Hi Tracy!
Welcome to Walt Disney World and congratulations on your big upcoming vacation. One of the many reasons I love Walt Disney World is because of the conveniences and amenities included for all Guests and the transportation system is a wonderful example.
All Guests, regardless if they are staying at a Disney owned hotel, have complimentary access to Disney's network of monorails, buses and boats. Click here to view some
Disney Transportation Frequently Asked Questions.
Therefore to answer your question, you may use the Walt Disney World transportation network as soon as you arrive. You do not have to show your Magic Band nor do anything more than find the bus, monorail, or boat traveling to your destination. It really is as lovely as it sounds.
Have a great time with your Character Breakfast Tracy! You have chosen a great way to begin your
MAGICAL vacation. Please come back to the Disney Parks Mom Panel if you have any further vacation planning questions.
Blessings,
Brenda ºOº
