Hello, hello there, Tim! You're as welcome as can be here at
planDisney. Thank you so much for bringing us your question!
I totally understand where you're coming from, my friend. My mom also suffers from a pretty intense fear of heights, so I know how hard it can be for her to get on the
Disney Skyliner. Unfortunately, the Skyliner is the only complimentary option for you to get to
EPCOT from
Disney's Art of Animation Resort without making some extra stops.
Tim, what you can do is board a bus to
Disney Springs from the Art of Animation Resort, hop on another bus from Disney Springs to one of the EPCOT area Resorts (Disney's BoardWalk Inn, Disney's Yacht Club Resort, or Disney's Beach Club Resorts) and then simply walk over to EPCOT. However, if you don't want to do all that, you definitely don't have to! You could always request a
Minnie Van through the Lyft app to take you straight to EPCOT, but this service is not complimentary.
At the end of the day, you could walk back to one of the EPCOT area Resorts, hop on a bus to Disney Springs, and then catch another bus back to your Resort! You just need to keep in mind that transportation between the
Disney Resorts Collection hotels and Disney Springs will close promptly one hour after Disney Springs closes for the day. Again, you can request a Minnie Van from EPCOT's Main Entrance if you don't want to follow all of those steps.
I hope this helps, Tim! Please don't hesitate to reach back out to us with any other questions you might have. We're always available and more than happy to help!
Warm hugs,
Ana Paula
