When it comes to deciding where to stay during a Disney World vacation, transportation to the resort’s four theme parks should always be a factor. Of course, Disney has its own massive transportation infrastructure, offering a system of buses, boats, Monorails, and Skyliner gondolas connecting their 30+ hotels with the parks. However, there are other options for those staying at a non-Disney-owned hotel.
The shuttle
This includes shuttle service provided to guests at the Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista, located in the Disney Springs Resort Area. However, there is one massive rule guests need to know about this transportation.
Unlike Disney World’s internal buses, guests staying at the Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista need to book their specific shuttle time slot beforehand. Fear not, however; we found reserving the shuttle pretty easy. Reservations are made on your phone through the Fabulous Buses service website. While they cost $14, a code from Wyndham gets you a free ride. Shuttles go to the parks on the hour, every hour, and every half hour back from the parks. So, how does the reservation system work? Step one: On the Fabulous Buses website, you’ll select the hotel…

… and voila, your shuttle trip is booked!

While needing to reserve a specific shuttle time may seem like an extra step, doing so provides a more structured experience than arriving at a Disney bus stop not knowing how long until the next bus arrives or how long the line is waiting for you. Of course, this also means you’ll need to be on time to make your reservation, admittedly a factor that doesn’t come into play when using a Disney bus.

If you’re considering staying at the Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista in the Disney Springs Resort Area, be aware that you’ll have to handle transportation just a wee bit differently than you may be used to. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney resort tips.
