How do you get to Walt Disney World?
Getting to Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World is in Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake, south-west of Orlando in Florida. From Orlando International Airport (MCO) it takes about half an hour to get there. From Europe you fly to Orlando and continue by hire car, taxi or transfer. Read more about this on the page From Orlando airport (MCO) to Disney.
By car
If you're staying outside the resort, a hire car is handy. At the four theme parks you pay for parking: $ 35 per day for standard parking, or $ 50 to $ 60 for Preferred Parking closer to the entrance (as of November 2026). With one parking pass you can park at all four theme parks that day.
Parking is free at the water parks and Disney Springs. Disney hotel guests also park free at the theme parks.
Magic Kingdom
For Magic Kingdom, you park at the Transportation and Ticket Center. From there you take the monorail or the ferryboat to the entrance.
Trams
Free trams run from the large car parks to the park entrance.
Taxi or Minnie Van
You can also take a taxi, Lyft or Minnie Van. You book Minnie Vans through the Lyft app.
As a hotel guest
If you're staying at a Disney hotel, you don't need a car on the resort. Free buses run to all the theme parks, the water parks and Disney Springs, from 45 minutes before opening until an hour after closing. Many hotels also have a boat, the monorail or the Disney Skyliner. Read more on the page Transport within Walt Disney World.
