    Hi, we are staying outside resort and wanting to go to the magical kingdom. I love all the different ideas which one should we utilize to get to magical kingdom and blizzard beach and still make it a fun transportation trip? Thank you so much.

    Hey there, hi there, ho there, Kelli! You’re as welcome as can be here at planDisney, and I’m so glad you stopped by with your question!

    Walt Disney World’s transportation system is one of the most magical parts of the vacation experience, especially if you’re someone who wants to make even the journey part of the fun. With options like monorails, ferries, buses, and even the Disney Skyliner, getting around can feel like an attraction in itself!

    Since you’re staying off-property and heading to Magic Kingdom, the best way to get there is by driving to the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC). From there, you’ll have two fun ways to reach the park: the monorail or the ferryboat. The monorail is faster, but if you have a few extra minutes, I recommend the ferry, as it’s a relaxing ride across the Seven Seas Lagoon and offers a nice view as you approach Cinderella Castle. It’s one of those classic Disney moments that sets the tone for a magical day.

    As for Blizzard Beach, it’s a little trickier to reach via Disney transportation since it doesn’t have direct service from most locations. You’d typically need to take a bus to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, then transfer to a Blizzard Beach bus. That’s doable, but if you’re looking for ease (and a bit more time splashing and sliding), using a rideshare service or driving yourself might be the better option. And the good news is parking at Blizzard Beach is free for all guests!

    And since you mentioned fun transportation experiences, you’ll definitely want to try the Chairlift at Blizzard Beach! It’s a gentle, scenic ride that takes you up to the top of Mount Gushmore, and it’s the perfect way to reach thrill rides like Summit Plummet or just enjoy the view. 

    I hope your vacation is filled with magical memories, even while you’re on the move, Kelli! If you have any more questions, I’m always happy to help.

    See ya real soon!
