Hi there, Brent!
Welcome to planDisney. We're delighted you've dropped by with a fabulous
Walt Disney World Resort vacation planning question! It sounds like you'll be enjoying a luxurious stay at the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve very soon. I'd be happy to help you prepare for a seamlessly sensational stay!
Brent, I spoke with a friendly Front Desk employee at the
Walt Disney World Swan Reserve who provided me with the most up-to-date details on the complimentary transportation available to hotel guests. At the time of writing, the Walt Disney World Swan, Dolphin, and Swan Reserve offer three separate bus routes: one between the hotel and Magic Kingdom Park, one between the hotel and Disney Springs, and one between the hotel and Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park. Unlike the buses servicing the official Disney Resort hotels, the "Swolphin" shuttle that takes guests to Magic Kingdom Park drops off and picks up at the
Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC), not the theme park main entrance. Once you arrive at this location, you'll pass through security, then board a ferry boat or the Express Monorail to reach Magic Kingdom Park!
If you're hoping to reach
Disney Springs via the complimentary shuttle, it's important to note that the "Swolphin" buses do not share the same bus stop as the official Disney Resort hotels. Rather, your bus stop will be located at the West Side of Disney Springs, near Cirque du Soleil. Be sure to account for this if you'll be hurrying to a dining reservation or specific entertainment offering!
Brent, I hope this information helps you to prepare for a fun-filled fall getaway. If you have any additional questions before your visit, you can always return to us here at
planDisney! We're here to help you make the most of your time at The Most Magical Place on Earth.
Warm wishes,
Lauren
