Best place to park at Disney Springs to get to AoA bus?

[frosty714]

We are trying to find the best garage/lot to park in at DS for the shortest walk to the AoA bus stop. Is it the lime garage? I can’t tell from the map if you can go out the left side of the garage or if you need to take the main exit in the middle of the garage which leads into DS and walk around to get there. Any advice is appreciated, thank you!

Why not just park at AoA?

Reports are, that people who are not staying at the Gondola resorts are being turned away and they’re no longer allowed to park there.

I think Orange is a bit closer then Lime, but I’m not 100% sure.

Faster to park at HS lot and take Skyliner to AoA.

Maybe. But not free if you’re not a resort guest or if you don’t have an AP.

That wasn't the case last week at AoA.

We parked in the lime garage last time and exited through the stairs on the far end in the corner, furthest from the garage entrance driveway and past the main walkway. The door dumped us out at a sidewalk to Town Center. We had to cross the narrow service road but there was a crosswalk. We could have easily made a left and been right at the bus stops rather than walking straight into Town Center. So I would suggest parking in that corner of the lime garage and taking the stairwell, rather than using the walkway.

We will have a stroller with us but that would have been perfect!

Hit and miss I guess. I’ve just seen some reports.

Understandable when it happens, because Disney wants AoA parking to be available for AoA guests, Disney Springs parking spaces to be there for DS shoppers and Diners...and recommends that guests wanting to use the Skyliner access it from the DHS parking lot.

When we were at AoA Feb 13-16, there was a sign, very similar to the one for Pop below, indicating that due to limited parking, only AoA resort guests could park there:

I wonder if they only put this sign out certain times of the day.

Well, the stroller will need to be folded and carried on the bus. But if the stroller can't be carried down the stairs of the parking ramp, you could use the walkway from the garage to Disney Springs, go down the elevator, and then would just have to double back towards the parking garage. Follow the sidewalk between Disney Springs and the parking garage and it will lead you to the bus stops.
