We’ve Ridden Every Bus Route at Disney’s Coronado Springs. Here’s How Long it Takes!
We all know that an on-property stay at Disney World offers numerous benefits, including complimentary transportation. All you have to do is sit back, relax, and leave the driving to Disney. That said, we’re often asked the same question: How long does it take?
Unfortunately, we can’t estimate how long you’ll have to wait at the bus stop. But we can tell you the average travel time from Disney’s Coronado Springs to destinations like Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs. We’ve tracked these routes (multiple times) to provide a fair average.
Below, we’ve provided the average travel time from the last bus stop that leaves the resort to each destination. (If you want the specifics from each bus stop, they are available in our paid planning program.) Disney’s Coronado Springs has four bus stops, one in each resort section. The theme park buses enter the resort off Western Way and start at the Casitas (bus stop 2) before looping the resort. The shared stop between El Centro and Gran Destino Tower is the last stop (bus stop 1) before the bus exits the resort to travel to its destination. An exception to this rule is the Disney Springs bus. It enters the resort off Buena Vista Drive and drops guests off at El Centro/Gran Destino Tower (bus stop 1) first. Then, it continues to the Casitas (bus stop 2) and loops the resort. The Disney Springs bus exits the resort after it stops at the Cabanas (bus stop 4).
Here are our tracked times for the buses at Disney’s Coronado Springs. As mentioned above, our travel times do not include how long we waited for the bus. Wait times signs are posted at the resort bus stop, indicating when the next bus will arrive. The times below are how long it takes to get between the resort and the destination. Again, these are the average of several trips and do not consider extenuating circumstances like significant traffic.
| Buses From: | To: | Time: |
|---|---|---|
| Bus Stop 1 | Magic Kingdom | 12 minutes |
| Bus Stop 1 | EPCOT | 9 minutes |
| Bus Stop 1 | Disney’s Hollywood Studios | 8 minutes |
| Bus Stop 1 | Disney’s Animal Kingdom | 9 minutes |
| Cabanas 4 | Disney Springs | 15 minutes |
