Hi Catherine! You are going to LOVE your upcoming stay at Disney's Art of Animation Resort!
I have good news for you! The
Walt Disney World Bus Service begins at the resort hotels 45 minutes prior to the opening of Disney Springs. Since Disney Springs opens at 10 a.m. most days, the complimentary bus transportation will be able to get you to Disney Springs for your
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique reservation! I recommend getting to the bus stop at your resort hotel early, just to make sure you don't miss the first Disney Springs bus that comes by. You want to allow plenty of time for travel to get to this special reservation.
Hopefully, you have some time to enjoy
shopping and
dining in Disney Springs. I can easily spend an entire day there ... there is so much to do! If you need to grab lunch on-the-go, I suggest stopping by
Earl of Sandwich. It is close to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and their Italian sandwich is ah-maz-ing!
One last tip: if you do some shopping at Disney Springs (or any of the theme parks), you can have your
purchases sent to your resort hotel for pick-up later (usually the next day). There are some exceptions to what and when merchandise can be sent, so ask any of the friendly Cast Members if it is an option when checking out.
Enjoy your trip! Feel free to visit us again with any other questions you may have!
