    We have a free shuttle transfer from our hotel to Magic Kingdom but we will be visiting only Animal Kingdom and Disney Hollywood studios. What time is the first Minnie van or bus from Magic Kingdom to Animal Kingdom?

    Hi there, Ruben!

    A warm welcome to planDisney and thanks so much for bringing us a spectacular Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question. I understand you're gearing up for an enchanting escape to The Most Magical Place on Earth - how very exciting! As you prepare to enter a world filled with wonder, let's chat about how to "hop" between the theme parks for a perfect Disney day.

    Ruben, it sounds like the resort you'll be staying at offers complimentary transportation to Magic Kingdom Park, but you'll be planning to visit two other theme parks. Disney Minnie Van service is an excellent option for Guests wishing to quickly zip between two locations within the Walt Disney World Resort. You'll be pleased to know that this service is offered from before the theme parks open in the morning until after the theme parks and Disney Springs close for the evening. You'll want to check the Lyft mobile app for specific hours and availability.

    Complimentary bus service is offered for Guests wishing to hop between the theme parks after 1:30 p.m. at the time of writing, Ruben. Therefore, if you're hoping to reach Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park or Disney's Hollywood Studios earlier in the day, you have a couple of options:
    1. Hop aboard a bus headed to a Disney Resort hotel, then utilize transportation from that resort to reach the theme park.
    2. Utilize a rideshare service to organize a pick-up at Magic Kingdom Park and a drop-off at the next theme park you'd like to visit.
    Ruben, you can always use the My Disney Experience mobile app to check the best transportation options available to you. Simply open the app, tap the magnifying glass to "Search" for the location you're hoping to reach, then select "Get Directions."

    I hope you've found this information helpful as you prepare for a thrill-filled day at The Most Magical Place on Earth, Ruben! If you have any additional questions throughout your visit, you can always return to planDisney anytime. We're all ears!

    See ya real soon,

    Lauren
