Transportation to BoardWalk from Wilderness Lodge

[firecatgirl]

Wondering the best way to get to the BoardWalk in the morning for a dining reservation at 9:10am from the Wilderness Lodge? We haven't bee since October 2019 and I don't remember buses going to resorts. I imagine taking the boat to MK and then taking a bus to the BoardWalk inn would be the best option? TIA for any suggestions.

Either Boat to MK then Bus to Boardwalk as you said, or Bus to Studios then either Walk/Boat/Skyliner to Boardwalk.

I’d take the bus from wilderness lodge to studios and take the boat or walk to the boardwalk from there.

Thank you both!

MEARS cab. DW & I used to do the WDW bus run around - just got tired of it for restaurant travel.
The Math: Each and every stop (on a good day), is a 20 minute wait. Two legs = 20x2+20x2, or about 80 minutes. We USED to allow a good hour for transportation to Restaurants.

Now? Mears. MANY locations end up being a $15/leg per two people trip.

Do yourself a favor and take an Uber/lyft to boardwalk. It will take 10min and no aggravation of switching modes of transportation. You’ll be glad you did.

Whenever we need to go from one resort to another, we usually Uber. It's pretty inexpensive and it saves the hassle of having to wait for a bus and then switching modes of transportation

To each their own but I would much prefer taking the bus to DHS and then walking or taking the boat to Boardwalk. It adds to the experience of having a meal at the boardwalk by having to use different forms of transportation to get there.

Thank you I didn’t realize this was an option
I appreciate the suggestion

That was my original thought but for some reason thought they weren’t doing that now? Glad to hear otherwise. Thank you

Surprisingly we have never been to the boardwalk so I’m sure this is a very true statement. This would definitely keep me in my Disney bubble

Uber and Lyft still operate, but the Red and white polka dotted Mini Lyfts are what are not in operation.

I wonder if you were confused about the reports of Ubers etc being denied entry to resorts if the passenger didn’t have an ADR. That is still apparently happening (at some resorts, especially those near parks), but if you have an ADR the driver will be allowed in.

This is what I would recommend, too...
...and if the wait for a bus to DHS gets uncomfortably long and you start to get short on time -- or if it starts pouring and you decide walking part of the way isn't a good idea -- there's always the option of catching a rideshare.

We took an Uber from Wilderness to Yacht Club. No fuss no muss, easy and time saving. Worth every penny and as I recall it was very reasonable!

Agree. If you’re staying on property they just want to see your Id and you’re through. I gave up with the buses at FW and just take an Uber or taxi. Even to the parks except MK.

So when you go to Pizza Hut, do you bike halfway and then walk?

If I viewed dining at the boardwalk the same as going to a Pizza Hut I would just get something to eat at the food court at wilderness lodge. Or order Pizza Hut to the wilderness lodge.
