A nice trip across the EPCOT lagoon if you don't feel like walking all the way across. I hear that it goes to MGM too...

Magic Kingdom Ferry boats

"Nice"

19 years ago by WDWMAGIC visitor "MEEE"

The ferry is a nice change of pace from more conventional ways of transportation but it was decent speed and it served its purpose well. It was a good ride too.

Launch boats

"Lesser known launch..."

19 years ago by WDWMAGIC visitor "MouseWorshipper"

A lesser-known launch takes Port Orleans resort guests to Downtown Disney ever 20 minutes before 7pm and every 10 minutes afterwards. Great for a romantic evening or a Girls' Night Out. The river ride is perfectly serene at night.

Used it love it. Almost like the mouse picks you up at MCO and you are on your way.

Bus Transportation

"MUCH THANKS !!"

19 years ago by WDWMAGIC visitor "bodeeboy"

I would like to thank all of the transportation personel at Disney! All in all, to have to deal with all those thousands of happy, (and not so happy!), revved up vacation folk, I think the bus drivers perform very professionally! I am a wheelchair user, due to M.S, and found that the drivers I encountered were for the most part, very courtious, considering how much extra work it is to strap one of these wheelchairs into place , the drivers were always friendly and never impatient or rude in any way. Thanks for the great service! Looking foward to another great trip next year!!

Bus Transportation

"Patience and a sense of humor"

Secrets to riding disney buses: You want to be the first one in the park, wake up early. Now, this is hard with kids. In this case, don't rush if it's too stressful. The parks are soooo crowded first thing in the morning. Take some time to enjoy a relaxing breakfast and family time. Wait about 15-20 minutes after the park opens at 9:00 to get on the bus. Water parks take a lot of time to get to. In the morning, they are the first stop then the theme park, but at night or during a closing, it's opposite. Avoid long lines at the end of the day by leaving before fireworks or before the last parade of the day. If you want to stay, then fine. Wait 15-20 minutes after the fireworks or last parade is over then make your way out to the bus stop. At water parks, do the same thing. Either leave before the park closes or wait 15-20 minutes after they close to make your way out. Long lines are formed when everyone leaves at once.Help your driver help you. Take responsibility for your actions!! Don't enter through the back door unless you are with a guest with a wheelchair or scooter. Have your strollers folded before the bus pulls up to the stop. If you have a really big stroller and you can't get it through the front door, then feel free to ASK the driver if you can come in the back door. Do not assume that the driver will automatically do this for you. It all depends on the type of bus. Some front doors are bigger than others. If you are going from your hotel to a restaurant and have to transfer at theme park by either bus, boat or monorail, allow yourself a FULL hour to a hour and a half or travel time. Bring the reservation, restaurant name, location and phone # with you in case you have to call them directly to hold your reservation. NO there is no direct bus to Downtown Disney. In most cases the closet resort to the DTD area with the fewest stops is your best bet.Don't ask Guest Services questions about buses. Ask a bus driver. Plan ahead. Buses are free, taxis aren't. Pick a resort closest to the theme park that you think you will spend most of your vacation at and will fit your budget. The closer you are to a certain theme park, the more buses you will see. Example, at Pop Century you will see more MGM, Epcot and Downtown buses because these are close. We're working on a new system for the buses that we hope will make our service more efficient. Please be patient. It takes a while to make improvements. Don't hesitate to make a complaint or give a compliment to a bus driver. We are human too. We have bad days and good days just like you. Nothing is perfect!!

Bus Transportation

"Easy way to get around."

19 years ago by WDWMAGIC visitor "disney1077"

The transportation system could use some adjustments such as more buses to go to each hotel instead of them sharing. But for someone who doesnt drive it is a great way to get around disney. You dont have to worry about parking or walking from the parking lot to the front of the entrance. You dont have to worry about car rental fees. In my experience the worst times were where the parks open and close and late night events. But otherwise it is a good system.

Disney Magical Express

"Cheap way to get Disney World"

19 years ago by WDWMAGIC visitor "disney1077"

I had a good experience with the magical express. I got at the hotel at 12pm, my room was not ready so I went to downtown disney. When I got back my room was ready and my luggage was there. It is nice that you dont have to worry about dragging your luggage all over the place. And the bus ride is nice. And best of all it is free.

Walt Disney World Monorail System

"A must do monorail ride"

19 years ago by WDWMAGIC visitor "Madam Leota"

At Christmas, one of the best things to do is to ride up front with the driver from MK to EPCOT. The monorail goes right around the Spaceship Earth ball and thru all the Christmas lights on the bridge. I did this last year and it was the most amazing suprise of my trip. Next time, I plan on having my camcorder ready so I can tape the experience and relive it over and over and over again!!!

Walt Disney World Monorail System

"The Monorail is Awsome!"

19 years ago by WDWMAGIC visitor "wdwron08"

The Monorail is the best way to get from TTC (Ticket & Transportation Center), Epcot, And the Magic Kingdom, And the Resorts. I like the current Monorails better than the old Monorails because they are more comfortable. The best thing about riding the Monorail is riding in fromt of the monorail.
