

There is a walking path between WL and FW that is beautiful and you will most likely see lots of deer and other wildlife. (Oh the walking path is about a mile)
