Welcome to planDisney, Mary!
I am really excited
for you! Your Walt Disney World Resort vacation is just a few days away, and I'm sure you will love your stay at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort. This resort has easy access to the
Disney Skyliner transportation system, which makes it so quick and convenient to get to
Disney's Hollywood Studios and
EPCOT. Be sure to take a stroll around the grounds during your visit to check out each area of the resort -- I was so impressed with how even the landscaping changed to coordinate with each theme.
Whenever a transfer is involved when traveling between destinations, I always allow around 90 minutes just to be safe. You could hop on a bus from Disney's Hollywood Studios to any
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, and then take a bus from there to
Disney Springs. But since the Disney Skyliner is such an efficient way to travel, I would recommend using the Skyliner to return to Disney's Art of Animation Resort and then take a bus from there to Disney Springs. That would also give you the opportunity to stop by your room to drop off anything and perhaps rest a bit or freshen up before heading out again. Did you know you can
check bus wait times during your stay right in the
My Disney Experience app? This is a great feature that can help you decide if you should head out to the bus stop or spend more time relaxing in your room. To view when the next bus to your destination is due to arrive at your resort hotel, use the menu button in the lower right corner of the app to select "Resort Hotel" and then look for the "See Bus Times" icon. Note: this feature is only active during your resort hotel stay.
I hope that helps! Please feel free to stop by planDisney again with any additional questions you may have. Enjoy your stay during
The World's Most Magical Celebration!
