All of the Cabins are in one area which is on the Orange Bus loop. The Orange Loop goes from the main bus depot all the way down to the Settlement near the boat launch. At the main bus depot, you will catch buses to DAK, DHS, Epcot & Disney Springs. You catch a boat to the MK from the boat launch. At times, the Orange & Purple Bus routes are combined, but still start and end at the same locations.
Thank you so much! I have a lot to learn but we are vey excited.
There were some cabins closer to Settlement Depot but I'm unsure if they're placing any new ones there. Regardless, it was a handful from an inventory over 300 so I never bothered to request.
If you'll rent a golf cart then it really doesn't matter what cabin location but if you won't then I'd recommend requesting a smaller loop like 2500. Many loops are large and risk being buried deep in the back with a longer walk to a bus stop. Even if close to a bus stop there's still a need to wait for a bus. Personally, I don't risk it but instead rent a golf cart.

There are 2 on loop 100. I think one of them is the sales office and the other is being used as the model room.
I would definitely rent a Golf Cart. We’ve stayed there many times in our RV and the Golf cart is more convenient than the internal bus loop. Plus if you need something from Outpost, it’s a nice way to get there. It tends to be a little pricey, I think between $65-$70 a day. If you have a larger family they do have 6 passenger ones. I would certainly call and reserve one before your trip. You’ll have a great time there. Don’t forget the Electrical Water Parade each night around 9:30. Plus the beach/boat dock area is a great place to view the MK fireworks. Another good reason for the Golf Cart.

@disneyaggie , you don’t mention whether you booked a DVC cabin or the old-style cabin. I believe that the old ones are still a bookable category.
That will determine which loop you could be in. They are replacing the cabins one loop at a time.
