Hi Sandra,
You must be so excited about your upcoming Walt Disney World vacation! You have certainly chosen two fantastic places to stay...in fact, Disney's Contemporary Resort and Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge are two of my favorite Resort hotels at Walt Disney World. The cool, modern vibe inside
Disney's Contemporary Resort, with its sleek and elegant decor and monorails gliding right through the center of the building definitely can't be beat! And the incredible theming of
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge will leave you feeling like you have been traveled to Africa for an exotic safari adventure. I know you will enjoy each of these wonderful Resorts.
Sandra, I have personally utilized Walt Disney World Resort buses numerous times from each of your Resort hotels. You will not have any difficulty locating or using Disney buses from either of these Resorts. At Disney's Contemporary Resort, the bus depot is located a short distance to the right of the main doors when exiting the main lobby. There you will find a covered open-air area with benches as well as convenient video monitors which will provide approximate arrival times for buses to all destinations. Don't forget as well that monorail transportation can also be used to travel to Magic Kingdom and Epcot.
To reach the bus stop at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, simply exit the main lobby at Jambo House and take a short walkway to the left. Once again, you will find a covered waiting area with benches and video monitors and hopefully you will be on your way to your destination in no time at all. Generally buses for each destination leave approximately every twenty minutes so it is never a long wait.
Sandra, I hope you have a fantastic upcoming Disney vacation, and Happy Travels!
Trish
