Hi Patti!
Thanks for bringing your question about transportation to us here at planDisney! Early morning dining reservations are a must for my family! We love being able to head to the parks right before rope drop and get those special, non crowded photo ops either in front of Cinderella Castle, Spaceship Earth or The Tree of Life! Then we head over to enjoy breakfast options within the parks while watching guests take in the sun drenched sights and sounds of the parks!
One of the most convenient transportation options on property is the
Disney Bus service. Every resort offers Disney bus transport to the theme parks and to Disney Springs. Typically bus service begins 45 minutres prior to park and Disney Springs opening, and ends one hour post park closing. Buses have been known to run earlier than this time frame, so keep that in mind when planning your morning dining reservations. The Transportation and Ticket Center serves as the parking lot for Disney's Magic Kingdom park. Typically, guests would be able to take the monorail or ferry to Magic Kingdom, or the monorail to Epcot from the TTC. Currently, due to the
physical distancing measures and safety precaustions, the Epcot monorail is not available. The TTC does not offer bus transportation to any of the other theme parks. Your best bet is once you've finished enjoying your breakfast meal at your resort of choice, hop on a Disney bus to your destination. If you drive, it is recommended that you park at the theme park you've selected for the day.
Patti, have you made sure to make your
Disney Parks Pass reservation? Guests planning on visiting any of the four Walt Disney World Resort theme parks must have a Disney Parks Pass for the theme park of their choice. You can check availability and book your days on the
My Disney Experience tab of the Walt Disney World website. Be sure that everyone in your party has a valid theme park ticket for entry.
Hope this helps you plan your magical vacation!
