Welcome to planDisney, Gregory! Thanks for stopping by with this terrific transportation question! I’m always thrilled to help another resident of the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
I’m happy to report that there is
complimentary bus service to most Walt Disney World locations, including
Art of Animation and all four theme parks. At Art of Animation, you’ll find the bus stop in front of Animation Hall, the resort’s main lobby building. It's near the giant illustration of Lightning McQueen. You can’t miss it!
One helpful tip for using the bus at Walt Disney World is that you can check bus times on the My Disney Experience app. Once you’re all checked in at your hotel you can click the menu icon (the three lines in the bottom right corner), go to "Future Plans," tap your hotel reservation, and then “See Bus Times.” This will show you the estimated arrival times for theme park buses to your resort. How useful is that?
Art of Animation is also near the
Skyliner, a high-flying transportation option for getting to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. A Skyliner station is located between Art of Animation and Pop Century Resort, and from there these aerial gondolas can take you to Caribbean Beach Resort, Rivera Resort, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT. It’s always great to have another option for getting around Walt Disney World. And don’t forget, there’s always the Minnie Van service if you’d like to arrive in style!
Gregory, I hope this information helps you create a fantastic vacation plan. If you have any other questions about your upcoming visit to Walt Disney World, pop right back to planDisney and ask away! Our knowledgeable panelists are always happy to help!
Magical travels!
