>>How were your experiences with the transportation to MK and AK? Also was your room close to the lobby or Epcot? Trying to decide which area I should request.<<

Took buses to both places. It all depends on timing. One morning we came down the ramp to the Beach Club bus stop and the MK bus was leaving. Driver actually stopped and waited for us. He had a smile on his face and was the most pleasant fellow.

On Sunday afternoon, we needed to go to the Grand Floridian for dinner at Narcoossee's. We walked out of our room at 3:50pm and got to the GF at 4:50pm. This was taking a bus to MK and monorail from MK to GF.

Speaking of transportation, we were on our way to MGM one morning and saw the Friendship at the Lighthouse tie up. Guy and gal drivers were standing out front. Cheryl and I hurried down the pier and when we were about 10 yards from the boat, they went inside, shut the doors and away they went. Cheryl and I had to actually laugh it was absurd. I said, “how rude.” Cheryl looked at me and told me I could do better than that!! I was at Disney, so “rude” was as strong as I wanted to go. Never know when little ears are around. Needless to say we were astounded. AND the same thing happened on the way back. Both times, we were the only ones going for the boat. Maybe they have a time limit, but they way they did it was totally uncalled for.
