Disney’s Coronado Springs Bus Schedule, Stops, and Routes Guide
When it comes to staying at Disney’s Coronado Springs, you’re limited to the buses in regards to complimentary transportation to and from the resort. Thankfully, all you have to do is sit back, relax, and leave the driving to Disney. That said, we’re often asked the same question: How long does it take?
Unfortunately, we can’t estimate how long you’ll have to wait at the bus stop. On average, a bus for each destination runs about every 20 minutes or less. We can, however, tell you the average travel time from Disney’s Coronado Springs to destinations like Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs. We’ve tracked these routes (multiple times) to provide a fair average. In this guide, we’ll cover where the bus stops are located, how often buses run, and provide a printable bus schedule with the average travel times.
Coronado Springs Bus Stops
Disney’s Coronado Springs has four bus stops, one in each resort section. The theme park buses enter the resort off Western Way and start at the Casitas (bus stop 2) before looping the resort. The shared stop between El Centro and Gran Destino Tower is the last on the loop (bus stop 1) before the bus exits the resort to travel to its destination. So the theme park buses travel in the following order:
- Bus Stop 2 (Casitas)
- Bus Stop 3 (Ranchos)
- Bus Stop 4 (Cabanas)
- Bus Stop 1 (Gran Destino/El Centro)
An exception to this rule is the Disney Springs bus. It enters the resort off Buena Vista Drive and drops guests off at El Centro/Gran Destino Tower (bus stop 1) first. Then, it continues to the Casitas (bus stop 2) and loops around the resort. The Disney Springs bus exits the resort after it stops at the Cabanas (bus stop 4).
