Welcome to planDisney Scott! Thanks for reaching out with your great question. I'm excited to help you! How wonderful that you're planning a trip to
Walt Disney World Resort! You’re sure to create some amazing memories at The Most Magical Place on Earth!
Disney resort transportation does not run directly from resort to resort. To travel from Kidani Village at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge to the BoardWalk area, you’ll need to use a transfer point like a theme park or Disney Springs. One suggestion would be to take a bus from Kidani Village to Animal Kingdom Theme Park as it is the closest park. From there, transfer to a bus heading to Disney’s BoardWalk Inn.
Since Disney buses don’t run directly from resort to resort, your best and most efficient option is to take a bus from Kidani Village directly to
EPCOT for Early Entry. This will drop you off at the main entrance of EPCOT, where you can easily enter and enjoy the early access to attractions.
While the idea of entering EPCOT through the International Gateway from the BoardWalk area is scenic, the logistics of transferring between resorts would add unnecessary time and complexity to your morning. By going straight to EPCOT, you’ll save yourself the hassle and ensure you have plenty of time to enjoy Early Entry without delays.
Scott, I hope you find this information helpful as you prepare for an exciting visit to Walt Disney World Resort! Thank you again for visiting planDisney. Have a magical day!
