Welcome to planDisney, Tracy! Are you getting so excited about your upcoming trip to Walt Disney World Resort this weekend? Planning for your
transportation in advance is really smart because you'll have a bit of an idea of what to expect when you arrive. I'm happy to walk you through the details so you can settle your plans for getting to and from the Theme Parks!
Firstly, I just want to clarify that the
boats from
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside do not go to any Theme Parks, but take a relaxing journey down the Sassagoula River to
Disney Springs and back. All Theme Park transportation from this Resort Hotel is done through the complimentary bus system. From your Resort Hotel, it will take approximately 15 minutes to get to
Magic Kingdom Park,
Disney's Hollywood Studios, or
Disney's Animal Kingdom, and about 10 minutes to get to
EPCOT. Keep in mind that these times are approximate and don't include any time you spend waiting for the bus or any time the bus spends picking up Guests from other stops inside the Resort. Buses typically arrive every 20 minutes but can be more frequent during the busier times of the day, like first thing in the morning. There will be screens up at the bus stop to let you know when the next bus is coming, and you can use your
My Disney Experience app to check the schedule at your convenience as well!
I hope this answers your question, Tracy, and please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help you plan your magical vacation.
