Walt Disney World Transportation

Walt Disney World offers free transportation to its guests staying at Disney Resort hotels to and from all four theme parks and its two water parks.

There are four different main transportation systems at Walt Disney World: bus and water transportation, Disney Skyliner, and Disney Monorail.

Walt Disney World Bus Transportation

You can get to most locations in Walt Disney World by bus which is the most commonly utilized transportation option.

• Bus service between Disney Resort hotels and Disney Springs is available during Disney Springs operating hours and ends one hour after closing.
• Bus service between Disney Resort hotels and Disney theme parks begins 45 minutes prior to opening and ends one hour after closing.

Bus Transportation Between Disney Theme Parks and Disney Resort Hotels

Each Disney Resort hotel has its own designated bus stop which is often located near the front of the resort. There are signs at these stops that inform guests when the next bus will be arriving. Guests can also just tap “Get Directions” in the My Experience app to get directions and find out the most direct route.

Each theme park has its own bus area and guests can find signage that will direct them to the bus stop for your Disney Resort hotel.
