On our last trip Little Man was on a mission to get only one thing while at Disney. And that one thing was the diecast Disney Bus. Yep, out of all the rides and shows we saw the Disney Bus is what was the hit.
On most trips we do have a car but we always take advantage of Disney Bus Transportation when we get a chance. And what’s even better is that we can let the older kids go off on their own without worries.
Most areas throughout Walt Disney World Resort are accessible by bus although you may have to transfer busses to get to your final desitnation. Please note that some resorts do not have bus service to some attractions due to their proximity to the Monorail or Boat service. Also, buses from Downtown Disney only go to the resorts and Typhoon Lagoon.
There are over 300 buses in the Disney fleet making their goal of noone waiting longer than 20 minutes for a bus achievable. Typically seating on the buses are at a minimum allowing to fill the buses with more people standing. This is great for getting back to your resort quickly but bad for your aching feet after a day at the parks.

Please be kind and if you do have a seat please give them up to people in need. i.e. pregnant women, elderly, very small children, etc. We have trained our teenager he is to give up his seat if anyone looks like they need it. (there is a rant here for another post)
The busses typically run one hour prior to Park opening until one hour after closing. Buses for Downtown Disney run later; usually until 2:00 AM.
The Walt Disney World website has this great tool for locating the different bus stops across property. Could be handy for planning your route or for deciding what resorts to stay at.

If you have a question about how to get somewhere do not hesitate to ask a Cast Member. They will surely know the way.
What an adorable photo! The Disney buses are pretty awesome!
Amazing pictures and the look on his face-you totally need to send this to Disney!
Thank you! My son is a bit of a ham. I think having a blog may have conditioned him for it.
I love that you guys are Disney bus fans too! If I\\\’d known how much the kids would love all of the inter resort transportation, we almost would have gotten away without park admission.Except I love being in the parks too. It\\\’s wonderful how we can just enjoy the travel. That should probably be a metaphor I embrace, but so far I\\\’m a bit too Type A to do that.
Lol! I am also type A so I completely understand!
Oh we have the toy buses as well, love playing with these. And still getting used to the new paint job on the buses. Thanks for sharing!
It’s the little things. 🙂 He’s a cutie.
I never saw the toy bus- your cutie should do a commercial!!
Super cute shot! The busses sometimes get a bad rap- but I actually enjoy the bus transportation (most of the time). I LOVE not having to drive while I’m on vacation.
Aww his face is precious! His obsession with the bus is like my son’s with the monorail. It’s all he wanted to do.
What a cutie!! He is just so adorable! He ought to be in a Disney commercials! I saw some of the new buses when were there in May. They were just testing them out. Very cool! I’m not as excited about riding the buses as my sons. As long as the air is strong and there’s a seat I’m good to go:)
What an adorable photo! It’s the little things that fascinate young children. I had no idea about the bus route map. I’ll have to remember that!
Mary, he is so cute. I love that he is holding the toy bus. I love The new look of the buses. 🙂
Gotta love the new Diet Coke look of the buses, eh?
I never through of it like that. Lol! They definitely do look that way.
How cute he is with his bus!
