Polynesian bus question

CleveRocks · 11-09-2008

February will be my first time at Polynesian, but far from my first time at WDW. I have a Poly bus question for y'all.

I have a MK view room and am requesting a room in Tahiti. IF I get that request, I know I'll be relatively close to the TTC. So my question is, when we want to go by bus to Animal Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios, will we be better off getting a bus at Poly itself or walking to the TTC and catching an AK or DHS bus there?

The only time I caught an AK bus at the TTC (we were coming from MK), it seemed like a pretty long wait. Do you think the park buses at TTC run less often than at the resorts?

I don't know the answer to your question, but can I add to it? If you are staying at the polynesian, how easy is it to get to an early breakfast at the other resorts near there? Thanks for letting me tag on to your question. I am plotting a trip, if I can get away with it...

Have a good trip...

If you mean Grand Floridian or Contemporary, it's very easy. I believe the resort monorail starts running at 7 a.m.

My guess would be that it is easier to get a bus to AK from the Poly than to walk to the TTC and hop a bus from there. I would assume that most people who are driving to the TTC are driving there to go to MK. If they already have a car, why would they not just drive to AK? I say get it from the Poly!

Going to Epcot, MK, GF, Contempary take the monorail. All others just take the bus from Poly. You will only be competing with other Poly guest. You can take the ferry to MK as well.

do some of the buses double up with each other? I think that I remember being on a contemporary bus to AK, that went to GF first before leaving to go to AK... Can't remember exactly, but can anyone answer that?

It will take you much longer to get anywhere, and longer to get home afterwards. From the TTC, you go directly to the park (or directly from park to Poly.) It adds at least another 10 minutes onto the trip if you have to stop other places, and while it doesn't sound like much, it sure can seem like a lot if you're tired and just want to get to bed!

Enjoy the Poly. We were there this spring and it was great.

Thanks so much for this info! It confirms what I was thinking.

You are right...10 minutes at the end of the day can seem much longer!

If you can, go to the TTC. The buses at the Polynesian, in my opinion, are horrible.
