Hello and welcome to planDisney, Dana!
Thank you for taking the time to send us a question. It is a pleasure to help you plan a magical Walt Disney World Resort adventure!
I am happy to hear you will be our Guest at
Disney’s Contemporary Resort. By staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, you can take advantage of pixie-dusted benefits, including
Early Theme Park Entry and
complimentary transportation. Although you can take a short walk to Magic Kingdom Park and use monorail transportation to go to EPCOT, you will be able to use
Disney bus transportation to travel to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.
The last time I stayed at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, the buses traveled directly to and from the theme parks without stopping. It takes approximately 20 minutes to get from the hotel to each of the parks by bus, but I recommend planning more time to travel between destinations when using Disney transportation. Besides travel time, you still need to plan wait times. To find out when the next bus is expected to leave Disney’s Contemporary Resort, open the
My Disney Experience app on your mobile device, tap the three horizontal lines at the bottom of the screen, select
Resort Hotel, tap your resort reservation, and then tap
See Bus Times. Buses usually run every 20 minutes from the theme parks back to the hotels.
I hope this information is helpful, Dana. Come back to visit us if you have additional questions, and have a magical visit to the Walt Disney World Resort!
Best Disney wishes,
Thiana
