Hi Carla,
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. With the huge transformation of
Disney Springs in the last year, there have been some changes to the bus transportation locations. For guests staying at any
Walt Disney World resort, the new bus station is in the Town Center portion of Disney Springs, which, true to the name, is in the middle of the whole shopping, dining and entertainment district.
Guests at select Walt Disney World resorts --
Old Key West,
Port Orleans Riverside,
Port Orleans French Quarter and
Saratoga Springs -- also use complimentary water taxi transportation to Disney Springs.
Buses that serve off-property Good Neighbor hotels, the accommodations along Hotel Plaza Boulevard and the Shades of Green hotel now arrive and depart from the Marketplace area bus station at the east end of Disney Springs.
The non-Walt Disney World hotels that are closest to that bus station are the Hilton Lake Buena Vista and the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista. I've stayed at the Hilton, and there's an elevated walkway over the busy roadway to connect guests to Disney Springs safely.
Another exciting change: After 4 p.m., the free Disney buses now connect the four theme parks directly to Disney Spring!
I hope that answers your question, Carla. Please let us know if we can help in any other way as you make your plans. Enjoy!
Wilma
