Disney World Expands Water Park Transportation Options at Select Resorts

Disney World Adds Direct Water Park Bus Service at Select Resorts This Summer

Getting to Disney’s water parks is about to be a whole lot less splash-and-dash stressful for some Walt Disney World Resort guests. Disney has quietly expanded direct bus transportation to both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach from select resort hotels just in time for the busy summer season and the return of the free water park perk for hotel guests.

Beginning May 26 through September 8, guests staying at Walt Disney World Resort hotels will once again receive complimentary admission to a Disney water park on their check-in day. With both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach operating simultaneously this summer, Disney is expecting a wave pool-sized increase in attendance and is adjusting transportation options accordingly.

Guests staying at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside and Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter can now take direct bus transportation to and from Typhoon Lagoon. Previously, guests heading to the tropical water park had to transfer buses at Disney Springs.

Meanwhile, guests staying at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, and Disney’s All-Star Resorts can now enjoy direct bus service to Blizzard Beach. Before this change, guests typically had to transfer at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Guests staying at other Walt Disney World Resort hotels will still need to make those transfers depending on which water park they are visiting. Disney says transportation schedules and pickup locations may vary, so guests should check posted signage or the My Disney Experience app for the latest details.

The expanded transportation options should make it easier for guests to maximize that free water park admission perk without needing to navigate multiple bus connections before even hitting the lazy river. Because nothing says “vacation mode” quite like skipping the transportation side quest before your first waterslide.
