Hi Robin!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
This is a good question because the only
bus service running to
Disney Springs is from any of Disney Resort hotels, or a one-way service from the 4 theme parks (Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park) after 4.00pm each day. There is no direct bus service operating from the water parks (Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and Disney's Blizzard Beach) to Disney Springs, so you would need to take a bus to any of the Disney Resort hotels and transfer to another bus from there. I would take the bus to
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa (which is the closest Disney Resort hotel to Disney Springs) and transfer to a boat or take the short walk across to Disney Springs. I would also check with the Front Desk of your Disney Resort hotel to see if the bus schedules have changed to/from Disney Springs. You could also use a taxi or Disney's Minnie Van Service for a more time-efficient option. I would definitely recommend taking a car from Disney's Typhoon Lagoon to Disney Springs as it is a very short distance away.
I am very excited to see that you are staying at my favourite Disney Resort hotel -
Disney's Wilderness Lodge! You will absolutely love it there. Take some time to enjoy the lobby, the beautiful ground and pools, and soak up the stunning views over Bay Lake while you dine at
Geyser Point Bar & Grill. Also, ask for a list of Hidden Mickeys at the Front Desk. It is fun trying to find them around the hotel! The buses will start running around 45 minutes before park opening. So, as this is not early enough for your breakfast reservation, I would definitely recommend using the
Disney Minnie Van Service. They are definitely one of the most magical and efficient ways to travel around the Resort and can accommodate up to 6 Guests, and will provide 2 child seats if required. You can order the Minnie Vans by using the Lyft app on your smartphone, where you will also see the cost of using this service, and place your order. You can also order regular Lyft vehicles on the same app. Please aim to arrive at EPCOT around 30-40 minutes prior to your reservation, to give you enough time to clear the security bag check and make your way to
Garden Grill Restaurant. You will enter EPCOT at the touchpoints with a sign for 'Guests with early dining reservations'.
Please come back and visit us again if you have any further questions. We will be happy to help you plan your magical vacation to Walt Disney World Resort.
