Hi currently in buda pest whats the best way to get to croatia and where to stay etc?

How to go from buda pest to dubrovnik
When I did it I just jumped on the train to Split and there were about 50 old ladies waiting for the tourists to stay at their houses. We ended up getting an awesome house with a great view, just luck of the draw really. From there it is easy to go to the islands.
Malev & SkyEurope fly from Budapest to Dubrovnik:

Unless you go by plane, Budapest to Dubrovnik would be a bit of a trek, you might want to pick somewhere between the two - Zagreb or Split - and stay there for a night or two. I don't know about buses but I think the train will go to Zagreb, then on to Split from where you would get a bus to Dubrovnik. Budapest to Split from bahn.de at best will take 12 hours but could take up to 18 hours and the bus from Split to Dubrovnik takes around 4 hours. So all in all you're talking about 16 hours minimum but it could be up to 24 hours given all the changes you have to make, it might not even be possible to do it without staying in Split as you could get to Split so late that you miss the last bus to Dubrovnik.
blankfrack is totally right.
thats probably the best way.
budapest-zagreb - split eurail
and there is a bus that runs really often
