Hi Jeni,
Welcome back to planDisney! I am excited to hear that you are planning to head over to Disney Springs for some shopping and brunch!
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' is a fabulous way to start your day. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is lovely. My friend Brent swears by the Everglazed Doughnuts you can grab here, and you can't go wrong with any of the entree options!
Bus transportation is available from Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside to Disney Springs
during operating hours. Since operating hours change each day, this will depend on the day that you are visiting. I recommend checking close to your visit date for the most up-to-date information. If you are worried about ensuring you have enough time to jump on the bus and head there, I would make your reservation for at least 30 minutes after Disney Springs opens. In my experience, bus transportation normally starts 45 minutes before Disney Springs opens, but that is not guaranteed.
To make the most of your Disney World adventure, I wholeheartedly recommend downloading the
My Disney Experience app; it’s like having a magical guide in the palm of your hand! This app is an incredible tool for navigating Disney’s transportation network with ease and efficiency. With the app, you can effortlessly check real-time bus pickup times, helping you plan your journey and minimize waiting. After all, no one likes the feeling of just missing the bus and watching it roll away into the distance! But don’t worry, Disney buses run continuously, so your next ride to the magic will be along before you know it. With a little preparation and the app at your fingertips, your transportation experience can be seamless.
Happy Planning,
Jenna
