Welcome to planDisney. I see that you are just a couple of weeks away from traveling across the pond to vacation at
The Most Magical Place on Earth. After arriving by jet, you will have the opportunity to visit the Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts via monorail, boat, Skyliner, and bus. We love taking them all, and I bet you will as well. For now lets get to your question about buses.
The
Walt Disney World Bus Service operates between Disney Springs and Disney Resort Hotels during Disney Springs operating hours and ends one hour after closing. You can get to the bus area through the walkway between the Kate Spade New York and Jo Malone London stores or the walkway by the Coca-Cola Store. The buses do not travel directly to any of the Walt Disney World Parks. Here are the best options to get to each of the parks from Disney Springs
Magic Kingdom: take the bus to The Contemporary Resort, then walk or take the Disney Monorail.
Animal Kingdom - take the bus to either of the Disney Animal Kingdom Lodge Resorts and then take the bus.
EPCOT - There are a couple of fun options here. You can take the bus to Disney’s Riviera Resort and from there take the Disney Skyliner over. The other option is to take the bus over to Disney’s Beach Club Resort and then walk to the International Gateway at the back of EPCOT.
Hollywood Studios - You can take the bus from any nearby resort, but I recommend taking the bus to Disney’s Riviera Resort and riding the Disney Skyliner for the quickest and most scenic views.
When Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park is open, you can take a bus from Disney Springs. You can also take the water transportation over to the following resorts: Disney’s Saratoga Springs, Old Key West, and Port Orleans Resorts.
I also highly recommend downloading the My Disney Experience app. If you go to the location button, which looks like an upside-down teardrop, you will be taken to a map of the Disney Resorts area. At the top, you will find the Transportation button. You can use this to find the best route to any destination you want.
Janine, I hope this helps make your navigation from Disney Springs to the resort hotels and parks magical. If you need any additional assistance, please stop by
planDisney, and we’ll be happy to help. Where here to help.
See ya real soon,
Robert
