Does Swan Reserve have transportation?

Yes, Walt Disney World provides complimentary, scheduled transportation from the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin and Walt Disney World Swan Reserve throughout the Walt Disney World® Resort.



Yes, the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve provides comprehensive and complimentary transportation to all Disney theme parks, water parks, and Disney Springs. As part of the Marriott-operated Swan and Dolphin complex, guests have access to a variety of "magic" transit options. For EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, guests can take a scenic FriendShip Boat water taxi or enjoy a short, paved 15-minute walking path that leads directly to the International Gateway or the park entrance. For the Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the resort provides frequent shuttle bus service. It is important to note that the Swan Reserve buses drop guests at the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) for Magic Kingdom, rather than the front gate used by Disney-owned resorts, meaning an extra monorail or ferry ride is required. In 2026, guests can track bus and boat arrival times in real-time using the Marriott or Disney apps, making the Swan Reserve one of the most conveniently located "non-Disney" properties for those who want to avoid the cost and hassle of daily parking.
