Hiya Rachel!
Welcome back to planDisney! It's been a few years since we heard from you and we are glad to see you again! I see that your last question was all about transportation times and you are clearly a person after my own heart as I love talking about transport. Getting efficiently to my destination is a passion in my family and I recently had a chance to share all about it on a
whole podcast episode with planDisney! I hope you can check it out as it may be helpful.
Now, the
bus ride from Disney's Contemporary Resort to Disney Springs is about 21 minutes long but that does not include the wait time for the bus (which can be up to 30 minutes,) loading time, and disembarking time. I always tell guests to give themselves an hour when traveling from your Resort to anywhere in the Parks. When I used the handy dandy
My Disney Experience Mobile App to map my way to
Disney Springs from
Disney's Contemporary Resort for your question it stated that the total time could be 44 minutes with all the walking, waiting, and actual bus travel. Giving yourself my recommended one hour will guarantee a safe cushion of travel time.
Sometimes when traveling back from Disney Springs I like to hail an Uber or Lyft just to save time and relax with all my shopping bags. The travel time is much shorter using this method and great when I am in a rush. Of course, if you have little ones consider hailing via the Lyft app a
Minnie Van which can include up to two car seats for children.
I hope this helps and that you have a fabulous time on your upcoming trip!
Happy Planning!
