Resort Transportation

Your resort choice affects how you get around Disney World. Some resorts have Skyliner stations, others are on the monorail loop, and a few offer walking distance to parks. Our resort guides help you understand exactly what transportation options you'll have.

Skyliner Resorts

The four Skyliner resorts offer gondola access to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios — the most common question we hear is "which resort has the best Skyliner access?" These guides answer that with real timing details and honest comparisons.

EPCOT-Area Resorts

Five resorts sit on Crescent Lake within walking distance of both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. No buses, no boats, no waiting — just walk. These guides cover walk times, boat options, and when each makes sense.

Monorail Resorts

The three monorail resorts sit on the Seven Seas Lagoon with direct monorail service to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT (via TTC transfer). Contemporary offers the best walking path to any park at Disney World, while Grand Floridian has a covered walkway and Polynesian adds boat launches to the mix.

Value Resorts

The All-Star resorts are Disney's most affordable options and rely entirely on bus transportation. No Skyliner, no monorail, no boats — just buses to every destination. All-Star Movies and Music share bus service (adding time per trip), while All-Star Sports has its own dedicated routes.
