    Does Blizzard Beach have shuttles to bring you to parks? If not what is the best way to get to Epcot from Blizzard Beach and roughly how long is the ride? (Staying on property)

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Stefania!

    Welcome to planDisney! We are DELIGHTED you stopped by and honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! Get ready for churros in one hand, a Mickey-shaped pretzel in the other, and a heart full of WOW moments. From the roar of the Kilimanjaro Safaris at Animal Kingdom to the sparkle of Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom, there is MAGIC waiting for you morning to night. So lace up those comfy shoes because your Disney story is about to begin!

    What a great question! I wanted to let you know that Disney Bus Transportation is not available from Blizzard Beach to another Disney Theme Park. However, I do have some TIGGER-ific news for you! If you’re leaving Blizzard Beach and want to get to EPCOT as quickly as possible, one of the smartest (and most scenic) routes is to make your way to the Animal Kingdom bus hub and head over to the Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. Here’s how it works...

    After splashing your last splash at Blizzard Beach, hop on the bus headed for Animal Kingdom. The ride is quick and drops you at the park’s main bus loop, aka the “hub.” From there, look for the Yacht & Beach Club bus and climb aboard.

    Once you’re at Yacht & Beach Club, you will feel like you have entered a seaside retreat—complete with the gentle breeze off Crescent Lake. From the bus stop, it’s a beautiful 5–7 minute stroll along the waterfront straight to EPCOT’s International Gateway entrance. This “back door” to EPCOT is tucked between the U.K. and France pavilions in World Showcase, so you’ll be starting your park day with either fish & chips or a warm croissant—talk about a win-win! It’s often less crowded than the main entrance, which means less waiting and more adventuring.

    Even if you have to wait a bit for connections, you’ll still get the bonus of a peaceful, picturesque drive before diving into the fun. So grab your towel, dry off, and get ready to trade your water slides for Spaceship Earth in no time! Regarding how long it will take you, I would plan between 35 and 45 minutes for the entire trip.

    Another option, especially if you’re looking for speed and convenience, is to take a Minnie Van from Blizzard Beach straight to EPCOT. These polka-dot SUVs, operated by Disney and bookable through the Lyft app, will whisk you directly to the park without any bus transfers or extra walking.

    If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way!

    Have a MAGICAL day!
