We always do the boat to the Magic Kingdom, but we are probably some of the only ones with ZERO patience for buses. This could be in large part to us having 3 small children and a double stroller. I know everyone loves to see us all fighting when we get on the bus :) The last couple of times, we haven't had our own car and have had to ride the buses. I just feel like we have such a huge time loss with them. If we don't have a golf cart to get to the settlement, we often walk. If you don't have kids, the buses aren't as bad, but definitely plan for a long wait time unless you get lucky.
