    Going to be in WDW for only 2 days this fall. Which resorts would be best to stay at to maximize my time at the parks? I'm a DLR expert, but know almost nothing about WDW! Thank you!

    This Walt Disney World Resort “expert” extends a warm welcome to you, a Disneyland Resort expert! Sarah, you are going to love the Most Magical Place on Earth!

    When planning your visit, I recommend staying at any of the resort hotels that are linked to either the Monorail or Disney’s Skyliner. These transportation options will help maximize your travels to the theme parks.

    The Monorail resorts include Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa (my family’s favorite). The Monorail will take you from your resort to Magic Kingdom Park. You can also exit the Resort Monorail at the Ticket and Transportation Center and easily board the Monorail to EPCOT. However, staying at the “Monorail resorts” means you will have to use complimentary bus transportation to both Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

    Disney’s Skyliner resorts include Disney’s Riviera Resort (so very nice), Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, and Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. Disney’s Skyliner will take you to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and EPCOT. You will need to utilize other complimentary transportation options to Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

    Keep in mind that Disney Transportation is complimentary as part of your resort stay! Whether riding by boat, bus, Monorail, or Disney Skyliner, you can count on complimentary Disney Transportation to get you all around the “world.”

    Sarah, my wish for you is to enjoy the Most Magical Place on Earth as much as you enjoy the Happiest Place on Earth!

    Dreams do come true!
