    What is the easiest way to get from Animal Kingdom Lodge-Jambo House to Pop Century resort?

    Jambo, Caitlin!

    It sounds like you might already be on-site, and if so, I'm happy to help you map out a trek from one resort to another. 

    As you've probably noticed, complimentary bus transportation is not available between Disney Resort Hotels. However, you can still utilize the bus service with a quick theme park transfer to get you where you need to go. The quickest option would be to board a bus to Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park from Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Jambo House. The theme park is just a short drive from the hotel property, and you can check bus departure and arrival windows in real time using your My Disney Experience app.

    Once you've arrived at Animal Kingdom, head toward the entrance to confirm the lane number for Disney's Pop Century Resort. Buses typically depart every 20 minutes or so, so you'll be on your way to a groovy visit in no time.

    If you happen to notice that the bus for Disney's Hollywood Studios pulls up at Jambo House before the Animal Kingdom bus, you can take that route as well. Once you arrive at Hollywood Studios, you'll board the Disney Skyliner to Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, then transfer to Pop Century. My family loves the Skyliner, so we always try to squeeze in a ride, even if we're not staying at a resort on the system. Note that the Skyliner was closed for refurbishment from January 25 to January 31, but things should be up and running again today. You can confirm with a Cast Member before starting your journey, just to be sure.

    If you're pressed for time, you can also travel between the resorts using a third-party ride-share service. Note that you might be stopped at the security gate and asked for additional information upon arrival. You can also add a bit of extra pixie dust to your travels by booking Minnie Van Service. These can be booked using the Lyft App, can accommodate up to 6 guests, and include car seats if you're traveling with little Mouseketeers. The van's adorable polka dot motif also adds an extra layer of fun to the ride!

    I hope this helped, Caitlin. If we can answer any additional questions, please hitch a ride back over to planDisney and let us know. Wishing you a fabulous visit.

    Magic and memories,
    Amy
