Disney Transportation options from the resorts

Here’s all the info you need about Disney transportation to and from the theme parks!

One of the major perks that is included with staying at a Disney resort is the free transportation to and from the theme parks. While bus is the most common mode of transportation, some of the resorts offer other fun ways to travel. These include the monorail, boats, and the new Skyliner gondolas. Some resorts are even close enough to the theme parks to walk!

If you have a Disney trip coming up with a stay at one of these resorts, you might be wondering about which transportation option to use for each park. I’ve put together a quick guide detailing all of the options at each location. Hope this helps!

Please note: Due to current COVID-19 restrictions and some resorts not being open, certain modes of transportation may be closed for a time. Please double check the Disney website to see which Disney transportation options are up and running.
