WDW Car vs. Bus

We have found that using a car will take us less time than the bus.  AK and DHS have fairly small parking lots so it doesn't take long to park, and ride the tram or even walk to the front gates.  EP has a large parking lot however the car is still our 1st choice.  MK can go either way for us due to the Ticket and Transportation Center (TTC).   

Arriving by car to MK is a little more complex because you have to park at the TTC and then take the monorail or ferry.  However, their wait is normally shorter than the wait for a bus.  We usually choose Ferry because the monorail line always looks so long.   

Please Note:  if you plan on leaving after Wishes, so do tens of thousands of other people and you will find yourself waiting in line 20-40 minutes for the monorail or ferry.  However, there are a few tricks for arriving at/departing from MK and the parking lot when the crowds are heavy.    

TO MK:

1. If the Express monorail line is backed up, try the Resort monorail line. Often the line is much smaller.  Many don't realize they both stop at the TTC.

2. If the large Ferry line is very long, walk over to the Poly and take the small ferry to MK. 

FROM MK:

1. If the Express monorail line is backed up, try the Resort monorail line. Many don't realize they both stop at the TTC.

2. If the large Ferry line is also very long, take the small ferry to the Poly and walk over to the TTC

3. When all of the monorail and Ferry lines at MK seem like they are miles long, walk to the Contemporary and get right on the monorail, then get off at the TTC.  *O*
