Hi Angela! Thanks for stopping by planDisney. It's always great to help a fellow Palmetto State resident plan for their Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
The
Disney Springs Resort area is a wonderful location to stay during your next trip. You're just steps away from Disney Springs and all that it has to offer. There are countless restaurants, shops, and activities to enjoy.
When heading to the Magic Kingdom, the shuttle buses from these hotels will drop you off at the Ticket and Transportation Center. You'll then need to hop on the monorail or ferry boat to get to the entrance of the Magic Kingdom. For all other parks, you will be dropped off within walking distance of the entrance of the park.
Unfortunately,
Minnie Van service is not available from the Disney Springs Resort area hotels. You can use the Lyft app for transportation to the Magic Kingdom. However, these vehicles will also drop you off at the Ticket and Transportation Center.
If you prefer to take a Minnie Van, you can walk over to
Disney Springs and take one from there. Minnie Vans will drop you off at the entrance to the Magic Kingdom. However, since Disney Springs opens up later than the Magic Kingdom on most days, you will not be able to use this service to get to the park early in the day. This may be a more suitable option if you plan to head to the parks in the afternoon.
Angela, I hope you have a magical time during your upcoming stay!
Stop back and see us again at planDisney!
See ya real soon!
