Hello Aiden!
I am so happy your Fairy Godmother has guided you to planDisney. We are thrilled to help you plan a magical Disney vacation!
Walt Disney World Good Neighborhood Hotels are a great option for Guests looking for value, comfort and convenience. They are AAA-approved, meet Disney standards for quality and service, are close to the parks, and many locations even include breakfast. Because of these great features, I also decided to book a stay at a Disney Good Neighborhood Hotel for a 2021 visit.
All hotels provide transportation to and from the theme parks, and you should receive departure and return schedules upon arriving for your stay. Shuttle transportation schedules vary from hotel to hotel, and sometimes they pick up visitors at other locations. Since the hotels are close to the theme parks, I plan to use a ride share service like Uber or Lyft to get to the parks as early as possible, especially in the morning. I have actually done this many times, even while staying at a Disney Resort hotel, as this is probably the fastest way to get to most destinations.
Aiden, did you know that you are also welcome to pick up admission tickets at
Disney Springs? Depending on your travel plans, I actually recommend stopping by the
Disney Ticket Center at Disney Springs the day before heading for the parks. You will not have to worry about possible lines at will call in the morning, and you will get to enjoy the shopping and dining options at Disney Springs – this is the perfect way to kick off your vacation at The Most Magical Place on Earth. Don't forget to bring the e-mail with your ticket confirmation, a government-issued photo ID, and the credit card used for the purchase.
Thank you so much for sending your first question our way. I hope this helps you while planning and that you come back to visit us real soon for more tips and advice.
Best Disney wishes,
Thiana
