    I’ll be there the week of Christmas & I love to resort hop for decor and food. I normally park at Disney Springs and start hopping around from there. How can I still see all the decorations if I can’t park at resorts or use a Disney transportation?

    Seasons greetings, Sabrina and welcome ho-ho-home to planDisney where we love decked halls, and being jolly is always in season. Thanks for asking your question about holiday Disney Resort hotel hopping. I'm happy to help unwrap the ins and outs of it for you.

    As of recently, complimentary Disney Resort transportation from Disney Springs is restricted to Guests with a current hotel, dining or experience reservation, and you can expect to show the reservation in order to use the transportation. I know this new process is disappointing to Guests without a reservation who are used to taking Disney Resort transportation from Disney Springs for the popular activity of resort hopping or even transferring from a resort to a Disney theme park. That being said, no changes have been announced to transportation offered from the theme parks to the resorts. So, as of right now, you can still visit other resorts by parking at one of the theme parks and using Disney transportation. Ride share to the theme parks is also an option if you don't want to park. Keep in mind, this is subject to change, so keep an eye out when it gets closer to your trip to make sure you have the latest information. 

    As the holiday season nears, we'll learn more about the decorations being installed at the resorts, what gingerbread displays we can expect to see and my very favorite thing, the treats. The Foodie Guide section of the Disney Parks Blog will have all the details as they unfold. You'll have plenty of time to make your list and check it twice of everything you want to see and eat. 

    Sabrina, I hope this has been helpful to you. Please dash on back if you have any other questions we can help you with. 

    Grab hold of your dreams!
