Discover all you need to know about the entrances to the parks and major attractions at Disney World Orlando, their tolls, parking locations, and ways to reach.

How many entrances are there at Disney World Orlando

The primary entrance to Walt Disney World Resort complex, home to all the theme parks and attractions within, is the World Drive entrance. There are many alternate routes from Bay Lake, Lake Buena Vista, and Kissimmee that lead to the water parks, Disney Springs, resorts, and other attractions in the area.

Each theme park, resort, and attraction has its own designated entrance, with multiple parking lots nearby, along with Disney World’s own transportation options available, making traveling within Disney Orlando easy and convenient.

Navigating around Walt Disney World Orlando’s parks and attractions

You can use the multiple transportation options available at Disney World Orlando to move between theme parks, water parks, resort hotels, and entrance areas without needing your own car. Here’s a clear, route-focused overview of what each option connects and how it helps with park-to-park navigation.

  • Disney Bus:
    Connects all theme parks, water parks, Disney Resort hotels, and Disney Springs through a continuous shuttle system.
    This is the most widely available transport mode and the primary way to travel between parks and water parks when no direct rail, gondola, or boat link exists.
    Bus loops are located outside each park’s main entrance, making transfers straightforward between parks and resorts.
  • Disney Skyliner:
    Connects EPCOT (International Gateway entrance) and Disney’s Hollywood Studios with select nearby Disney Resort hotels.
    Provides one of the fastest resort-to-park and park-to-park (EPCOT ↔ Hollywood Studios) connections where available.
    Operates continuously with cabins that slow or stop for accessible boarding.
  • Ferryboat and water transport services:
    Ferryboats operate on select lagoon and lake routes between park entrances and nearby transport hubs or resorts.
    Commonly used for entrance-area transfers (between transport hubs and park gates) and for reaching certain resort hotels from nearby parks.
    Boat launches and ferries offer a scenic alternative to buses, whereas waterways connect parks and resort areas.
  • Parking Trams:
    Operate between theme park parking lots and main entrance plazas.
    Help guests move quickly from distant parking rows to security and ticketing zones.
    Available at all major theme park parking areas.
    This service is particularly helpful for guests with strollers or mobility devices.
  • Minnie Van:
    Provides direct, point-to-point rides between theme parks, water parks, resort hotels, and entertainment areas.
    Useful for faster park-to-park or park-to-water-park transfers without waiting for scheduled buses or indirect routes.
    Requested via app, with pickup/drop-off points near park transport zones.

Accessibility features across Disney transportation services:

  • Wheelchair and ECV boarding
  • Cast Member assistance
  • Marked priority seating areas
  • Visual and audio stop announcements
  • Service animals permitted on approved transport modes
