Once I parked in Downtown Disney...it took an hour to get to Magic Kingdom after riding a bus to Polynesian Resort and riding the monorail to TTC & then Magic Kingdom.
Also during that trip, it took 45min to get from Magic Kingdom to MGM-Studios after riding monorail to TTC and then waiting, and riding a bus, to MGM Studios.
So is it any more or less awkward? You be the judge...
