Our Average Bus Travel Times for Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter

One of the most significant benefits of staying at a Walt Disney World Resort is having access to complimentary transportation options to popular destinations. When you stay at Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter, those options include the resort’s bus service and an additional water taxi service to Disney Springs. If desired, you can also walk between the resort and neighboring Port Orleans Riverside. For this article, we want to focus on how long the buses take to travel to these destinations.

Unfortunately, we can’t estimate how long you’ll have to wait for the bus. But we can share the average time it takes to travel from Port Orleans French Quarter to the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs. We’ve tracked these routes (multiple times) to come up with a fair average.

We mentioned this in our Riverside bus travel times, but I wanted to clarify that bus service is provided from the French Quarter to every destination listed above. We have noticed that sometimes the wait times sign at the bus stop says “take a boat” for Disney Springs. The sign is slightly misleading and will often change if you wait long enough. Regardless, the bus for Disney Springs is coming. (This bus doubles as the internal bus to Riverside.)

Port Orleans French Quarter only has one bus stop. When you exit the resort’s front entrance, it will be to your immediate right. The bus stop is covered, but since the French Quarter is an exterior resort, you’ll have to walk outside to and from your room to reach it. Make sure to remember umbrellas and other rain gear in the event of rain.

Below, we’ve provided the average travel time from the last bus stop that leaves the resort to each destination. (The specifics for individual bus stops are available in our paid planning program.) Note that 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. Again, these are the average of several trips and do not consider extenuating circumstances like significant traffic.
