Unlike the Disney-owned and operated resorts (like the Contemporary or Grand Floridian), the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin resorts are managed by Marriott and use a third-party bus service. Because of this, their buses do not have access to the primary bus loops located directly at the entrance of the Magic Kingdom. Instead, the Swan and Dolphin buses drop passengers off at the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC). Once you arrive at the TTC, you must transfer to either the Express Monorail or the Ferryboat to reach the Magic Kingdom entrance. This adds approximately 15 to 20 minutes to your commute, which is a vital factor to consider if you are trying to make a "rope drop" or an early dining reservation. A popular "pro-tip" to bypass this is to walk or take a boat from the Swan and Dolphin to Disney's BoardWalk Inn or the Yacht & Beach Club and then use the Disney-operated bus from there, as those buses do drop off at the front gates of the Magic Kingdom. Alternatively, taking a rideshare like Uber or Lyft to the Contemporary Resort and walking the rest of the way is another common strategy to save time.
