Take the bus marked for Disney Springs.
Take the bus marked for Animal Kingdom and transfer to the bus stop marked for Blizzard Beach.
Take the bus marked Disney Springs / Typhoon Lagoon.
* Check park hours as alternative routes may be required due to bus schedules.*
Transportation to other Disney Resort hotels for dining experiences such as Whispering Canyon or ‘Ohana, and for dinner shows like Spirit of Aloha and Hoop De Doo Review require an extra step or two. Bus service does not run between resorts, so travel to the nearest park and transfer to another bus is necessary. The recommended steps are below:
Take the bus to the Magic Kingdom, then take the Monorail or water taxi to your resort. Guests can also walk to the Contemporary Resort. |
Take a water taxi from the marina between Yacht Club & Beach Club or take the walkways between these resorts. |
Take the bus to Magic Kingdom, then take the water taxi to the Campground. Pioneer Hall is within walking distance. |
Take the bus to Magic Kingdom, then take either a bus or water taxi to Wilderness Lodge. |
Take the water taxi to Hollywood Studios and then transfer to the bus for the resort of your choice |
*Some transportation options may be affected by inclement weather so check with Cast Members for alternate options. *
Taxi Service – Mears Taxi is the preferred taxi service of Walt Disney World, and provides service to all locations within Walt Disney World, as well as off-property. They can be reached at (407) 699-9999.
Minnie Van Service – Minnie Vans are available to and from each resort, park, and Disney Springs for transportation to any Disney property location. See the tip page on Minnie Vans for more information.

Transportation Times Between Yacht Club Resort and Disney Destinations
Disney’s bus service is available to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the Magic Kingdom, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, as well as Disney Springs and the Disney water parks. Water launch transportation is available to the Epcot International Gateway entrance, to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and to the BoardWalk. The Beach Club, Boardwalk, and Epcot’s International Gateway entrance are within walking distance.
The bus stop is located to the left of the main lobby, as you exit the front of the building. Also, the water launch stop is on the dock as you exit the main lobby toward Crescent Lake.
These times are approximate and provided to give you an idea of average travel times. Please plan on up to a 20-minute wait for Disney transportation in addition to walking time to resort or theme park transportation stops.
Magic Kingdom – 19 minutes by bus, 35 minutes by car (with transfers) Epcot International Gate – 8 minutes walking, 18 minutes by boat, 16 minutes by car (to front gate) Disney’s Hollywood Studios – 20 minutes walking, 18 minutes by boat Disney’s Animal Kingdom – 24 minutes by bus, 19 minutes by car Disney Springs – 20 minutes by bus, 11 minutes by car Blizzard Beach water park –22 minutes by bus, 14 minutes by car Typhoon Lagoon water park – 20 minutes by bus, 9 minutes by car
While not an on-site child care facility, however, Kid’s Nite Out, in-room child care, is available at all resorts for children 6 months to 12 years old. Reservations may begin as early as 6:30 a.m. and/or may begin as late as 11:00 p.m., Services are available 24/7.
The Walt Disney World Dolphin will still offer a Children’s Activity Center option and you do not have to be a guest at that resort to use the Children’s Activity Center. Camp Dolphin
While room requests are not guaranteed , at the Yacht Club ask to be closest to the lobby to limit the amount of walking needed to the pool area and transportation to the Theme Parks.
The Yacht Club has a beautiful wedding gazebo in its gardens. From the balconies of some of the Garden View and Water View rooms, you can overlook this area and glimpse a Disney wedding.
At Disney’s Yacht Club Resort , all rooms have a full balcony or patio.
Enjoy the close proximity to Epcot’s World Showcase . While there is a boat launch available at Epcot, you can get there faster by walking.
You can access Disney’s Hollywood Studios by boat. You may also enjoy a brisk walk around the BoardWalk down to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. In general, you may find the boat ride shorter than walking to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
These resorts offer one of the best pools on Walt Disney World property. While separate, the Yacht & Beach Club Resorts share the pool area. There is a “shipwreck” that offers the entry point to the main water slide. Some areas of the pool have a sandy bottom.
These resort hotels are located near the BoardWalk, offering a short walk to additional restaurants and nightlife that do not require park admission.
Sometimes Disney’s bus transportation may share buses with the other resort hotels in the Epcot area around the BoardWalk. If you find yourself stopping at multiple stops, you may want to get off at the first stop and just walk the rest of the way. This is sometimes quicker than stopping at each resort hotel if the bus loop is being shared with multiple resorts.

Rooms at Yacht Club are lovely. The laminate floors are not noisy at all (if we had neighbors above us, we never heard them). Soundproofing on the balcony is good. Lots of USB ports.

