Hi, Donna!
Thanks for stopping by the Moms Panel!
It sounds like you've got a great evening planned for your arrival day! The
Complimentary Resort Transportation at Walt Disney World makes traveling from your Resort hotel to the Theme Parks and Downtown Disney a breeze. The buses do not go directly from one Resort hotel to another, however.
Since you'll be traveling from Disney's Art of Animation Resort to Kouzzina, you'll need to go to a Theme Park or Downtown Disney first and transfer to another bus going to Disney's Boardwalk Inn. You can also take a bus to Disney's Hollywood Studios and walk over to
Disney's BoardWalk. To get over to Magic Kingdom Park after dinner, you can simply take a bus from the Boardwalk Inn.
I always recommend allowing 90-minutes for travel time, especially when you have an Advanced Dining Reservation to get to. You may have to wait for a bus to arrive and you also want to allow time to walk from the bus stop to your destination.
I hope this helps, Donna! Please let us know if we can answer any other questions you have.
Wishing you and your family a Pixie Dusted vacation!
