Welcome back to planDisney, Francine!
There are a few ways that you can get from
Disney's Contemporary Resort to
Disney's Art of Animation Resort. There isn’t a direct bus between resorts, so the easiest way is to take a bus from Art of Animation to
Magic Kingdom. Once you arrive at Magic Kingdom, it’s just a short walk, about 5 to 10 minutes, to the Contemporary. You’ll see signs pointing the way, and it’s a nice, easy stroll.
Another option is to take the
monorail from Magic Kingdom, which will make a stop right inside the Contemporary. If you’d like a more scenic route, you can even take the boat from Magic Kingdom over to the Contemporary. Both options are fun, especially if it’s your first time.
I’d plan for at least 45 minutes to an hour of travel time, just to make sure you’re not rushing. Disney transportation is free, and honestly, the journey itself can feel like part of the adventure.
You can also use a rideshare, like Uber or Lyft, if you find that you are in a rush. Your driver will pick you up from the front entrance of Art of Animation and drop you at the front entrance of the Contemporary. You can also reserve a
Minnie Van through Lyft, if you'd like to ride in style from resort to resort.
Francine, have a magical time on your upcoming vacation. And as you know, we're here to help with every Disney detail of your trip. See you real soon!
