Transport between Blizzard beach and Animal Kingdom

Scottishmam · 21 Jun 19, 12:35 PM

Hi I wasn't able to get a FOP FastPass for our AK day (as it is our first day). We managed to get one for 3.30pm on the day we are at Blizzard beach. Is this doable? We expect to get to BB as soon as it opens. Will we have time to do most things by the time we need to go to AK? How long will it take us to get there and what would be the easiest way to get there? I'm thinking Uber or Lyft or Minnie Van? Where exactly would you get one of these at Blizzard Beach? Thanks

You can do most of Blizzard Beach in the morning if you get there for opening. Get the ski lift to the top of the mountain and do Summit Plummett first, then back up the stairs for Slush Gusher and the family raft ride. The next busiest slide is the racing slides so do that next.

The other slides don't get as busy and you can take your time round those. You can do all the main slides in a couple of hours and then relax

If you want to save some brass, get the Disney Bus from Blizzard Beach to either Coronado Springs or Animal Kingdom Lodge and then a bus to Animal Kingdom.

Great thanks for the advice

Yes very easily done if you get to BB at opening time. We don't do much other than the lazy river after midday / 1pm as the queues are too long. Do all the rides as soon as you get there. I would just get Disney transport to AK.

Great - we'll do that then. Can you get a bus straight from BB to AK or would we need to swap somewhere? I know the AK bus from hotels used to go via BB but don't think that happens anymore. Thanks.

It is a couple of years since I went to BB and AK, I am sure I got a bus directly. However I could be wrong or it could have changed since then.

If there isn't a direct bus then get a bus from BB to Animal Kingdom Lodge and then from there get a bus to AK, should be easy as you will be dropped at the same bus stop you need to then get the next bus from.
