    We are staying at Pop Century in September and have a bus tour that departs from Disney Swan at 7am and returns at 7pm. I don't believe buses start running that early. What's our most efficient way to get there and back? Thank you!

    Hi Natalie! Welcome to planDisney! You’re staying at one of my favorite spots at the Walt Disney World Resort, and I can’t wait for you to experience just how nostalgic and conveniently located it is.

    I think one of the best aspects of this resort is that it is a value resort with quick and easy access to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT through the Disney Skyliner. Located on the bridge connecting this resort to Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, you can stroll up to the station, board a gondola, and be whisked away to either park. It’s become one of my absolute favorite modes of transportation in Disney World, and when you can stay at one of the resorts along the Skyliner route, it’s a game-changer.

    Now, while the Skyliner might be great, it will not get you to the Walt Disney World Swan Hotel. The easiest and most convenient way to get from Disney’s Pop Century Resort to the Swan will be to take a rideshare like Uber or Lyft. It should be relatively inexpensive and readily available. You can also check to see if you can book a Minnie Van through Lyft to get you there with some extra comfort and flair!

    Now, inevitably, with me, it's going to come down to food, and I just have to make a recommendation or two. From the Everything POP Shopping and Dining food court, see if the infamous Tie-Dye Cheesecake is available for a nice dessert. Or, you know, breakfast. I don't judge! And if you want an adult beverage that feels like vacation, stop by the Petals Pool Bar for the Piña CoLAVA. It really is a vacation in a cup!

    Natalie, enjoy your groovy stay and your time at the resort. If you have any other questions, I'm right here to answer them!

    Sending all the retro vibes,
    Matt
