Hi Lisa,
You are definitely in for a treat with an upcoming stay at
Disney's Contemporary Resort! This iconic, modern themed Resort remains one of my favorite places to stay at Walt Disney World. No matter how many times I visit, the thrill of seeing monorails zipping through the Contemporary Tower just never gets old.
Disney's Contemporary Resort is the most conveniently located Resort to Magic Kingdom, and the only Resort from which it is possible to walk. Other transportation options to Magic Kingdom include the monorail (of course!) as well as water taxi.
If you are looking to travel to Epcot, it can also be accessed by monorail. To do so, you will simply take the Resort monorail line to the Transportation and Ticket Center, where you will then transfer to the Epcot monorail line to complete the journey.
For all other destinations across Walt Disney World Resort, including
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park,
Disney's Hollywood Studios,
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park,
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park, and
Disney Springs, round trip complimentary bus transportation is available from Disney's Contemporary Resort. All buses can be accessed from the bus stop located just outside the main lobby. There are plenty of covered benches to keep you comfortable while you wait, and electronic monitor screens will post the expected arrival time for the next bus for your selected destination.
Happy travels!
Trish
