Disney’s Wilderness Lodge to Other Destinations

You might also want to visit other popular locations, like the resort hotels, during your vacation. Most of these destinations require a transfer. Here are our suggestions for using complimentary transportation to get to these locations:

Monorail Resorts (Grand Floridian, Polynesian Village, and Disney’s Contemporary Resorts): Take a bus or boat to Magic Kingdom. Board the resort monorail outside the park’s entrance to any of these resorts. (After 3:00 p.m., you can also take a boat to Disney’s Contemporary Resort from Wilderness Lodge.)

Things You Need to Know

Transportation at Disney World is subject to availability and operating hours. For example, taking a bus from a theme park to a resort earlier in the day can be challenging. In the morning, the priority is getting guests to the park. So, if a bus transfer is required before 10:00 a.m., we usually take a car service for breakfast reservations.

It’s also important to note that some routes we’ve shared offer alternative options. For example, if you’re visiting Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, you might prefer to take a boat or bus to Magic Kingdom and then take a bus to the resort. We’ve tried to share the most straightforward ways.
