There are no buses from the Fort to the MK, just to the other Parks. I didn't know that, but it makes sense,with such nice boats available - we've only taken the Ft. Wilderness bus to DTD, and that was just because of construction. We always have a car at the cabins and take advantage of free parking at Epcot, HS, Animal Kingdom... I think we'll do the boat to Contemporary route, and let Grandpa and my husband sleep in. I knew Fort fiends would have the best answer! Just for curiosity's sake, what do fort folks do if they want to make it for "rope drop"? (We've never tried before.) D
