see now if this was Tokyo, a monorail could be built that services each resort.

but it’s not.

I just came from our first WDW vacation in January - but have been a veteran of visits there on business (and at DLR). Almost every single travel guide, website, and brochure recommend that you visit other restaurants and sites at the resorts even if you don’t stay there.

Also - the in house video for what to do at the resort mentions this too.

SO - if there is so much promotion at visiting resorts even though you’re not staying there - the least the WDW management could do is create a way for us to get around a LITTLE easier. Maybe a resort way station and add it to the bus schedule. Or a resort bus…

I’m eating dinner way before 9, so I’ve never come up against that situation. That would be something to plan ahead for when making your ADRs I suppose. (And another benefit of staying on site.)

And, if you mean a single van, then how do you decide who gets picked up next? There would have to be enough vans to make the service worthwhile to advertise, and to make sure guests aren’t waiting for 2 hours by the curb waiting to be picked up.

And then how do you get home, especially on days when MK closes before 9pm, if you go there for dinner? You need to take a bus to DTD and then reconnect to your resort. Believe me when I tell you it feels as though you can walk faster.

Eric and Matt, keep in mind I said a “van”. This is not SOOO many people that your resort will be packed to the gills with people.

I’m actually planning to do this my trip this July 8. I really am DYING to try places like Artist’s Point, Whispering Canyon Cafe, Beaches and Cream, and others.

In my past 2 times going to WDW, I didn’t travel much around to the different resorts, but I believe it’s pretty easy to do so, right? The Boardwalk is just a stone’s throw from Epcot I’ve heard, Animal Kingdom Lodge is next to Animal Kingdom park, and there are buses to basicly every other resort from all the different parks.

Let’s say you want to eat at Artist’s Point. You just go to whatever park for the day, leave like an hour before your priority reservation, hop on the bus to Wilderness Lodge, and go there. I plan to visit Animal Kingdom Lodge on the same day I go to Animal Kingdom Park. Same thing with Beaches and Cream…I’ll go on the same day I go to Epcot.

Am I wrong in this, or is a lot more complicated??
