Disney’s BoardWalk Resort’s Bus Schedule (With Stops)

One of the perks of staying at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort is having complimentary bus service to and from select theme parks, water parks, and Disney Springs. While you’ll find multiple transportation options at the resort, some destinations require a bus ride. So for this article, we’ll focus specifically on the BoardWalk’s bus schedule, including average travel times and what to expect during your stay.

For reference, those staying at Disney’s BoardWalk will have access to the following complimentary transportation from the resort: the Skyliner, boats, buses, and walking paths. (You can walk or boat to Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios from this resort!)

Regarding the buses, you’ll need to take them when visiting Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs. It’s also important to know that BoardWalk shares a bus service with the neighboring Beach and Yacht Club for Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney Springs. You’ll be the last stop on the way to those destinations, but you’ll have two extra stops at the other resorts on the return trip. This is how the routes work:

• Disney’s Yacht Club (1st Stop)
• Disney’s Beach Club (2nd Stop)
• Disney’s BoardWalk (3rd Stop)
• Disney’s Animal Kingdom (Destination)

on the return trip

• Disney’s Animal Kingdom (Board Bus)
• Disney’s Yacht Club (1st Stop)
• Disney’s Beach Club (2nd Stop)
• Disney’s BoardWalk (Last Stop)

*Extra buses run at the resorts first thing in the morning when more people are traveling to the parks. So, you won’t have to worry about the bus filling before it reaches the BoardWalk.

BoardWalk’s bus stop is at the end of a long covered walkway, accessible from the resort’s front entrance. The entire stop is under a covered pavilion with a couple of benches. It gets fairly congested during the busier portions of the day.
