    Considering staying at one of the Hilton hotels by the downtown Disney area as I can use points to save money. Can we still use the Disney buses?

    Hi there, Krystan! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so glad that you've stopped by with such a great question.

    I love to hear that the magic is calling you to Walt Disney World Resort, and the only thing better than a visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth is visiting the magic and saving money! Since you are considering using Points and saving money on booking a stay at one of the Walt Disney World Official Hotels at Disney Springs, it sounds as if your planning is off to a fantastic start! Now, let's tie up your loose planning ends so you can book your stay, sit back, relax and start your pixie-dusted countdown.

    While the Hilton-owned hotels in Disney Springs don't use the Walt Disney World Bus Service, they do typically offer their Guests a shuttle bus to and from the parks. However, I think you will find your location right in the middle of the magic to be quite convenient! During Disney Springs operating hours, you will be able to use the Disney Bus Transportation from Disney Springs to the Disney Resorts Collection Hotels to shop or dine around the Resorts or transfer to additional Disney transportation to get to the parks. Happy booking and safe travels!

    Krystan, did you know that Guests of the official Disney Hotels at Disney Springs, including many of the Hilton-owned hotels, can take advantage of Early Theme Park Entry for Disney Resort Hotel Guests?! If you stay at one of the participating hotels (be sure to check the list), you can enter the theme parks 30 minutes early to enjoy even more magic. More magic is always better.

    I hope this was helpful, Krystan! Happy planning, my friend! Please stop by any time with any questions you may have along the way. You've got a friend in me!

    Chase the wind and touch the sky,
