Hi Dawn,
Ooh...I see that you'll be at the most magical place on earth in just a few weeks! SO exciting!
Yes, I'm happy to let you know that even if you're not staying at a Disney Resort hotel, you'll be able to take a bus directly from
Epcot to
Disney Springs any time after 4:00 p.m. You won't need to transfer to the Transportation and Ticket Center to catch the bus, in fact, you won't find buses there to other locations. Instead, when you leave Epcot, you'll head to the left to find the buses and there will be a large sign with the location of each bus stop. You may check there to see where the bus to Disney Springs is located.
Buses will run from 4:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. or two hours after the theme park closes, whichever is earlier. If you need to head there earlier than 4:00 p.m., you may either take a bus to a Disney Resort hotel and then transfer buses to travel the rest of the way to Disney Springs, take a taxi, or use the Lyft app to ride in style in an
adorable Minnie Van. Do note, though, that there is not transportation available to travel directly back to Epcot from Disney Springs.
Thanks so much for visiting us at the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Dawn, and please let us know if you have any other questions as you're preparing for your trip! I hope that you have a truly magical vacation!
Missy
