BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Good points. Another reason I like to take the bus is that we may choose to hop to another park, and I'd rather use Disney transportation for that as well. If I drive, then I would have to drive to the next park, or leave the car and come back for it later. I'd rather not have to worry about that. Depending on timing, you can hop to another park faster than it would take for you to wait for a tram, get your car, drive to the next park, and ride another tram to the entrance. TCD Agreed. Especially given we hop quite a bit, and don't always know where we plan to end up. That way the only issue we have to deal with is which end of the Fort the golf cart is parked at.

BigTom 76 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Once I park at the Fort, my vehicle does not start again until I have to go home. djsamuel and BradyBzLyn...Mo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I know my way around WDW fairly well, so I drive to all the attractions, but I always take the bus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CampMImi 22 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I may be the only one, but I never had an issue with the bus drivers. It may have helped that the first bus we got on the driver was super handsome and totally not cranky :wave1: And we always got to where we were going quickly even if it did almost result in whiplash. Come on, it's an adventure! BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 We've been at WDW so many times I've lost count ... both with and without vehicles. We almost never drive to any park. It's too much hassle parking and taking a tram to the entrance. We have never had an issue with the bus drivers. Only issues with long waits, like 45 minutes waiting for a bus to AK. And 45 minutes waiting on our last trip for a bus to EPCOT back to the fort (that happened twice).

That can actually be quite annoying. That used to happen quite often with me, but with a bike in my tent camping days. I usually started the morning at Contemporary Food and Fun Center for breakfast, then ended the day at PI. There were a few times my bike got left at the marina overnight.

Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 We do not care how long it takes. We take two busses (Internal and External) to EPCOT. Coming back we take the monorail to the TTC and transfer to the Ferry to MK. Then we either go in MK or catch the launch back to the Fort. Just adds a different Disney transportation to our list and the kids love it. And EPCOT has an elevator for the monorail access; old fogies who are likely tired and sore by then..

LONE-STAR 370 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 One reason we take the truck now instead of the bus to is we like use one of those really big strollers that TCD and Lou love. And it is easier to throw it in the back of the truck then take it on the bus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And it is easier to throw it in the back of the truck then take it on the bus. Is it a double wide that will carry 2 150lb angels brats. And can it carry a full size cooler?I've put in a request with Disney to add a trailer hitch to the buses so that we can tow them. The kids will love it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
