Welcome to planDisney, Rachel! It looks like your magical vacation is getting closer and closer every day, and you're almost there! Let's dig a little deeper into your transportation question to make sure you can navigate the magic quickly and easily during your visit!
Rachel, while there is complimentary
Disney bus service between Disney Resort hotels and Disney Springs, there is no direct bus service between Magic Kingdom Park and
Disney Springs. If you plan to return to Magic Kingdom after your dinner and prefer to leave your car parked at the Transportation and Ticket Center to avoid parking again, you can certainly do so; you will just need to plan your transportation to Disney Springs using one of these options:
- Take a short walk or catch the Resort Monorail over to Disney's Contemporary Resort and then catch a bus directly to Disney Springs.
- Use the Lyft app to order a Minnie Van, which can pick you up directly at the bus stop area outside of Magic Kingdom and drop you off directly at Disney Springs.
- Use another rideshare service, which will require you to first transfer over to the Transportation and Ticket Center to be picked up (this is also where your car will be parked, so I wouldn't recommend this if you're trying to save time).
When you're ready to return to Magic Kingdom, you can reverse the options suggested above to get back to Magic Kingdom to enjoy the rest of your evening! If you make it back in time, don't miss
Happily Ever After; it's my favorite way to end a magical Disney day!
I hope this helps, Rachel! I'm sending you all the pixie dust for an amazing vacation and smooth transportation to get you everywhere you're going! If you have any other questions, come see us again real soon at

Magic Awaits,
Alison
