Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I tend to think of it that way too. Not sure why, really. Aha! I'm not alone! Thanks, Mo! Course it has clearly been shown that Mo ain't right in the head sooooo..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arthuruscg 34 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I always though of it as the Left (settlement) or right side (outpost). or North (settlement) and South(outpost) becasue of the maps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alexwyattmommy 181 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 So wait, the outpost is the back? We really are considered trash if they only let us in the back door with our trailers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 So I received my 10 day you've chosen a great place to stay email and instead of ignoring I decided to read through paying attention. Correct me if I am wrong but unless there is a special circumstance there is no regular Bus transport to MK RESORT TRANSPORTATIONFrom your Resort, you can take a bus or water launch to Magic Kingdom® Park. Bus transportation is available to access the other Theme Parks, Water Parks and the Downtown Disney® area. Complimentary transportation is available one hour prior to Disney Theme Park opening time up to one hour after Disney Theme Park closing time. Additionally, buses operate until 2 a.m. from the Downtown Disney area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Correct me if I am wrong but unless there is a special circumstance there is no regular Bus transport to MK Unless the boats are not operating, there is no direct bus service to MK. However, and as most regulars know, you can take the bus to the WL and the MK bus from there. But that's not all that's incorrect on that message.Buses start appearing at the resorts at about 6:45am in order to accommodate breakfast ADRs, but they are not specifically breakfast buses.Buses also operate at the parks until the park it is clear of all guests, which can be over an hour at some parks.

True definitely some mistakes in that. Anyone want me to post the whole things so we can tear it apart? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Here's the question.Scheduled a lunch at WL. Should we walk or take the boat? And here are the answers from the Fort experts.1. The resort boat may be a little faster depending on how you walk and which direction the boat is going. Either way is nice and probably work out to about the same time depending on how fast you walk.I'd probably walk over and take the boat back... just to mix it up a little. 2. Do you have bikes? Uhh, do those experts not know about a bus to the WL? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
red...Susan 37 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 We took our bikes last time and the cast member in the front of the lodge couldn't figure out where we could leave them. She ended up hiding them in a corner where she could watch them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Uhh, do those experts not know about a bus to the WL? Jeez. Has anyone actually done that walk? I have. It's a long walk. Not something I would want to do at lunchtime in the summer. There should be a place where they have their bike rental. Absolutely. There's a bike rack back by the DVC pool. The best way to bike it to WL is to come in along the path that parallels Bay Lake- then you will arrive right at the bike racks. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've never noticed a bike rack at the front of the WL, but you're right, there has to be one at the lodge's bike rental location.It's a little bit of a hike to the main building though.

This is the WL bike rack back past the DVC pool, near the bike rental location: You are correct that it's a bit of walk from there to the lobby. We have locked our bikes up closer to the DVC entrance before, and I've seen others do so as well. You can get them under cover that way. I've only done that if we're there for a quick visit.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 On the jogging trail map they claim the loop they show is 2.5 miles. Eyeballing it that has to make the bit between the Settlement and WL approx. a mile-ish? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eyeballing it that has to make the bit between the Settlement and WL approx. a mile-ish? Yes, I've always said it's about a mile. Certainly walkable, but not a pleasant walk in the heat of day. It's an easy bike ride. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HappyCamper...Deb 61 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I'm sure this question has been asked, but I'm being lazy...I'm looking at getting a tent site July 10-15 for myself. I'm not doing it for the pleasure of tenting in FL in July. I'm doing it to go as cheap as possible and save on hotel and rental car fees. I've got another trip at the end of July to make to pick my DD up from DCP. (Traveling from MI is $$$$$!)How early do busses from FW run to go to DTD? (I have an 8am workshop to attend at the Hilton on the 12 and 13th) Do they run that early?PS- Lou, this means we'll have two opportunities to meet. :) TCD, I'll remember to mention FF to every stranger I encounter.

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I have a question too... There's a chance I might finally go to the WL this trip (you never know). Does the bus leave from the Settlement or the Outpost? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You may or may not be waiting a long time.It's hit or miss because even the DTD buses are busy bringing people to the parks.If you have a car, drive yourself or take a cab. If we meet, it won't be on the buses. My last day as a bus driver will be tomorrow night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
