    I am planning to go from my hotel to the “Congress Park" bus stop, and then take the official Disney buses to each park from there. I would do the reverse for my return trip. I won't use Disney Resort hotel. Is this OK?

    Hiya pal, and welcome to planDisney!  I can't think of a better way to start 2027 than with a visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth!

    With four theme parks, two water parks, over two dozen resort hotels, and seemingly endless dining, recreational, and entertainment options, navigating Walt Disney World Resort can sometimes feel like you're navigating a small city.  Guests staying at a hotel in the Disney Resorts Collection have access to many great benefits during their stay, including complimentary resort transportation between their hotel and the theme parks.  This network, which includes the Walt Disney World Monorail, buses, boats, and the Disney Skyliner, makes getting to the magic as easy as saying "bibbidi bobbidi boo!"  

    If you're staying at a nearby hotel, I'd encourage you to contact them directly about transportation options to the theme parks.  My family has stayed at several Good Neighbor and Disney Springs Area hotels and found that most offered theme park shuttle service during our stay.  You could also consider rideshare options that would likely provide the fastest and most direct transportation from your hotel to your selected theme park each day. 

    As you continue planning your visit, I recommend checking the Disney Parks Blog for updates on any special events happening during your stay.  It looks like you'll be arriving just before the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts begins.  I hope your trip dates overlap with this wonderful event and you have a chance to see the beautiful artwork, taste the creative dishes, and enjoy the musical entertainment that makes this such a popular festival each year!    

    I hope this information has been helpful, and that you enjoy making many magical memories during your visit to Walt Disney World Resort!  If you have any other questions, please stop by to see us again here at planDisney - we're all ears!

    Cheers!
