food IS a theme park
We talk a lot about Disney World — the food, the hotels, the rides, and everything in between.

We try to tell you things that will make your Disney vacation better and this tip is not about trying to get everything done. It’s the opposite actually and our fearless leader, AJ, allowed us to share this story with you to teach you a very valuable lesson.
One of our favorite things about Disney is the free transportation from Disney Resorts to the theme parks. We use them all the time!
Disney Bus
Because we use them all the time, we have to deal with many bus “icks”, and this one drives us crazy!
Disney World is huge; with four theme parks, two water parks, multiple golf courses, a shopping and dining district, and over 25 resort hotels, it can be easy to get lost.
Welcome to Disney World!
But don’t worry! That is why Disney World offers free transportation all around the property in the form of buses, monorails, the Skyliner, and watercraft! We go to Disney World every day, and we know how important it is to be efficient and make the most of your vacation days. We have tried every transportation hack, but these eight are our favorites.
When it comes to planning your Disney World vacation, you may consider adding the park hopper option to your ticket.

While park hopping is often seen as a strategy to maximize your time and experience in the parks, sometimes it is not the hack you would think it is. While park hopping does give you the flexibility to visit multiple parks in one day, it sometimes can cause more stress to your park day.
There are a lot of free transportation options in Disney World to help you get around.
Magic Kingdom
From trains, boats, buses, and more, you can get where you need to on Disney property. We love the free transportation but there are some pitfalls you might run into. If you are going for the first time, you’ll want to watch out for common mistakes people make. If you are a veteran, you know how some transportation issues can arise.
Traveling around Disney World seems a little stressful until you realize that if you’re staying on Disney World property, you can get complimentary transportation pretty much anywhere you go!

However, there are some transportation mistakes we see happening over and over again that we know mess people up. Whether you’re using Disney World transportation or not, PLEASE be aware of these potential Disney World transportation mistakes and know how to avoid them!
Disney World is huge as it is home to four theme parks, two water parks, a shopping and dining district, over 25 hotels, and so much more.
Welcome to Disney World!
All of this may sound overwhelming, and if you are worried about getting around the resort, Disney World provides free transportation for guests staying at their resorts as well as for those looking to park hop. While we have a few gripes with Disney World transportation (we are looking at you, TTC!), we are really starting to wonder when Disney World will fix the limited transportation options to Animal Kingdom as well as some of their resorts.
If you’ve been following along with us at DisneyFoodBlog, you might have gotten the impression that we have a personal vendetta against Disney World buses. And I get it.

It feels like we’re always out here waving our caution flag, warning you about all the potential pitfalls of relying on those iconic (and free!) Disney buses for your transportation needs. But here’s the kicker: We actually like the Disney World buses!
One thing that can make or break your Disney World vacation? Transportation!
EPCOT monorail
Depending on where you’re staying and where you’re going, there are half a dozen different methods of transportation for getting around Disney World. Some of them are fan favorites, while others are not as beloved. And perhaps the most controversial of them all is the Disney World buses.
We know that transportation to the parks can sometimes be a pain.

This is especially the case when you are trying to get to the Magic Kingdom but need to make it through the Transportation and Ticket Center first. It can also be challenging to get to EPCOT, especially when you are trying to Rope Drop attractions in the World Showcase, but did you know that EPCOT has two entrances?
