Bus Loops

[rreading]

We're looking at planning an upcoming trip through DVC and trying to figure out the transportation options.

Clearly Bay Lake, like the Contemporary has the Monorail/Walking to MK options; and Wilderness Lodge has the boat to MK.

Boardwalk and the Beach Club have walking and boat rides as options to Epcot and HS.

My question is regarding the busses: is there a website or do you remember the routes that the busses take from the resorts to the parks? For example, does the AK Lodge get their own direct busses to each park or do they cycle through/stop at the water parks en route?

Do the Contemporary shuttles stop at the Poly and GF before heading to AK/HS?

If I remember correctly, WL only also stops at Fort Wilderness as well rather than Poly/Contemp/GF?

What about SSR and OKW?

Thanks

We just came back from AKL. Buses are direct to parks. However, park buses pick up at Kidani Village (DVC) first and then Jambo House. The only buses stopping at water parks were those going to DTD. Stopped on the way to DTD and on the way back. Buses for DTD run the opposite way to the park buses, stopping at Jambo House first and then Kidani and then to DTD. Buses especially those going to MK were often full by the time they came down from Kidani in the morning. We started walking the 5 minutes up to the Kidani stop so we were assured of getting on the bus in the morning.

Great! Thanks. Did you like it? Feel like it was too far away?

We loved it. The fact that it is far away is part of the reason we loved it. Totally removed from the parks and a very different atmosphere at the resort. Wonderful cast members, great restaurants (we ate in all of them), great pool plus the animals. You feel like you're on the African savanna. Great place to decompress after a hectic day in the parks. Although, if you're not a fan of Disney transportation, and you don't have a car of your own there, it's probably not the resort for you. Trip to MK is a long one for sure. We're used to commuting daily on public transit at home, about an hour to and from work each day, so the bus trip to the parks doesn't bother us.
