Which Deluxe has the best overall park access?

[pokeysmom]

Please help we will be going to MK, Epcot, and MGM and need to know which deluxe has the best transportation to all 3 overall. We will probably spend most of our time at MK, but want the best access to all three and need your help.

For MK access any of the MK resorts are about equally convenient with WL and WLV somewhat behind because they do not have the option of the monorail.
For Epcot and MGM access hands down the Epcot resorts are the most convenient.
Overall rating, since the Epcot resorts have easy access and convenient locations to 2 parks vs 1 park and many more dining options and nighttime entertainment options my vote goes to any of the Epcot resorts for overall best convenience and location to parks, etc.

One word for ya.... BoardWalk!!! We love it!! It's walking distance to Epcot & MGM. There's boats to both, but you don't even need them because it is such a short walk. Even at the MK resorts you have to wait for the monorail to go to the MK & to visit other resorts, where at the BoardWalk (or any other Epcot resort it's just our favorite!) You can walk to the Swan & Dolphin & the Beach & Yacht Club. There's constant action on the boardwalk itself, tons of restaurants & vendors, tattoos, face painting, the ice cream shop & bakery. Fantasia Gardens Mini Golf is right behind the S&D-- that is SO MUCH FUN! Plus the pool at the Boardwalk is really cool! For a more quiet alternative to the busy boardwalk- try Yacht & Beach- you can walk over to the Boardwalk, but won't be in the middle of all the hustle & bustle! The only thing we didn't love was the return bus ride from MK. But we love epcot so much that we would just take the epcot monorail from MK & walk through epcot back to the hotel! Have fun!

We love the Polynesian, especially the buildings closest to the TTC. That way you have monorail access to both the Magic Kingdom, and Epcot (just a short walk along a pretty path).

For MK access, I think that CR has the best location. You can walk (5 -10 min) down the brick sidewalk, take a boat or take the monorail. On the way from the MK, the CR is the first stop. Going to MK in the AM since CR is first, you don't have a problem finding a seat. To get to Epcot you take the monorail to the TTC, then change to the Epcot monorail.

I've actually been considering this myself, and I think that the monorail resorts give the most flexibility, especially if the Magic Kingdom is your preferred park.

You can catch the monorail at your resort which then gives you access not only to the Magic Kingdom, but to Epcot too. (Yes, you need to transfer, but I'd rather take a monorail than a bus ANYTIME! )

I agree about the CR resort, your right there! If you have a room in the tower you can request a view ( they don't promise it for you but they will try) of the Castle!! Chef Mickeys is great too! You get up the in the morning,hop the monorail and enjoy the day! Good luck
