Can I get from Cali Grill to BC?

Sue · 23 Oct 18, 10:22 AM

Hi - planning a reasonably late meal at Cali Grill and can try to book soon.
My question is, will be able to get back to the Beach Club from the Contemporary if it is after 10pm?
We won’t have a car and in any case will be having with the meal so could not drive.
My thoughts are that we could walk to the entrance to MK and get a WDW bus to BC if they are still running?

We obviously couldn’t monorail back as Epcot would be closed before we got there

If MK is shut catch a bus to Disney springs then a bus to beach club!

Sue. I know it's an extra cost after a nice meal but have you thought about an Uber?
Saves a lot of hassle and will be under $15.

Thanks Mr Tom, how would I get an Uber? I don’t use data abroad, would I need to telephone?

You can't phone but you can use free wifi on your phone without charge, just turn roaming off on your phone settings to prevent a cellular provider kicking in. (You can even do this before you leave home)
Alternatively you can get a normal cab from hotel reception. If there isn't one waiting a cast member will call one for you.
I prefer Lyft to Uber as they are cheaper and don't seem to suffer the cleaning scam that very occasionally has been reported with Uber. The app is also more user friendly. With a new user code you shouldn't end up paying more than $5

Sue. Thankfully Duchy has answered this as I know about Uber and Lyft but that's my sum knowledge!

If it was me I would probably grab a Mears cab from outside.

We've eaten there a few times and got a bus back to BC without problem, but ask at the concierge desk what times exactly the buses from MK stop that night.

Thanks Mrs BC, I think we managed to do that last time I think but it was 6 years ago and my memory is fuddled