Dining isn't a strength at Yacht Club, but tons of options are short walk away at EPCOT or the four other resorts.
Ale & Compass Restaurant The cuisine is advertised as “New England comfort food.” Reader ratings have improved substantially over the years, without compromising the diversity of the menu.
Yachtsman Steakhouse Open for dinner only, Yachtsman Steakhouse serves up steak, seafood, and sides. This is a signature restaurant that tries to create an atmosphere, so expect high prices and to adhere to a minimal dress code.
Market at Ale and Compass A small spot carved out of the gift shop, the Market has coffee, pastries, and other small items.
Ale and Compass Lounge Ale & Compass is a competent restaurant, the kind of place you'll be happy to find at dinnertime if it's raining and you don't want to go outside; or everyone is starving and you need to eat right now. Ale and Compass is a better choice for breakfast. You'll find something for everyone in various combinations of eggs, potatoes, bacon, tofu, French toast, and so on, with a la carte options if you just want a quick bite.
Crew's Cup Lounge The Crew’s Cup Lounge is one of the better bars in Walt Disney World, although the reason for that statement is hard to explain. The entire room just feels...well, cool. It starts when you approach the door, which is found in the Yacht Club’s hallway, heading towards the Beach Club Resort. One of the things that makes Crew’s Cup cool is the understated sign hanging in the hall, a few steps up, as well as a plain door. The facade is easily overshadowed by the Yachtsman Steakhouse, but that secret, speakeasy style entry makes it a little hard to find, and we all know that the coolest places don’t need to advertise. Walking in you immediately notice the theme, which is rowing, but are not overwhelmed by it. There are a few images of rowers here and there and a few oars along the walls, but it is mostly just a quaint, slightly dark, overwhelmingly wood-paneled lounge. The rowing theme obviously fits in with the Yacht Club Resort and the Crew’s Cup looks as if it would be a place that a crew team would hang out after practice. While many Americans do not think of crew or rowing as major sports, it certainly has a long history in the United States. It began as soon as the English landed, having been popular there several centuries prior. Yale University boast the oldest American college crew club, started in 1843, and the Harvard versus Yale regatta is the oldest intercollegiate sport in the U.S. It is so old in fact (started in 1852), that it had to be paused during the American Civil War! The entire Crew’s Cup Lounge hints toward this history. The shell (or boat to you landlubbers) hanging from the ceiling is a common place for storage when there are no racks. The oars along the walls are each painted differently, which is how a team identifies itself (although these oars match no teams that we could find). Even just the exposed rafters and craftsman touches point toward a New England style around the year 1900. For those interested in what goes on in a kitchen, there is a window that looks into a section of the Yachtsman Steakhouse’s back of house. Often during dinner time you will see a prep chef getting ready for the mealtime rush. Once you decide to have a seat, there are a few different options, with seats at the bar, a handful of booths, a few tables and chairs, and also a few couches. Whether you are there for dinner, relaxation, or to watch the television, you will find a seat to match. Speaking of dinner, there is both food and drink aplenty, although the drink list is our one big knock on The Crew’s Cup as it follows the standard Disney drink menu. The food here is above average and consists of hearty appetizers, burgers, and chicken tenders. Nothing fancy, but good quality and decently priced (for Walt Disney World). The Crew’s Cup Lounge is not often mentioned as a favorite spot, and we will hope it stays that way because that just means more room for us. After all, if everyone knows it might stop being so cool.
Fittings & Farings Fittings & Farings is Yacht Club's souvenir shop. A small selection of snacks, drinks, and other groceries are available.
Refillable Mugs Allows guest self-service soft drink refills from quick-service locations in hotels ( NOT in theme parks ) for $21.99 for the length of stay.
SWIPE TO EXPLORE
Yacht Club has Disney World's best pool - Stormalong Bay with a lazy river, fabulous water slide, and acres of water fun. Three other pools are available across Yacht Club and Beach Club resorts, for use by both Beach and Yacht Club guests.
Lafferty Place Arcade arcade is near Stormalong Bay between the Yacht and Beach resorts. It features relatively recent video games of all kinds.
Free Disney Movies Under the Stars are shown most evenings, weather-permitting, either at the Beach Club Beach, or in the Solarium.
The Ship Shape Fitness Center has weights, treadmills, and other equipment for your workout. Hours are typically 6 AM to 9 PM. Joggers will enjoy the 0.8-mile loop around Crescent Lake too.
The Beach Club Beach hosts marshmallow roasts around 5:30 PM nightly. It's really great during the cooler months of the year.
Disney resort guests get into each theme park 30 minutes earlier than off-site guests, every day.
Those staying at Disney's Deluxe and Deluxe Villa hotels can buy Lightning Lane via Individual Purchase at 7:00 a.m. each day. Others cannot make that purchase until the official park opening time.
Disney's Deluxe and DVC resort guests get two extra hours in select theme parks on certain days of the week. The schedule changes, so check with the front desk.
Practical Matters
Check-in is 4:00pm Check-out is 11:00am
All Disney resorts participate in Disney’s Online Check-In program. If you’ve checked-in online and provided a mobile phone number or email address, you will receive your room number electronically. Then you can go straight to the room and use your smart phone or MagicBand to open the door, skipping the lobby altogether.
These rubber and plastic wrist bands can function as your room key, park admission, charge card, and more! MagicBands cost money, but if you'd like a free option you can use the official Disney World app on your phone or request an RFID-embedded card at the front desk.
Park tickets are best purchased online in advance either directly through Disney or via our Least Expensive Ticket Calculator . However, if you arrive without park tickets, head to the concierge desk in the hotel lobby.
Dining reservation are best made online in advance or on your phone or tablet during your visit. You can also use our Disney World Reservation Finder .
Washers and dryers are availabile in laundry facilities at each Disney World hotel. Cost is $3 per wash, and another $3 per dry cycle. A small selection of soap, fabric softener, and dryer sheets are also sold, for around $1 each. Only credit/debit cards can be used for payment. For more information, see our Disney World Laundry Facilities page.
If you lose something in a theme park or during your stay at a Disney-operated hotel, visit Disney's Lost and Found website or call (407) 824-4245.
Disney hotels have gifts shops near their lobbies with a decent collection of Disney-branded souvenirs. You will also find basic pharmacy items such as sunscreen, aspirin, allergy and cold medicine, baby diapers and formula, shampoo, and the like. Resort hotels with Deluxe Villa rooms offer an assortment of groceries, as well.
Disney recommends a third party company, Kid's Nite Out , to provide babysitting services at the resort hotels. See our Disney World Child Care page for more information.
The Yacht Club is located in the EPCOT Resort Area. All modern GPS apps, and Google Maps, will have clear driving directions to it. As a backup, look for Disney road signs directing you toward the EPCOT resorts (not EPCOT) once you're on property, and then look for signs for the Yacht Club once you're close.

