Fastest/easiest way to get to Disney Springs from AK or HS?

[Alice777]

Am I right that there is no direct transportation that takes you from any of the parks to Disney Springs?

If that is so, what is the fastest/easiest way to go to Disney Springs from Animal Kingdom or Hollywood Studios?

Go to any of the resort, then take bus from resort to Disney Springs? Is this the fastest/easiest way? If so, which resort should we go to take the bus to DS?

I was thinking if we can't find any QS we like in AK or HS for dinner, we can have dinner at Wolfgang Puck Express instead.

If you go to one of the Port Orleans ones you could take a boat to DS. And Saratoga Springs has a walking path to DS

Take the bus to Saratoga Springs and get off at Congress Park. It's a 5 minute walk from there.

Sorry. Should have added "free" way to get to DS.

It's unfortunate, but if they made it too easy, people would park there instead of paying to park at the parks.

Take a bus to any resort then a bus to dtd
Okw ssr and po all have water transportation to dtd

Based on how long we waited for a water taxi when we stayed at POR this summer, I'd say lots of people are choosing that option.

Personally, if at AK, I would grab the bus to AKL - five minute ride, and transfer to DS bus.
If at DHS, I would walk over to Swan/Dolphin and grab the DS bus from there. (Unless I sawa friendship boat pulling up, then I'd hop on that to Swan and grab the bus)

From any park we take the bus to Saratoga Springs resort and walk over to Disney Springs. Saves you waiting on 2 buses or a bus and a boat. We tried going to POR one time and taking the boat, but we ended up just missing the boat and waiting a really long time, so if you don't mind the walk I say SS!

I think you meant "From any park take the BUS ( not boat) to Saratoga Springs. Then walk to Disney Springs. Also be sure to get off the bus at the Congress Park bus stop.

Wouldn't it be a shorter walk to the boardwalk buss stop than swan and dolphin from HS?

Yes, you are absolutely right, there is no transportation from any Park to Disney Springs. The fastest way to get to Disney Springs from any Park would be to take the bus to Saratoga Springs Resort. Get off at the Congress Park bus stop. Walk across the narrow parking lot and follow the sidewalk around the left of the last building on the far left out to the sidewalk along the lake overlooking Disney Springs. Continue left down the sidewalk a short distance to a walking bridge to the Marketplace section of Disney Springs. Also notice that the buses to all the resorts are located in this area. So it will be easy to get back to your resort after visiting Disney Springs. But, there is a good quick service at AK called Flametree Barbeque. Not such good choices at HS.

Yes I did thanks! I'm going to edit my post to avoid confusion!

I can't say for sure. The Swan/Dolphin is closer to DHS than Boardwalk ... But I've never taken the bus from Boardwalk, so I don't know if the bus stop itself is closer ....

Once we get off at Saratoga Springs Resort, is there signs to show how to get to the Disney Springs? Thank you

Unsure about signs.....think of it like this....facing forward while getting off the bus, find a way to get on the other side of those congress park buildings and go left down the sidewalk along the waterfront overlooking Disney Springs. The walking bridge to the marketplace is just up ahead. Very Easy. Just follow the directions I gave above. I suggested going left around the last building on the left because you should avoid the center court pool area out of courtesy to guests of Congress Park, and it's not any quicker. There is a sidewalk on the left around that last building on the left.
