Fastest way from WL to Poly

**gregf71** · 08-23-2011, 02:37 PM

We have a couple of breakfast ADRs at the Poly during our upcoming stay and wondered what the best option is to get us from the Wilderness Lodge to the Poly.

I figure we have to take the boat from WL to the Magic Kingdom and then either the monorail or Poly boat to the Poly. Of those two, which might be faster? Is the WL boat drop off point closer to either the monorail station or the Poly boat launch?

Just back from WL and let me say the boat rides are just lovely! The bus can take a while at times, I'd take a boat to MK then another boat to Poly. That might not be the fastest but it would sure be enjoyable.

The fastest way would be by car. The next fastest way would be to walk... about 15 minutes.

The resorts use the same dock at the MK. The monorail is a couple hundred feet away.

I would have to say walk lol. I know some of the buses also go to FT. Wilderness and to GF...but I dont remember any stoping at the Poly....

Can you walk from the WL to the Poly? There are no sidewalks, crosswalks, etc. Would you just walk on the grass by the road? Does WDW have any official stance on that?

There is not a walking route from Wilderness Lodge to the Poly. I'd probably take a boat or bus to the Magic Kingdom and transfer to a Poly boat or the monorail from there. You could also take the boat to the Contemporary and pick up the monorail at that location.

Sort of but not exactly!

Correct.

I am unaware of any official stance. But I can say that I have walked around that area, and seen others also walking. It was quite safe and easy.

Agreed!!!

Resort-Resort transportation is only quick by car or taxi. Otherwise, you have to hop different transportation methods.

WL to Poly by taxi would only be about $5 with tip.

If we were in a hurry we would either drive or take a taxi.

In the past when we've stayed at WL and had reservations at the Poly we've always taken the boat to the Contemporary and then hop the monorail to the Poly.

**Mousemates** · 08-24-2011, 10:05 AM

Taxi - very quick...very convenient...relatively inexpensive for that short of a distance...less than ten bucks with tip.

**gregf71** · 08-24-2011, 02:25 PM

Is there still a bus route for a theme park or water park that goes from the Wilderness Lodge to the Polynesian? If so, how many stops are there in between the two?

**buzznwoodysmom** · 08-24-2011, 02:27 PM

We've stayed at WL 4 times now and I remember sharing a bus with Ft. Wilderness, and the GF, but I don't ever recall sharing with the Poly. Not saying it doesn't happen, just that we've never experienced that.

**jenperich** · 08-24-2011, 02:31 PM

Last year we stayed at WL and had a breakfast at Poly the first day. We took a boat to the Contemporary, and then took the monorail to the Poly. I thought that was pretty quick. I mean maybe 30-45 minutes, but as Ms. Mode said, it was very enjoyable! :-)

**TexansInNY** · 08-24-2011, 08:05 PM

Walking will get you bitter when the MK busses keep driving by

**MinnieMommie** · 08-24-2011, 10:35 PM

What DH ans I have done when staying at BLT/CR is take a boat to WL for an early morning walk and then take the boat back to CR to jump on the monorail for breakfast at the Poly. This is a most enjoyable boat ride and from CR it really is very quick to get to the Poly - we do this frequently.

**Robbieligh** · 08-24-2011, 11:35 PM

You can take a boat to the Contemporary then hop the monorail.

**VWL Mom** · 08-25-2011, 07:53 AM

We are at WL now. The morning boat to CR goes to Ft W first then CR. We took cab yesterday, it was $5 plus tip but worth it IMO
