Q: What are the three best parks at Disney World? A: The three best Disney World parks are: #1 – Magic Kingdom, #2 – EPCOT, #3 – Animal Kingdom. Unfortunately, Hollywood Studios comes in at fourth on our list because it is very busy with long lines and better suited for teens.

The only option for getting from Animal Kingdom to EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, or Magic Kingdom is to use a Disney bus. Animal Kingdom is a little further out from the rest of the parks, so it's not connected to the others via the Monorail, Skyliner, or boats.
Once you are on the bus, the ride usually takes around 15-20 minutes, depending on traffic. Bus service to Epcot typically begins 45 minutes before the park opens and ends 1 hour after it closes. Once they start, the buses run continuously throughout the day.
