How do I see all of these with the resort parking issues? Last time we tried to park at the resorts they said we needed a reservation. How did you get from resort to resort? We hope to go on the 29th.
DFB Gigi says
Hi Michelle! To hit all of them, you could always park at Disney Springs and take the bus to Animal Kingdom Lodge first, then take the bus from there to Magic Kingdom where you can hop on the monorail for Contemporary, Polynesian and Grand Floridian. After that, you can take the monorail back to Magic Kingdom and hop on the Friendship Boats to travel to BoardWalk and Yacht Club. 🙂
