Quickest way from Beach Club to Wilderness Lodge?

[artvandelay]

The three choices I cam up with are:

1 Walk thru Int'l Gateway to the front of Epcot and get the bus to the Wilderness Lodge

2 Take the boat to MGM and get a bus to Wilderness Lodge there

3 Bus to MK and get the boat to WL

I'm thinking #2 sounds the easiest and fastest. Any thoughts or alternate ideas?

I advise against number 1 if people dont plan on going to Epcot and wasting a day or if they dont have a hopper.

Otherwise I would do number 2. Number 3 takes longer, as that boat has a lower capacity and takes long to arrive.

I would go with your #2 option if you don't have access to a car.

Call a taxi

I agree with call a taxi. All of your options with WDW transport will take a minimum 1 hour.

From the BC bus stop, take first bus to anywhere, then take WL bus from there. (might be under an hour if you get lucky)

There is NO quick way to get to the Wilderness Lodge!.:brickThis is where I usually stay.)
I usually walk through to Epcot and take a bus from there or the Monorail to Magic Kingdom and then a boat. It depends on the weather and how much time I have. This December I found that there was NO WAY from the Ticket and Transportation Center (why it is called that is a Disney Mystery!) to Wilderness Lodge.
I usually ask at the location where I am as to the best way to get from one location to another - they usually have the best directions. But the Wilderness Lodge - that's why it is called 'Wilderness' - it is hard to get to in a rapid manner. 349 Days to go to WL

May not be fast, but another option is to go to MK and take the monorail to The Contemporary. From Contemporary you can boat to Wilderness Lodge. Not the fastest way, but it's a nice ride by boat over to Wilderness Lodge. For that matter you can take a boat from MK itself. Just a suggestion for something different if time's not an issue.

If you can't drive there (because that would probably be the best option)...as mentioned, take a taxi. However if you don't want to go that route, if you can park hop, I'd say walk to the front of Epcot and catch a bus. Boats take a while to get where they're going and have to make multiple stops, and chances are you may have to wait for the bus to WL too (either at MGM or Epcot)...by walking you reduce wait time and hey, you get a nice work out too. Your heart will thank you.

Depends on time and what you like to do.

#2 sounds a little faster.

But my kids and wife love to do the boat ride so if time is not a factor, we have gone to MK and taken the boat ride to Wilderness Lodge. The kids like the fact that the boat goes over the road.

Another option is to just walk to MGM and then get a bus to WL...sometimes it's quicker than waiting on a boat from BC, depending on crowds, etc...it's a nice walk too, and only takes about 10-15 minutes...and then you don't have to waste an admission to Epcot (as someone else talked about above)

Thanks for the ideas. We'll not have a car this time, and we have a group of 8, so it would be two taxis.

I think the Epcot route is probably the quickest.
