Getting from park to park.

[Jonathan Lin]

I'm staying off site that provides free transport to Magic Kingdom at 7:30AM.

There's complimentary Disney transportation to and from each park correct? How early do they start running?

What about the waterparks? I need to get to Typhoon lagoon and blizzard beach from magic kingdom. I can't seem to find website that shows all this. Would it be free? Also getting from typhoon lagoon to blizzard beach, what's the best way to get from one park to another?

All I see is on their website.. The other link they provided doesn't open for me.

• Magic Kingdom park and Epcot are connected via monorail
• Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios are connected via boat
• Magic Kingdom park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios are connected via bus
• Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park is connected to the 3 other theme parks via bus

How early do these run? And are they hard to figure out?

Thanks!

From any park you can take Disney transportation to any Disney resort and then transfer to a bus to the water parks (or DTD or any other park).

Use the Disney transportation. They don't ticket you, or charge you. Just hop on a bus, monorail or boat depending on where you're going and what form of transportation is available.

The link below will tell you your route to and from anywhere on property.

NOTE: Your hotel shuttle will most likely drop you at the Transportation and Ticket center and not actually at Magic Kingdom.

I have to agree with hakunamatata that you would just have to make a pit stop at a hotel to jump buses. And that goes for all modes of transportation. There is not a monorail that goes directly from Epcot to MK or vice versa. You would just have to transfer monorails at the transportation and ticket center. I believe the same applies to the boats.

None of the transfers are hard, you just need to allow some additional time. I would allow 30-60 minutes from the time you walk out of one park to the time you walk in the next.

If you're at Magic Kingdom and want to get to another park or one of the water parks, the easiest thing would probably be to walk over to the Contemporary and catch one of the buses there. The walk from Magic Kingdom to the Contemporary is 10 to 15 minutes.

Why not just take the buses at MK instead of walking to the contemporary?

Because there is no direct bus service from MK to the waterparks, or there did not used to be.

This may not be a very popular answer, but we drive. You only have to pay for parking once a day, and you can hop parks in a lot less than an hour. Of course we also have little kids and strollers which makes an hour commute without restraints stressful.

You would only need to drive to AK or the water parks. MK, EPCOT and HS are very well connected and a fun commute.

To say that there is no monorail that goes from MK to Epcot is like saying there is no subway from the Pentagon to Union Station in DC. Yes, there is. You just have to transfer. In this example, take the yellow line to Gallery Place then transfer to the red line for Union Station. In the case of WDW, the transfer point is the TTC between the MK Express Line and the Epcot line.

Thank you JohnD for quoting/repeating what I had sad. I think my explanation was a little shorter and to the point than yours but in the end they both have the same message.

You did say the same thing. Guess you must have said it wrong.
