Hello Korie! Welcome to planDisney!
You and your family are just a couple of weeks away from such a magical vacation at
Walt Disney World Resort! Your excitement about your trip is palpable and it's making me excited for you! This is a great time to put the finishing touches on your daily itineraries, whether that means deciding where to have breakfast to maximize your time within the Parks, choosing which characters are at "must-meet" status now that
they'll soon be back to giving hugs and autographs, or figuring out the quickest and easiest ways to get back and forth from Theme Park to
Disney Resorts Collection hotel!
Did you know that now that
Disney's All-Star Sports Resort has reopened every single Disney Resorts Collection hotel is back up and running at the Walt Disney World Resort? It may have taken some time, but Cast Members are excited to welcome Guests back to this iconic Resort! I really think you're going to love the larger-than-life sports-themed statues, the relaxing and refreshing
Surfboard Bay Pool and the delicious bites at the End Zone Food Court.
When it comes to transportation options to and from the Parks, everyone has a preference, but mine is definitely to use the
complimentary transportation provided by Disney. From your Resort, this will be complimentary bus transportation that runs approximately every 20 minutes. Busses start running about 45 minutes before the Theme Park's opening time until about an hour after they close. All-Star Sports is a compact enough Resort that there is only one bus stop, so you'll be able to walk through Stadium Hall, where you'll find the Resort lobby, End Zone Food Court and the
Sport Goofy Gifts and Sundries, in case you want to grab a last-minute drink or snack before you head out for the day! I love taking Disney transportation because it leaves you off as close as possible to the entrance of each Theme Park!
My family and I always budget about an hour of time to get from one destination to another when we're traveling around the Resort. If you would like, you can use your
My Disney Experience mobile app to get turn-by-turn directions all around the Resort. Simply open your app and click the second icon at the bottom of the screen. Here you'll be taken to an interactive map of the Resort. Just click on the location you would like to head to and click "Get Directions." When I enter one of your examples, such as traveling from Disney's All-Star Sports to
Magic Kingdom Park, it shows me that the quickest route will take approximately 40 minutes.
If you choose to drive your car to the Parks, that's great too! It gives you more flexibility on when you leave your Resort, and since you're a Guest of a Disney Resorts Collection hotel
Standard Theme park parking is included during your stay.
No matter how you get there, you know every day is going to be best.one.ever.
Enjoy!
