Disney Springs bus service to Walt Disney World resort hotels now requires verification of your resort stay, dining reservation, or recreation activity.

Disney Springs overview

Cast Members at the Disney Springs bus loop are scanning MagicBands to confirm you have a valid reason to travel to resort hotels. You need one of the following to board:


An active resort hotel reservation
A confirmed dining reservation at the resort
A confirmed recreation activity, such as a boat cruise

Cast Members told us this temporary measure is in place during the busy Easter period. The restriction helps increase parking availability at Disney Springs discouraging people from leaving their car while going elsewhere on property.

Disney operated a similar verification process around New Years from Disney Springs.

If you don’t have a verified reservation, you won’t be able to board the bus from Disney Springs to resort hotels. The verification process happens before you board at the bus loop.

This change affects all resort hotel destinations from Disney Springs. Standard theme park transportation and other Disney transportation routes continue operating as usual.
