Your Disney World Transportation And Park Hopping Guide

Are you trying to figure out how to get to each park? We have you covered right here with your Disney World transportation and park hopping guide! You can even print this out and take it with you for an easy reference.

Disney World Park Transportation Guide

Ready to use that Disney World Park Hopper pass but not sure how? Every park has at least one transportation option for you to park hop with. Look below to see how to get from one park to another! You can also download the My Disney Experience app and it will provide you with the different transportation routes.

Buses

Bus services from Disney World Resorts begin 45 minutes before park openings and they stop heading to the parks 1 hour before the park closes. Return bus service to each Disney World Resort ends 2 hours after the park closes.

Monorail

The Disney World Monorail System operates from 30 minutes prior to earliest park opening until one hour after latest park closing.

Water Transportation

Water Taxis and Ferries operate between Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Disney Springs. These run on 15-30 minute intervals. These are normally more of a relaxed ride and make several stops so this may not always be the fastest route. It is nice to just sit back and take in all the views!