Disney Skyliner gondola system has a station at EPCOT's International Gateway entrance. The ride to Hollywood Studios is about 12 minutes (plus waiting time in line).
Disney provides free bus service to the Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, and Disney Springs from the bus stop at the front of the resort. Buses run about every 20 minutes. For all destinations except the Magic Kingdom, it's probably faster to drive or walk.
If you have your own car , it's faster to drive yourself to Disney's Animal Kingdom, the Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach water parks, and Disney Springs. Disney's transportation system is faster to the Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney's Hollywood Studios.
EPCOT is a short walk from the Yacht Club, and the walk to Hollywood Studios is just a little longer.
Disney provides free boat service to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios from the resort.
You can walk between the Beach Club, Yacht Club, BoardWalk, Swan, Swan Reserve, and Dolphin. Boat service is available to all of those, too, except the Swan Reserve. The Skyliner at EPCOT's International Gateway can take you to Caribbean Beach, Riviera, Pop Century, and Art of Animation. For all other resort destinations, the fastest option is an Uber, Lyft, or taxi. Disney's bus service is free but slow, and will probably require you to use an intermediate destination like Disney Springs, to get to your destination. And that can take a couple of hours each way if you're unluckly.
if you have a car, the easiest way to get to Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, and other tourist destinations is to drive. Alternatively, Mears Transportation operates shuttle services between the Disney hotels and other theme parks.

Like Disney's Beach Club Resort , Disney's Yacht Club Resort has the distinct advantage of its close proximity to Epcot . A short ten-minute walk is all that it takes to get to the International Gateway entrance of the World Showcase at Epcot ®. For guests who arrive at this entrance prior to the World Showcase official opening time of 11:00 a.m., there will be Cast Members to escort guests to Future World. Buses and Friendship launches will take guests to other Walt Disney World® Resort destinations.
For those wishing to go anywhere else on (or off) property, Bell Services can get a taxi for you. The bus stop at Disney's Yacht Club Resort is located to the left as you exit the lobby, on the other side of the porte cochere (valet loading and unloading area).

