    We are staying at All Star Sports, can we drive to Art of Animation and park to spend some time in the Cars themed area? Or do we have to park at a theme park and take Disney transport to the resort?

    Hi Ashley,

    One of the things I love most about a Disney World vacation is the level of theming present at each of the unique Disney Resort hotels. Each hotel has its own special vibe, worthy of a visit to explore! We love making advanced dining reservations at different Resort hotels and skipping around to explore them on our visits. 

    Unfortunately, you are not able to park at a Disney Resort hotel unless you are a guest of that hotel or you have an advanced dining reservation for a restaurant located there. Even if you have an advanced dining reservation, your car can only remain there while you visit for that experience and must be moved before you head over to Disney's theme parks for the day. My recommendation would be to take the bus from Disney's All-Star Sports Resort to Hollywood Studios and jump on the Disney Skyliner. The Disney Skyliner will take you to Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, Riviera Resort, and Art of Animation Resort. It also makes a stop at the International Gateway in EPCOT. From the International Gateway, you can walk to Disney's BoardWalk, which features activities like Surrey Bike rental, arcade games, and several delicious restaurants.

    I love this option because the Disney Skyliner is one of my favorite ways to get around at Disney World. It feels like a theme park ride with a bird's eye view of Disney World. This way, you also have the option to visit several different Disney Resort hotels. I think you will also love the theming and outdoor games at Disney's Riviera Resort. They also have some fabulous dining options like Topolino's Terrace and Bar Riva, which are the perfect way to spend an afternoon. You could make a day out of visiting the Cars-themed area at Disney's Art of Animation Resort, playing outdoor games, or grabbing a bite to eat at Disney's Riviera Resort, and then shopping and exploring Disney's BoardWalk. 

    Make sure at the end of your day to head back to Hollywood Studios for a bus ride back to the All-Star Sports Resort! If you stop at EPCOT, you will have to walk through the theme park and use a ticket to get back to the bus stop. 

    Happy Planning,
    Jenna
