Hi Kristin,
Thanks for visiting Disney Parks Moms Panel.
When it comes to making dinner reservations at Walt Disney World, I always find my biggest challenge is simply deciding where to dine. There are
so many great dining experiences to choose from, and many are located in Walt Disney World Resort Hotels.
Walt Disney World Bus Service will provide transportation from your resort hotel to the theme parks, water parks, and Disney Springs. My best suggestion is to check with a Cast Member at Disney's Art of Animation Resort simply because you'll want the most current information during your stay and bus routes and schedules can be adjusted.
Typically, though, to get to a resort hotel restaurant, you'll want to travel on the bus to the nearest theme park and then make your way to the restaurant. For example, if you're dining at 'Ohana, you could take the bus to Magic Kingdom and then either take the
Monorail or
water taxi over to Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. Another option would be to take a bus to Disney Springs and from there take a bus to the resort where you're dining. Again, a Cast Member can give you the best route when you let them know where you're heading.
The
Minnie Van Service is another great and really convenient option for traveling to resort restaurants.
Enjoy your Disney!
Jerry