Plan Your Dream Trip To Disney!
February 1, 2020 // by Sarah Etinas // 2 Comments
Searching for a clear, yet comprehensive guide to Disney transportation? We’ve got you covered! This guide covers exactly how to travel around Disney using Disney World transportation.
When most visitors come to Disney World for the first time, they don’t understand the Disney transportation system, and their trip becomes a whole lot harder than it needs to be. To be fair, at first glance, the Disney transportation system looks quite confusing. Between the buses and the monorails and the boats and the Skyliner, it can seem overwhelming. But don’t be afraid! This guide is here to break it down for you.
Get a FREE printable 30/60/90 day Disney countdown by joining our private Disney Facebook Group and share your photos and ask for tips and tricks!
Disney transportation can seem very complicated and confusing, but we’re here to make it as easy as possible for you! There are many perks to the Disney transportation system, as, if you use it properly, you can get just about anywhere in the Walt Disney World Resort area for free.
The Disney World transportation network consists of a myriad of transportation options, including buses, monorails, boats, and more! While that can seem a bit overwhelming, the easiest way to look at it is to figure out how to get from point A to point B, simply by referring to our Disney transportation guide below.
Bus transportation at disney.
While the Disney bus is the least exciting form of transportation on the property, it is also the most expansive. There are buses that go from every Disney resort to every theme park and waterpark, between theme parks, to Disney Springs, and even sometimes between resorts.
Because Disney resorts, parks, activities can be bustling from the early hours of the morning to the late hours of the night, the Disney bus schedule runs from 6:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. At peak hours of the day (which is typically just when the parks are open), Disney buses run every 20 minutes or so.
The Walt Disney World Resort has three different monorail lines: the Resort line, the Epcot line, and the Express line. The monorails start running 30 minutes before the earliest park opens and stop running one hour after the last park closes. All three of these monorail lines converge at the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC), the hub of Disney World transportation. In other words, if you can access a monorail, you can get easily get to any monorail stop on any line.
The Resort monorail line stops at the TTC, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and Magic Kingdom. If you want to skip all of the hotels, jump on the Express monorail line instead, as that line takes guests directly from the TTC to Magic Kingdom (and back). Lastly, the Epcot monorail line takes guests from the TTC to Epcot (and back), just as its name implies. If this seems a little confusing, having a Disney monorail map can help you visualize the routes a little bit better.
The newest form of Disney transportation is the Disney Skyliner. This whimsical gondola form of transportation also has three different lines: the Epcot line, the Hollywood Studios line, and the Disney’s Art of Animation Resort line. All of these three lines converge at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort.
The Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Skyliner line takes guests from Disney’s Art of Animation Resort and Disney’s Pop Century Resort to Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. The Hollywood Studios Skyliner line then takes guests from Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort to Hollywood Studios. As an alternative, the Epcot Skyliner line takes guests from Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort to Disney’s Riviera Resort and Epcot.
As if buses, monorails, and Skyliners weren’t enough, Disney Transportation also includes boats. There are several boat routes, all revolving around Magic Kingdom, Disney Springs, and Epcot. Disney boat transportation typically starts running 30 minutes before the first park opens and closes one hour after the last park closes.
First up, there are the Magic Kingdom boats. There are ferryboats that take guests between Magic Kingdom and the TTC. From there, you can hop on a monorail or a bus to just about anywhere in the Walt Disney World Resort. In addition to these ferry boats, there are four different flag-oriented boat routes. The Seven Seas Lagoon Gold Flag boat takes guests between Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. The Bay Lake Blue Flag boat transports riders between Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campgrounds. For a straight shot route from Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campgrounds to Magic Kingdom, hop on the Green Flag boat. Lastly, for a clear-cut route between Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and Magic Kingdom, take the Red Flag boat.
Because Disney Springs is open from 10 a.m. to 12 a.m., the boats that transport guests to, from, and around the area are open during the same hours. The Yellow Flag boat takes riders between Disney Springs, Disney’s Port Orleans – Riverside, and Disney’s Port Orleans – French Quarter. The Blue Flag boat takes guests between Disney Springs and Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. The Green Flag boat transports riders between Disney Springs and Disney’s Old Key West Resort. Lastly, the Red Flag boat transports guests within Disney Springs from the West Side dock to The Landing dock to the Marketplace dock.
Finally, there is a set of boats that takes guests in and around the Epcot area. First, there is a route that takes guests between Epcot, Disney’s Boardwalk Inn, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, and Disney’s Swan and Dolphin Resort. There is also another nearly identical route that makes all of these same stops, as well as a stop at Hollywood Studios. Lastly, there are a couple of Disney boat transportation options within Epcot, including between the Germany and Mexico pavilions and between the Morocco and Canada Pavilions.
Disney’s Minnie Van Service is one of the most unique Disney transportation options. It is essentially Lyft with a Disney twist. You’ll actually use the Lyft app to request a Minnie Van Service ride! There are a few differences between Lyft and the Minnie Van Service. First, instead of getting picked up in a regular old car, you’ll get picked up in a vehicle decked out just like Minnie: a red background and white polka dots. Another difference is that the Minnie Van Service costs quite a bit more than a normal Lyft. Lastly, unlike Lyft which can pick you up and drop you off practically anywhere, there are designated pick-up and drop-off locations for the Minnie Van Service.
Disney no longer offers free transportation to and from the Orlando International Airport (MCO), but there are lots of affordable and varied options to choose from. They make it easy to fly into the airport and get to your Disney Resort in a timely manner and without any stress.
Below you will find an extremely detailed Disney transportation map, including the routes for buses, monorails, Skyliner, water transportation, shuttles and more. This map of Disney transportation shows you exactly where each type of transportation goes and how many stops you’ll have to pause at before reading your final destination. This is a really fantastic printable Disney map to have with you during your visit as it is highly helpful!

