Disney World Hotel Closes Popular Transportation Perk for Guests
A long-standing transportation perk at a Walt Disney World resort hotel has come to an end, affecting how guests move around the property.
Walt Disney World has quietly closed a major transportation perk that had been available to guests staying at one of its resort hotels. The change, first noted by Disney Food Blog, removes a service that many visitors had relied on during their stays.
What Changed for Hotel Guests
The perk in question gave guests staying at a specific Disney World hotel convenient access to a transportation option that connected them to theme parks, dining areas, and other resort locations. Its closure means visitors will need to look at alternative ways to get around the property.
Disney has not publicly outlined the reasoning behind the closure, and it remains unclear whether the change is temporary or permanent. For now, guests booking stays at the affected hotel should plan ahead and review the transportation options still available to them.
Alternative Ways to Get Around the Resort
Walt Disney World offers several transportation choices across its property, and guests can often mix and match depending on their plans for the day.
- Disney's complimentary bus network links resort hotels with all four theme parks and Disney Springs.
- The Skyliner gondola system serves a select group of resorts and EPCOT, weather permitting.
- Friendship boats run between certain resort areas and EPCOT or Disney's Hollywood Studios.
- Walking paths connect several nearby resorts, offering a scenic option for guests who prefer not to wait.
What Guests Should Keep in Mind
Travelers with upcoming reservations at the affected hotel may want to contact Disney or check the official Walt Disney World app for the latest transportation schedules. The closure is part of a broader pattern of shifts at the resort, as Disney continues to refine guest services heading into the next season.
