I highly recommend the Megabus, its online only ticketing option weeds out the riffraf that you usually get on the Greyhound. Megabus also has free wifi for the duration of your trip which is pretty sweet. The bus picks you up in MN near the Metrodome or at the University stop however they only advertise one stop (weird I know).
I just took Megabus from Chicago to Minneapolis and it was wonderful, I honestly have no complaints, I wish I could say that about the greyhound back. I've also taken megabus to Indianapolis for IRI and found it great.
Likewise, once you get to Chicago you can hop on another bus to Kansas City. Amtrak is incredibly expensive these days and you would save a large amount of money taking the bus. The 15 minute transfer would not happen, due to our lovely weather the bus usually runs 30 minutes late.
If you want to fly to Kansas City you can take southwest, its pretty darn cheap, it flies out of MSP as well as MDW in Chicago.
If you choose to travel the bus system through Chicago and have a long wait feel free to let me know, I can show you around the city.
