Disney has recently added the Disney Express Transportation option, which takes guests from park to park without having to return to your resort!
We had the opportunity to use the Disney Express Transportation system while making a recent video where we were trying to see as many characters as possible in a short period of time.

Disney Express Transportation Review
We really enjoyed the Disney Express Transportation option. The best part was that you do not have to re-enter the park by scanning your ticket and going through security. The Express bus takes guests into back stage areas and drops you off inside the park, so you get to skip ticket scan and security!
This will also be a great option when the parks get really busy and you find yourself waiting through 2 or 3 full busses before you get one with space for your family.
Sometimes, you do have to wait for a little bit, as the busses depart every 30 minutes from the parks. We did get to spend about 10 minutes on the bus in air conditioning, rather than waiting out in the Florida heat, though!
The Disney Express Transportation costs $15 per person per day or you can get a multi-day ticket good for 7 consecutive days for only $24 per person. That’s a great deal! Also, you don’t have to remember to buy your tickets at a ticket sales window or Guest Services. They sell the Express Transportation tickets at the check-in locations at all 4 parks.
The busses begin running every day at 10AM and continue through park closing. With your ticket purchase, you can ride the bus as many times as you like on that day (or for the 7 consecutive days with the multi-day ticket).
