Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your transportation question, Angela!
Two of my fave places to be sure! Well let's face it, I have lots of "favorite" places around
Walt Disney World. The newly refurbished rooms at
Disney's Yacht Club Resort are sleek and gorgeous so I think you are really going to love it there. And dinner at Boma? To die for!
In the interest of speed as you mentioned, the best suggestion would be to call on a
Minnie Van. It's a ride like no other and the service is outstanding so check it out. Should you choose to use Walt Disney World Transportation from your resort, this would be your route... Either walk or take a Friendship Boat to Disney's Hollywood Studios. From there, transfer to a bus heading to Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. The entire trip should be around 45 minutes to an hour. However, I always recommend that you allow an hour and a half in order to make a dining reservation. You just never know what unexpected delays could come along.
Enjoy it all!
Magically yours in 2018,
Jacqui
