    I am planning a family trip with my daughter’s family. We are celebrating birthdays for a 7 yo boy and his 1 yo sister. Our men are celebrating their first ever Disney trip. How is the transportation from the good neighbor The Grove?

    Hi, Brenda!

    You certainly have a lot to celebrate with birthdays and first visits! Stop by a guest services location for a CELEBRATION button so everyone knows what a special vacation this is for you and your family. 

    While I have not stayed at The Grove Resort & Water Park Orlando, a Walt Disney World Good Neighbor Hotel, I did a bit of research to see what they offered for transportation. It looks like they do offer limited transportation to the Walt Disney World resort. If you plan to use their service, you need to reserve your shuttle times up to 48 hours ahead of time and schedules are updated monthly. It appears they have one drop-off and one pick-up time per day for select locations. I would call The Grove one week prior to your arrival to find out the exact times and locations scheduled during your stay to see if that works for your family's plans.

    If you are looking for transportation that is more flexible, I would suggest either driving or using a rideshare service. As this resort is only about 6 miles from Walt Disney World, using a rideshare such as Uber or Lyft should not be too difficult and might be a better option with kids as they might need mid-day breaks or more flexible times if you plan on sleeping in or have early bedtimes. 

    Once at Walt Disney World, you will have so many magical transportation options to hop among the theme parks or to zip over to Disney Springs. You will find buses, the Disney Monorail, the Disney Skyliner, and even ferry boats! Helpful Cast Members are always around if you need help getting from one location to another. 

    Enjoy your visit to Walt Disney World as you make unforgettable family memories!
