Best way to get to Disney Springs from AK and HS?

[Lydia S]

I haven't been to the parks since pre-covid in 2019, and found out through other posts that there are no longer buses from the Parks to DS. We are staying at Pop and are depending solely on Parks transportation for this trip. For the days that we go to AK and HS, we were planning on going over to DS for the evenings/nights. What's the best/easiest/quickest way to get there from these two parks? The options I've seen so far are:

1. Go back to Pop and take a bus to DS from there.
2. Take a bus to Saratoga Springs from the parks and walk to DS.
3. For HS, walk over to Boardwalk and take a bus from there.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

For DHS, take a boat to Boardwalk, then bus to springs.
For AK, you might have to go to AKL.

Last I checked they no longer offered buses to the springs from the parks. But before then it was after 3

Even pre-covid, the buses between DS and the parks only started running around 4pm. I hope at some point, they bring that back - it was nice having the DS dining options at the end of a park day.

The recommendation from AK would be easy for us - a bus to AKL and then transfer to the DS bus. From HS, it's a pretty easy 1-mile walk or so to BW, and you could certainly take a bus from there. Or you could catch any resort bus from DS, take it to the resort, and then transfer to the DS buses.

The SS idea is also a good one. It's probably a shorter walk from SS to DS than it is from HS to BW. Enjoy your trip!

Thanks everyone for the advice! I've never been over to Boardwalk, so on HS days, we will definitely check it out. Same with AKL. We'll take a bus over there first, check out the resort, then go to DS from there.

Can't wait to see both those resorts decked out in Christmas decorations.

One more possible option from DHS would be Skyliner to CBR and DS bus from there - but I've never stayed at CBR so not sure how far the walk is from the Skyliner station to the nearest bus stop!

I would take the skyliner to Pop Century or Riviera before trying to get a bus at CBR, they have about seven or eight bus stops. of course that would mean you have to switch Skyliner lines.

you can also take a bus to Saratoga Springs from either park, get out at Congress Park and walk to Disney Springs.
