How Long Does It Take? The Average Bus Travel Times for Disney’s Beach Club
As we continue our popular travel times series, we’ll look at how long the bus routes take from Disney’s Beach Club to other popular destinations. We consider complimentary transportation one of the most significant benefits available to resort guests. Let’s face it. If you take the bus or whatever mode is available at your resort, your trip will be much less stressful. You won’t have to worry about directions or parking logistics. It’s especially nice not to have to find your car after a long day in the parks!
Disney’s Beach Club guests can access several forms of complimentary transportation from the resort: the Skyliner, boats, buses, and walking paths. (You can boat or walk to Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios from this resort!)
Regarding the buses, you’ll need to take them when visiting the Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs. Beach Club shares a bus service with the neighboring Yacht Club for Magic Kingdom. The resort shares bus services with Yacht Club and BoardWalk for Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney Springs. Since Beach Club is the second stop, it’s always in the middle. Here’s how the routes work:
- Disney’s Yacht Club (1st Stop)
- Disney’s Beach Club (2nd Stop)
- Disney’s BoardWalk (3rd Stop)
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom (Destination)
on the return trip
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom (Board Bus)
- Disney’s Yacht Club (1st Stop)
- Disney’s Beach Club (2nd Stop)
- Disney’s BoardWalk (Last Stop)
*Extra buses service the resorts first thing in the morning when more people travel to the parks. So you shouldn’t have to worry about the bus filling up at the Yacht Club before it reaches the Beach Club. We’ve been staying at the Beach Club regularly for over a decade and would run into this issue years ago. But, from our experience, it appears to have been corrected.
Beach Club’s bus stop is to the left, down a long covered walkway outside the resort’s front entrance. The entire stop is under a covered pavilion with a couple of benches.
Here are our average bus travel times from the Beach Club. It’s important to note that these times do not include how long we waited for the bus. Wait times signs are available at the resort bus stop, indicating when the next bus will arrive. The times below are how long it takes to get from the resort to the destination. They are the average of several trips and do not consider extenuating circumstances like significant traffic. Also, remember our travel times include the extra stop at Disney’s Boardwalk for Animal Kingdom and Disney Springs.
| Buses From: | To: | Time: |
|---|---|---|
| Beach Club | Magic Kingdom | 15 minutes |
| Beach Club | Animal Kingdom | 21 minutes |
| Beach Club | Disney Springs | 17 minutes |
