Hi Lindsay!
Welcome to planDisney! I'm so excited to hear that you will be staying at
Walt Disney World's flagship resort,
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa! Having recently stayed there, you will love the amenities, the views from Seven Seas Lagoon, and the awesome water play area! Access to the monorail and water taxi makes transportation to and from
Magic Kingdom a breeze!
Walt Disney World is centrally located and can be considered driving distance from Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Sanford International Airport. Currently, there is no shuttle service provided from Sanford International Airport to the Walt Disney World Resort. One option is to use a ride share service from the airport to the Grand Floridian Resort. You can also look at renting a car for the trip, which may save you a considerable amount of transport time over your entire trip.
Disney Transportation Tip: If electing to take the buses from your resort to
Animal Kingdom theme park or
Hollywood Studios, you can check the estimated arrival time on the screens at the bus stop. This is a very convenient way of ensuring that you are at the bus stop on time!
Hope this helps you plan your magical vacation!
Malanie
