    Hello, we are staying ant Wyndham Bonnet Creek. What is the best most efficient way to get to each Disney Park with a 5 year old and a 2.5 year old. Thanks

    Hey there! Hi there, Sam! It won't be long before you are walking down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A. It's the heartbeat of a holiday! 

    I was talking with my dad earlier this week about memories of going on rides with him at Walt Disney World when I was five years old. I hold them close to my heart. When he said, "I remember riding Space Mountain with you," I got all teary. I can't wait for all the magical moments that are just around the riverbend for you—and all the core memories that you will share for a lifetime.

    From Wyndham Grand Bonnet Creek, you have a few options for transportation to Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom Theme Park

    The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle. If you are looking to save your vacation dollars for Mickey-shaped snacks, this is your best option. The shuttle will take you to each of the theme parks. If this is the route you choose, I recommend checking with the front desk at your hotel to get a sense of the schedule so you can plan around it. 

    If you have a car, this is my preferred mode of transportation when staying outside Walt Disney World Resort. I enjoy being able to visit the theme parks and return "home" on my own schedule. If you have a stroller, it's a lot easier to leave it in the car each night, knowing it's packed and ready to go in the morning. 

    The third option is using a rideshare service, like Lyft. These services may cost more than theme park parking, but they will likely drop you off closer to the front of the parking lots.

    The one park where ridesharing and the hotel shuttle are the most convenient option is the Magic Kingdom. These will drop you off at the Transportation & Ticket Center (TTC), where you can board the Monorail or ferry to the land of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy. When you drive, unless you are among the first to arrive and get a close parking space, you will board a tram to save a long walk to the TTC.  I still prefer driving, but it is something to consider when balancing your options.

    Sam, I hope you have an amazing trip at the Most Magical Place on Earth. You are there with the debut of Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away! The previews of this new nighttime parade have me dreaming of my next trip. It's soon, but not soon enough!

    If you have any other questions, please come see us again at planDisney. You have a friend in us!

    Magic Awaits!
