Welcome back to planDisney Amy! Thanks for reaching out with your great question. I'm excited to help you! How wonderful that you're planning a trip to
Walt Disney World Resort! You’re sure to create some amazing memories at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Yes, you can still use
Disney Bus Transportation to return to your hotel after visiting Disney Springs, even if you don’t have tickets to an separate ticketed event at the park. At the end of your day at the park, you can take a bus directly to
Disney Springs (available until Disney Springs closes, typically around 11:00 PM). Disney buses run from Disney Springs to all Disney Resort hotels until approximately 1:00 AM. This gives you plenty of time to enjoy Disney Springs and return to your resort.
Alternatively, if you want a faster option, consider using a rideshare service from Disney Springs back to your resort. My favorite is
Minnie Van Service Connected by Lyft.
I hope this information helps you prepare for an exciting visit to Walt Disney World Resort, Amy. Thank you again for visiting us at planDisney! Have a magical day!
