DHS to Magic Kingdom Transportation?

[disneyfan295]

I am planning a park hopping day where I will spend the first half of the day at Disney's Hollywood Studios and will finish at the Magic Kingdom. Does anyone know the best way to get between parks? I am staying off property and I have a car.

Drive. That way you won't have to rely on Disney transportation, and your car will always be where you are - which is especially handy at the end of the day.

If you don't want to drive from DHS to the Magic Kingdom, you could take the bus from DHS to the Contemporary and walk to the Magic Kingdom.

Would I have to pay for parking twice though? (Sorry if this is a silly question, but I haven't been to WDW in a couple years.)

No. Just show the receipt from the first parking at the second boot.

No need. The Studios-to-MK bus goes directly to the MK. There's no need to connect through the TTC anymore.

Correct. You pay for a single day of parking, wether you stay parked in MK or move to another park.

When park hopping from MK to DHS, I take the monorail to the TTC, then another to Epcot. Then I route through Epcot, possibly stopping for SSE of Captain EO. I exit through the International Gateway and board a Friendship boat to DHS.

Seems like a lot, but I drive almost an hour sometimes to visit the parks. I make the most out of commuting between parks

To make things easier on yourself - leave your car in the parking lot of the park which you'll visit last (in this case MK). Sure, its a bit of messing about and a bit more travelling, BUT, there's nothing worse than finishing your day at MK, being all hot and tired and then having to bus it back to DHS to find your car

My DD BF from college is at Disneyland. She missed the memo that it was Dapper Day, as all the locals are now filtering into the parks in Dapper attire.

Beg your pardon, but what does this post have to do with the OP question about parking?

But you forget he will take Disney transportation when he parks at the TT&C to go to the MK....

Especially since DHS typically has an earlier closing time than MK and buses between the two parks may not be running. Either way, he's going to get to experience the Magic that is Disney transportation!

Ooops wrong thread. I deleted.

Drive. It will save you tons of time. Since they started the busses between parks, we have used them many times. We have had to wait for a very long time at DHS to get a bus to any other park. The quickest bus was from AK to MK.
