In-Depth Information
The Disney transportation system utilizes boat, bus and a monorail to shuttle visitors to
hotels, theme parks and other attractions within the resort. The Transportation & Ticket
Center operates as the main hub of this system. Note that it can take an hour to get from
point A to point B using the Disney transportation system, and there is not always a direct
route. Pick up a copy of the
Walt Disney World Transportation Guide/Map
at the resorts
or from Guest Services at the parks, or download it in advance.