The most straightforward way to go between Disney Resorts is by taking the easiest form of transportation from one resort to the closest theme park, and then taking another form of transportation from the theme park to the resort. As an alternative, you could always take an Uber, Lyft, or Minnie Van. While these aren’t free (as they aren’t provided by Disney), it’s much quicker than taking Disney transportation and should only cost you between $10 and $15.
I hope this Disney transportation guide helped to make all of the transportation options at Disney World a little bit more understandable. As always, I’ll be happy to answer any questions that you may have!

Trip Report: Animal Kingdom Lodge Vs. Yacht Club
Mouseketeer
My family has always stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge, but in our recent trip, we gave the Yacht Club a chance! Here is what I learned: - There are so many incredible resorts at DW! We loved both! - YC has a truly incredible pool (I mean, it has a beach sand bottom!) with so many options and different things for kids of all ages to do. We loved the proximity to multiple Signature Restaurants and the Boardwalk. We liked that our transportation was varied (boats and buses). - There is nothing like the feeling you get walking into the lobby at the Jambo House at AKL. Every trip it is a truly magical moment that takes our breath away. We love the view of the animals from the balcony of our rooms. We feel like we are at a park even when we are just relaxing in our room. We love the fact that our favorite QS (Mara), 1 credit TS (Boma), and Signature (Jiko) are all in the resort. We love how big the pool at Jambo is, it never seems crowded. - As much as our children loved the pool at YC, we equally missed the theming at AKL. In the end our family decided we prefer AKL (it was a close vote)! We decided that while we loved the pool and location at YC, we felt like AKL truly transported us to another place and whisked us away from reality. While YC was a really nice resort, we have stayed in other resorts similar on other vacations. AKL is a resort we can't experience anywhere else. - The time is takes to get to the parks is not that different. We have read so much about how far away AKL is from the parks and how that is a disadvantage. We learned that is not necessarily the case. We probably waited longer at YC than at AKL. Because AKL has its own buses, we never seem to wait, while we waited for long periods at YC. Also, we found trouble with transportation at YC when trying to go to Epcot and HS for morning breakfast reservations. We had breakfast reservations before rope drop and in both instances we were informed we had to pay for a cab because the boats don't start running to HS and Epcot until 30 minutes before the park opens. AKL has buses running early that we didn't have to pay for. - I once read a quote that said "Whichever resort you stay at your first Disney trip will probably be your favorite resort." Maybe that holds true and the feeling of "home" at AKL is tied to the first memories of Magic my family experienced. - Disney is awesome. We loved both the YC and the AKL. Just depends what is most important to you...the theming and resort itself, or the pool. For us, that's what it came down to, the transportation factor and dining experiences were a wash (equally awesome). What is your favorite resort? DIS VeteranGreat review, we are considering AKL for our next trip! We returned from Wilderness Lodge in November, we really loved it but feel we should give somewhere else a go.

Same hold true for HS first thing in the morning. Other than in the mid day heat of the day we walk to HS too. And we are mid 60's, so not spring chickens. Disney is awesome, I agree with you. The only resort I have stayed at that I didn't like was CBR. Just not for me. Thank You for the review. Click to expand... ChaoticsweetnessIt's kind of fun to do the impossible.. DVCMinnie2532akfan513 said: Thanks for your insight! With small children, we were told by the front desk that the walk to HS was too long. I can totally see the walk to Epcot being beautiful, but for my family with the ages of my children, we were looking for something easy to get to the parks that early in the morning. We knew we'd walk enough at the parks! That is a great thing about Disney, every family has different needs and wants and there are so many options, there is usually a solution for all types!
