The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round, Carol, and I'm so glad you brought your theme park shuttle question to us here at planDisney! The anticipation and excitement must be building for your upcoming visit, and I hope you've found fun or creative ways to count down to your trip. I see you'll be staying at a
Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotel, and I'd be happy to help you get the schedule for the Magic Kingdom shuttle.
I started on the hotel's
information page, then clicked on "Check Availability." From there, I found the shuttle schedule by clicking on the "Experiences" tab at the top of the page. On the next screen, I scrolled just below the photos of the amenities and clicked "See More." On the next page below "Hotel Information" there is a link that says "Shuttle Information." It looks like the shuttle departs at 8:35AM, 10:10AM, and 12:05PM, and return shuttles from
Magic Kingdom depart for the hotel at 9PM and 10PM from Gate 35 at the Transportation and Ticket Center.
I will say that when I clicked on some of the special offers or amenity information from the main page, different schedules with different vendors showed up. One of the other schedules I found said there is only one departing shuttle that leaves at 8:40AM, and returning shuttles leave Magic Kingdom at 7:45PM and 10PM from Gate 16 at the TTC. Also, the vendor for this shuttle was different from the other one I mentioned previously.
I think it's probably best to call the hotel and ask which schedule is correct and what vendor provides the service. Each of the schedules I found indicated that reservations were required, and there were other limitations like travel party size and how far in advance you need to secure a reservation.
I wish I could provide a more clear answer for you, Carol! I know you'll make it to
Cinderella Castle during your visit, it's just a matter of time. Speaking of time, be sure to schedule some more with me here at planDisney if you have additional questions or are looking for vacation planning tips! I'd be more than happy to assist.
Stay magical,
Scott
