Hi Jeanne!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I'm so excited to see you will be visiting Walt Disney World Resort next month!
You are going to love staying at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort during your upcoming trip. I've previously enjoyed two lovely stays at this popular Disney Resort hotel and loved the immersive theming and attention to detail at every turn.
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue is such a fun way to kick off your vacation! You will be entertained by the Pioneer Hall Players as you feast on buckets of fried chicken, smoked BBQ ribs and "all the fixins." If you are hoping to utilize Disney's complimentary transportation, you will want to catch a bus bound for Magic Kingdom Park and then transfer to the
water launch (water taxi) headed for
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. The motor launch will drop you near The Settlement, where Pioneer Hall is located. I would allow at least 90 minutes for your travel time when utilizing Disney's complimentary transportation.
Minnie Van Service is a fun way to travel in style throughout Walt Disney World Resort, if you don't mind the added cost. From Disney's Art of Animation Resort, Minnie Van Service should be your quickest, most direct route of transportation as you can be dropped off at The Settlement and will not need to make the transfer at Magic Kingdom Park.
I hope this information has been helpful to you, Jeanne. Please stop by again with any additional questions. We would love to assist you further in planning a magical trip!
Happy Travels,
Jodie
