Is there a shuttle between Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios?

Did you know that Disney World provides FREE bus transportation from Animal Kingdom Lodge to Hollywood Studios? And the best part is that the bus stop is right outside the entrance at both Jambo House and Kidani Village. Just take a left when you walk outside and follow the walkway to the bus stop.



Yes, Walt Disney World provides direct bus service between Disney's Animal Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios. These "Park-to-Park" buses typically begin running in the early afternoon, usually around 1:30 PM, to coincide with the start of Park Hopping hours. The bus stops are located in the main transport hubs outside the entrance of each park. It is important to note that unlike the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, which are connected by the Monorail, or EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, which are connected by the Skyliner and Friendship Boats, the only free Disney transportation between Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios is the bus. The ride takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic. If you are in a rush and don't want to wait for the bus, a "Minnie Van" (via Lyft) is a faster, albeit paid, alternative.

Hollywood Studios is not directly accessible by the Walt Disney World Monorail. Conceivably, a guest could take the Monorail from the TTC to EPCOT, walk across the park to the International Gateway, then either walk or take a Friendship Boat to the Studios, though this would take a long time.

Because the parking lot for Magic Kingdom is actually about a mile away at the Transportation and Ticket Center, it is usually faster to use Disney's transportation. Guests that drive and park must first hop on the monorail or ferry in order to get to the front gates of Magic Kingdom.
