Disney World’s water parks are making a bus transportation move that will make getting to Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon even more confusing and time consuming.
Beginning May 29, 2016 Disney World will implement new bus routes to reach Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.
In order to reach Blizzard Beach, you will be required to first take a bus to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, then transfer to the bus dedicated to travel to Blizzard Beach.
To make things more confusing, to get to Typhoon Lagoon, you may be required to take a bus to Disney Springs. It is said that you may not need to use the Disney Springs bus before 1pm, but may need that bus transfer after 1pm. Highly confused yet?
Well, to get to Disney Springs, you first need to transfer at a Disney hotel. You could end up leaving a Disney theme park, going to a hotel, then going to Disney Springs, then going to Typhoon Lagoon. You would then need to return to Disney Springs and transfer to your hotel to get back to your room.
Uggh, just rent a car or call an Uber. Why do guests paying so much money to stay onsite need added levels of confusion and time wasted?

I once took the bus from AKV to TL and or took over 45 minutes. I'll never not drive our own car to the water parks. Parking is so easy there anyway.

Would it be possible, as well as quicker, to just walk to blizzard beach from the all star resorts?

Long walk, but probably

So is this something that is permanent or just something they're trying.

Maybe this would make more sense in water park "off season" since fewer guests? But just in time for summer season is CRAZY!

We have been renting a car for years, it never costs me more than 150.00 for a week using Dollar rental. Its so much easier to leave when I wanna leave and not have to wait for a bus/boat/monorail, even on the busiest days, I have never waited more than 5 minutes for a tram. The only park I take a bus to is Magic Kingdom, because to drive you also then need to take a tram AND a boat or monorail.....altho, many times we have just taken the boat because it is a pretty ride. Its also nice to just get in your car and drive to the resort....I have wasted endless amounts of time for that Disney magic bus from the airport....then it takes FOREVER to get to your resort if you are not the first drop off. It also picks you up impossibly early for a flight on leave day. One time took 5 hours from airport to resort because when we landed and got our luggage, it was still another hour and a half before the bus was coming.....I could have been AT my resort or in a park in that time frame. I have learned over the many years of going to Disney, our own (rented) car is really nice, we leave things in it, extra water, food, a jacket.
