Bus Transportation

If you are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotels can take advantage of complimentary bus service to and from all 4 theme parks, Disney Resort hotels and the Disney Springs Area.

The buses are air conditioned and can be crowded at times. You will not always get a seat and they run about every 20 min. After the fireworks be prepared to wait. They are air-conditioned and a free easy option. Strollers have to be closed so be prepared to empty and close quickly. Do not have loose items stored below.

Water Transportation

The boat is a beautiful option and my kids enjoy it! Again strollers have to be closed so make sure you are prepared to do so. We use this often when staying at the Beach Club and take it directly to Hollywood studios. You can also take the boat to Epcot.
