New Express Transportation: $19/day or $29/week-SERVICE ENDING AUGUST 23RD 2017

Okay, I think I've got my page running the schedule properly. You can see it here. Keep in mind this is an assumed schedule and will not update if the buses should go down for some reason like weather. The park hours are updated every hour to keep the schedule as accurate as possible. I've designed it to be able to be added to your phone's home screen so it runs more like an app. On iOS in Safari just click the share icon (middle of the bottom bar) then swipe to find the button that says "Add to Home Screen". I believe you can do something similar on Android, but I'm not familiar with it.

This is fantastic!!

We will be at BCV this next trip. I'm thinking we'll go to DHS taking the boat. We can get to Epcot without transportation, but then there is the hike to the front of the park. Sort of a toss up.

Bump.

Hoping this is available over Christmas. We are using 7 day hopper tickets, so this would be perfect.

Thanks for keeping the info up to date and this thread.

Oh, and thanks for the link Doug S.

Wow, very nice!!

Just used it today. Life and time saver. Only 8 on the bus, and my family was 4 of the 8. For $116, or around $7 a day, this was really a no brainer. Thanks for the website and all the help!

Question about this... we are staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge. I have been hearing nightmare stories about leaving Magic Kingdom at 10 when they close. Is it feasible to use this service to leave Magic Kingdom at close... take it to Animal Kingdom (which has the extra Magic hours every night) and then take regular transportation from Animal Kingdom to the hotel to get home?

No. If AK is in EMH, the buses will not be going there. They only operate during normal park hours. So if AK closes by 10pm, there would not be another bus taking guests inside after that time. (if that makes sense)

Just getting to AK and planned to buy back at the resort but ran out of time. I've read the whole thread but now in the moment I forget. Can i buy the transport in the park using a Disney gift card? TIA!

I believe you can at the GS office at the front of the park.

I was hoping you were here, lol. Great, thank you!

As AngieTN said, you can purchase at Guest Services. You can also purchase at any official ticket window. Unfortunately, the Express kiosk locations only accept credit cards - at least for now.

Thank you! I wasn't 100% about the ticket window. I was thinking you probably could but just couldn't remember.

Can we purchase the express transportation at our resort? We plan on using it the first day we are there.

I purchased mine at the front desk with the concierge at AKL.

We are here now. Used Express to get from DHS to Epcot. Including us there were 6 on the bus. Took less than 10 minutes! Great experience can't wait to use tomorrow.

So from reading the last few pages, it seems that express transportation does not run to a park during EMH, but how close to park closing do the buses run? Is there a 9:40 bus from HS after Fantasmic to get to AK when AK closes at 10 (but has EMH 10-12)?

 

[Gehrig1B]

Express transportation runs one bus after closing but only to parks that are still open with regular hours.

If you purchase at the resort, does the 7-day clock kick in that day or the first day you use it? I.e.-can we get it the evening of arrival or wait until the next morning?
