How ya doin' Jennifer and welcome to planDisney!
Well, y'all are definitely taking the phrase "there's no place like home for the holidays" seriously this year as you hop from one bayou to the next this holiday season. You should feel all the comforts of home at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside this December. But while it's surely not as complicated as traveling through South Baton Rouge during an LSU game, being free and hopping from place to place on your vacation can take some extra thought. I'm happy to help!
While water taxis will ferry you to
Disney Springs, the mode of
Disney Transportation that will be the key to the theme parks will be the buses. They tend to start running about 45 minutes prior to the park's earliest opening time to get Guests to their magical destinations. It wouldn't be a problem for them to get you to the front of
EPCOT in plenty of time to start your day. However, these buses will run from your
Disney Resorts Collection hotel to the parks and not between hotels.
Pro-tip: If entering the International Gateway at EPCOT is important to you, I would try catching a rideshare service to the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel and then walking along the path behind it or catching a water taxi. It's a very short walk or voyage from the back of the hotel to the park.
Jennifer, I hope I've been able to help you today. If you need any more insight into how to make your visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth the best one ever, please feel free to
come back for another chat!Happy planning!
