Hi Lauren!
Welcome to planDisney!
Disney World transportation is not provided from off-property hotels to the theme parks, but those hotels often provide their own shuttles. I recommend reaching out to the specific hotels to see what their options include.
With that being said, once you’re on Disney World property, you’ll be more than welcome to use Disney World transportation to get between theme parks or to resorts. For example, you can hop on the Monorail from Magic Kingdom to make your way to a nearby resort or Epcot with no problems.
The only exception to this will be from
Disney Springs to the resorts. At this time, off-property guests can only take Disney World transportation from Disney Springs to the resorts if they have a dining or
Enchanting Extras reservation at that resort.
When you’re weighing your options based on transportation, one thing to consider is where the off-property shuttles will drop you off. When you’re going to Magic Kingdom specifically (and sometimes Epcot, too!), off-property shuttles will drop you off at the Transportation and Ticket Center. From there, you will need to take the
Monorail or Ferry to get to the entrance to the park. Make sure to give yourself extra travel time if that’s the case!
In addition to the transportation,
other perks I personally love when it comes to staying at the Disney World resorts include extra time in the theme parks (
Early Entry every day for all resort guests and
Extended Evening Hours on select nights for deluxe resort guests), as well as the ability to book
Lightning Lanes further in advance and book
Advanced Dining Reservations for your entire trip all at once.
I hope that helps as you narrow down your options! If you have any other questions as you continue to plan your trip, feel free to come back and visit us!
