WALT DISNEY WORLD TRANSPORTATION & PARKING - PLANNING 101
|
|
In the spirit of helping people plan their most magical vacation to Walt Disney World, this week I'm sharing with you a guide to Walt Disney World's Transportation & Parking information.
For those of you that may be planning a trip, it's a great idea to become familiar with all of your transportation options while staying on the resort.
If you are staying on property, there are so many ways to get around the Walt Disney World Resort. Take advantage of the varied options to get to where you need to go. The buses, monorail, ferry boats, Skyliner, and Minnie Vans all provide service to different destinations and serve different purposes; each have their own pros and cons. In order to choose which transportation method is best, you need to understand more about each. Let’s explore!
