Transportation from Art of Animation to Magic Kingdom

[hdnyc]

Hi - I will be staying at Art of Animation in two weeks and want to get to MK at least 45 min before it opens. I read online that the buses start running regularly at 8am and take 30-45 min to get to the MK - is that correct? Do the buses stop at other resorts along the way? Do the buses run before 8am when the park opens at 9, or before 7am when the park opens at 8am?

Additionally, what is the fastest way to get door-to-door from Art of Animation to turnstiles at MK - bus, Uber, or driving your own car? Thanks!

The buses run before 8am and do not make any additional stops. Uber would be faster than your car but will drop you off at TTC where you will have to take the monorail or ferry to MK. Bus drops off just outside MK gates but you may have to wait for a bus for 20min. You never know when the bus will arrive.

Busses start 1 hour before park opening. It's a 20-25 minute ride. No stops along the way. I think the buses are the fastest way. If you drive you have to go to the ticket and transportation center and then take the ferry or monorail.

Buses start running at 6:30a daily. Your bus will be direct to MK without any stops. Uber or driving would most likely be faster than the buses but I'm not too sure on that since you have to park at TTC and then monorail over or take the ferry over...whereas the buses drop you right off at the front near the gates.

These are all very helpful, thanks!

@hdnyc This question may be better posted on the Transportation Forum here on the DIS rather than the Resorts Forum.

Leave yourself plenty of time and take the bus. It's easy. No stops along the way.

This is not correct. Buses start running at about 6:30 AM.

"First Bus" for Magic Kingdom is "usually" between 6:00 AM and 6:30 AM.
