Todays highlighted mode of transportation: WDW Buses!

A big question we are asked often is are Disney Buses free?

The simple answer is, YES!

Disney buses are the easiest way to get from your resort hotel to one of the theme parks, water parks, or Disney Springs! They are even wheelchair accessible.

Most buses will pick up at the front of your resort but some resorts have multiple bus stops, so make sure you are at the bus stop closest to you!

Buses normally begin running one hour before the earliest park opening and at least one hour after the last park closes.

Wanting to park hop? Buses will start traveling between parks between 1 pm and 2 pm until the parks close! They are a great way to sit back and relax and let someone else do the driving!

Do you take the Disney buses?

🚨 Did you hear!? 😱

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at EPCOT will NO LONGER offer a virtual queue 👏👏

Starting January 10, 2022, you won’t have to worry about waking up early to get that virtual queue spot in the morning. You can just join the standby line when you are ready!

Virtual queues will continue to be utilized on a “as needed basis” for new attractions to mange crowd levels.

If you don’t won’t to spend time waiting in the standby queue, you can still purchase the Individual Lightning Lane and skip the queue line on your next trip.
