It's a catchy tune, but it is definitely NOT a "small world" at Walt Disney World! Disney World is twice the size of Manhattan and, if you don't understand all the various ways to get around, it can feel overwhelming. So let's talk about all the magical ways to get where you're going at Walt Disney World.
Walt Disney World Monorail System: Iconic and efficient, the monorail is not only a mode of transportation but also an attraction in itself. With sleek designs and futuristic vibes, it glides effortlessly above the crowds, providing stunning views of the resort. The monorail connects Magic Kingdom Park, Epcot, Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, making it a convenient option for hopping between these locations.
Disney Skyliner: For a bird's-eye view of the magic below, hop aboard the Disney Skyliner. This state-of-the-art gondola system connects Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot with several Disney resort hotels, including Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney's Riviera Resort, Disney's Pop Century Resort, and Disney's Art of Animation Resort. Glide above shimmering lakes and lush landscapes in comfortable cabins adorned with beloved Disney characters.
Disney Bus Transportation: Offering extensive coverage across the entire resort, Disney buses are a reliable option for getting from one place to another. With routes connecting theme parks, water parks, and Disney Springs with Disney resort hotels, these buses operate regularly, ensuring minimal wait times for guests. Although deluxe and moderate resorts often have alternate transportation options to at least some of the parks and/or Disney Springs, all Disney resorts will have bus transportation to at least one of the theme parks. So, sit back, relax, and let Disney's efficient bus system whisk you away to your next enchanting destination.
Water Transportation: Embrace the charm of Disney's waterways by opting for water transportation. Ferries, boats, and launches ply the Seven Seas Lagoon, Bay Lake, and the Sassagoula River, providing picturesque journeys between various resorts and theme parks or Disney Springs. Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, Disney's Contemporary Resort, Disney's Wilderness Lodge, and Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground all offer boat transportation to Magic Kingdom. Disney's Yacht Club Resort, Disney's Beach Club Resort, and Disney's Boardwalk Inn all offer boat transportation to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Disney's Port Orleans Resort-Riverside and Disney's Port Orleans Resort-French Quarter along with Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort and Disney's Old Key West Resort all offer boat transportation to Disney Springs. Whether you're sailing on a majestic ferry beneath the shadow of Cinderella Castle or cruising along the tranquil waters of Crescent Lake, these nautical adventures add an extra dash of magic to your Disney experience.
Minnie Vans: Need to get to your dining reservation in style or make a quick trip across the resort? Look no further than Minnie Vans. These whimsically themed vehicles, inspired by Minnie Mouse herself, offer a convenient and comfortable way to travel within Disney World property. Operated through the Lyft app, Minnie Vans provide a personalized transportation experience with friendly, knowledgeable drivers (who are Disney cast members) ready to sprinkle a little extra pixie dust on your journey.
Walking Paths: For those who prefer to take in the sights at their own pace, Disney World boasts scenic walking paths connecting select resorts and theme parks. Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Disney's Contemporary Resort both have walking paths to Magic Kingdom and Disney's Beach Club Resort, Disney's Yacht Club Resort, and Disney's Boardwalk Inn all have a walking path to both Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Walking not only offers a leisurely alternative to other transportation options but also allows you to uncover hidden gems and unexpected delights along the way.
No matter which mode of transportation you choose, each journey at Disney World is an adventure in itself. From the futuristic allure of the monorail to the nostalgic charm of Disney buses, every ride is imbued with the same enchantment that defines the Disney experience. So, the next time you find yourself exploring the wonders of Disney World, remember to savor every moment of the journey, for it's not just about reaching your destination—it's about the magic of getting there.
