It’s important to note that all Disney Resorts offer bus service to Disney Springs year-round, including Old Key West. Bus service to the venue begins approximately 30 minutes before Disney Springs opens each morning. The bus drops you off at the Town Center entrance. When you return, you can take the walkway near the Coca Cola Store or by Wolf-Gang Puck Bar and Grill back to the bus stop for Disney’s Old Key West. Since Old Key West is a Disney Springs Resort, the bus stop is conveniently located at the first bus stop area.
We have found that most guests aren’t aware that buses service this route. While the boat ride is lovely, the bus is often faster. However, we often prefer to take the route that will get us to our destination with less steps. For reference, the boat service drops guests off at the Marketplace dock, which is in an entirely different area than the bus stop. Of course, you’ll have to figure that out when both bus and boat service are operating.
