Thanks for the tip ! Off topic but do you know if Lyft is dropping off closer than the busses at the Hollywood entrance? That would be a factor too for us !Fun!
Yes, bus only to DHS. If you have APs/Hoppers, you could monorail to Epcot, walk through the park/out the IG/over to DHS... if you really want to get your steps in!
We've returned to CR that way (I'll take any excuse to spend even a brief time in Epcot), but it's not the most effecient use of time.
You can have bad bus service anywhere/anytime, but I've always been quite pleased with the bus service at CR. But since the bus stop is pretty much right there at the entrance, you can eyeball the wait time board (or look at the app) and make a game-time decision. If it's showing the default "every 20 minutes" without a time, I'll think twice about maybe grabbing a cab (usually waiting out front of CR) or looking for Minnie Van/Uber/Lyft as applicable.
We wished we liked bloody marys. That bar looked amazing.
For HS i have always used the bus. Sometimes I minnie van to or from Epcot. The double mono to mono thing can get old for cr and gf. For poly I walk to TTC then mono to Epcot.
We are really looking forward to this in May. Dh and I had an ADR for it last December but when we had to change our vacation dates 3 months prior to our vacation we lost all of our ADRs.
I was so disappointed because I never could get that one back (I managed to get the rest rescheduled). This will be a treat but it'll be our adult dd and her boyfriend with us in May so double the price but take off an additional 10% since we had TiW. It's still over $300 but worth it for a special occasion (our kids haven't been since 2007, 4 prepubescent kids in one trip back then was enough for a lifetime, lol)!
Your dd will love it!We are really looking forward to this in May. Dh and I had an ADR for it last December but when we had to change our vacation dates 3 months prior to our vacation we lost all of our ADRs.
Until the Skyliner is running! That would be another mode of transportation! Of course, taking the monorail to Epcot, then walking the (1 mile?) to the IG then taking the Skyliner? That would include a transfer in the CBR station to get to DHS, right? Nevermind....that would really take too much time but still, fun to check out the gondola system!
You must know my dd!
Funny, but we are also planning MK rope drop that day. Then brunch at 12:45, then pretty much nothing but hanging at CBR for some swimming and leisure. Our only set plans after brunch is dinner at 19:30 at Sebastians at CBR. We'll see how everyone feels. I'm used to total commando park days so I'm really struggling with dialing it back for our family. Dh and I go go go but I know my dd will enjoy a more leisurely pace.
) since we usually stay at the Yacht and Beach Club. We booked a tower lake view and received a text around 11 that our room was ready, Yay! Room 4620. We stopped by the desk to pick up birthday pins since we were celebrating birthdays and I asked if there was anything we could upgrade to. The CM checked and said a Standard Club level room was available for 150 extra for the two nights so we said yes! The best decision we could have made!! Oh my goodness, I feel we're spoiled for life! Even though we've never stayed club level before and have nothing to compare it to, I know there's something special about the Tower Club. (We're staying club level at the YC in September so we will see!)
I think I confused the Club names, we were on the 12th Floor, that's the Atrium club? Can't even imagine what the 14th Floor would be like
I had some pretty bad waits in December at GF and other monorail resorts. I think the holiday season and people touring the monorail resort trees and gingerbread displays helped cause some additional wait times. It normally is much better than the original MK security. I've walked up at CR with no line and a giant cake box and made it through very fast.
