Complimentary Disney buses run approximately every 20 minutes [on average] from all onsite Walt Disney World Resort hotels. Select Resort bus stops feature signs with the destinations that are serviced from that location and the bus marquees will indicate the buses' main destinations. Listed below you will find some of the general information regarding bus transportation from WDW hotels (including Swan and Dolphin). Guests using Disney transportation to travel to a resort character breakfast must use one of the four theme parks or Disney Springs as a transfer point.
Special Note: Official Disney Transportation operates according to theme park operating schedules. As a result, please consider park closing times when relying on Disney Transportation to travel to and from resorts, using other theme parks as transfer points. In general, buses run 60-90 minutes before park opening and 60-90 minutes after park closing.
This especially affects your dining plans. For example, if you are staying at an All-Star Resort and planning to eat at the Contemporary Resort at 9:30 p.m. you may be unable to use a theme park as a transfer point due to the fact that most (if not all) theme parks would be closed. For specific questions, ask your travel agent or WDW representative.
