    Will the new Disney Springs transportation policy affect guests staying at Disney Springs area hotels who want to travel between parks, Disney Springs, and Disney Resort hotels for dining, sightseeing, or transportation purposes?

    Welcome to planDisney, Diana. I'm so happy to help you plan for your next trip to the Walt Disney World Resort!

    Starting June 28, 2026, Guests using Disney bus or water transportation from Disney Springs to one of the Disney Resorts Collection Hotels will need to provide proof of their hotel reservation, advanced dining reservation, or recreation reservation for the hotel they are visiting. When traveling to a park from your Disney Springs area hotel, you'll want to check whether your hotel offers a shuttle. If you have a theme park ticket with the Park Hopper Option and would like to hop from one park to another, you are currently able to do so by boarding Disney transportation. Please note that policies are subject to change.

    Now, I see that you're traveling during September, and I'm sure you'll be happy to know that the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will be taking place from August 27 to November 21, 2026. In fact, they just announced who will be performing at this year's Eat to the Beat Concert Series, which is included in your theme park admission. If you want a guaranteed seat at one of these concerts, you can look into an Eat to the Beat Concert Dining Package. A meal and a concert? Yes, please. Especially in EPCOT, which celebrates so many different cultures and cuisines.

    Diana, best wishes for your upcoming trip. If you have any other questions, I'm happy to help!

    Here's to a great, big beautiful tomorrow,
    Matt
