Are there Disney shuttles?

Shuttle Details: Depending on the time of day, the Magic Kingdom shuttle runs every 30 minutes, while the other theme parks run every 60 minutes. Trips are less frequent during the off-peak hours. The shuttle to Disney Springs only runs in the afternoon, evening, and nighttime.



Yes, both Walt Disney World and Disneyland utilize shuttle systems, though they serve different functions. At Walt Disney World in Florida, there is a massive fleet of free, air-conditioned buses that transport guests between all resort hotels, theme parks, water parks, and Disney Springs. In 2026, these are supplemented by the Monorail, Disney Skyliner gondolas, and water taxis. At Disneyland in California, the primary shuttle is the Toy Story Parking Lot shuttle, which provides free rides between the large lot and the main entrance plaza. While the Anaheim Resort Transportation (ART) system, which traditionally connected off-property hotels to the parks, is winding down some public operations in March 2026, Disneyland has confirmed that its official shuttles for the Disney-operated parking lots will continue to run. Many nearby "Good Neighbor" hotels also offer their own private shuttle services for a fee or as a guest perk.
