Things You Need to Know
Transportation at Disney World is subject to availability and operating hours. For example, taking a bus from a theme park to a resort earlier in the day can be challenging. In the morning, the priority is getting guests to the park. So, if a bus transfer is required before 10:00 a.m., we usually take a car service for breakfast reservations.
It’s also important to note that some routes we’ve shared offer alternative options. For example, if you’re visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, you might prefer to take a bus to Disney Springs and then take a bus directly to the resort. We’ve tried to share the most straightforward ways.
