Hi Jason!
Welcome to planDisney. Can you believe you'll be arriving at Walt Disney World Resort in just over a month? After all that planning, your vacation is finally about to begin! If you haven't already done so, now is a great opportunity to check off any of those last-minute details from your to-do list. In addition to purchasing your theme park admission, be sure that you've booked your
Disney Park Pass reservations for the first park you plan to visit each day. This is also a good time to look for
advance dining reservations that may not have been available right when your 60-day dining window opened up. Lately, I've even had great luck finding hard-to-get dining reservations around 72-24 hours in advance. If there's something on your wish list, like a spot at
Space 220 Restaurant, don't give up –– you might be surprised what pops up if you keep checking back!
When it comes to Walt Disney World bus transportation, I have trouble being patient, too. In fact, one of my favorite things about staying at the Resorts around Crescent Lake, like
Disney's Yacht Club Resort, is that I have the option to walk to both
EPCOT and
Disney's Hollywood Studios directly from my Resort. But while the idea of taking a car to
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is good, in theory, a rideshare service can only drop you off at the Resort's main entrance if you're a registered Resort Guest or a Guest with a confirmed dining reservation. If you'd still like to skip the bus and take the monorail without a dining reservation, you're welcome to take a rideshare service to the Transportation and Ticket Center and jump on the monorail there. From that point, the monorail stops at
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort before heading on to
Magic Kingdom Park.
Thanks for visiting planDisney, Jason. No matter how you choose to get around, I hope your upcoming visit is filled with lots of pixie dust and quick trips around Walt Disney World Resort!
See Ya Real Soon,
Amy
