Flamingo Crossing Hotel to Parks Shuttle Experience

[SavMerk]

We are considering a stay at the TownePlace Suites or the Residence Inn at Flamingo Crossing over spring break 3/15/26 - 3/22/26. Does anyone have experience with using the shuttles from the hotel to the parks? Is it crazy to even consider this over a busy time like spring break? To add to the mix we are traveling with a 2 year old + 3 adults. Thanks!

Shuttles over there typically are limited and not free. I would check your resort to find out exactly what they offer. I would also check closer to your trip as the policies and schedules might change.

You may find the hours don't fit your schedule or they cost the same or similar to ride-sharing, but lock you in to certain times. You are paying $300 a day for park tickets or more and don't want to miss time because of a bad shuttle schedule.

With a 2-year-old I would rent a car. I would be hauling a stroller and snacks and would want the storage and freedom to go whenever and where ever I want. You never know when you might have to bail with a young one.

There are a lot of ways to save money on a Disney trip, but my 2 cents making sure that the transportation works when you need it is worth paying for.

Thank you! I will definitely call about their hours and associated cost. I’ll also re-evaluate staying on property.

The big deterrent for staying on property for this vacation is that one adult is only staying for half of the week which makes buying tickets and a room(s) to fit us much more expensive.

If you are all staying in the same room, book room only, not a package. The. You can buy tickets you need for each person separately. I would probably add the third adult for the whole room stay, so you can book Lightning Lanes at the same time for all of you. You will pay a small daily upcharge on the room for the third adult.
