Disney World will Continue to Offer Select Transportation Options During Closure

Transportation options will still be available during the coronavirus closure. Read on to see which options will be offered and which ones will close. Plus, we have offered some activities to try out if you are staying at Disney World during this time!

As we all hopefully know by now, Disney World will close its theme parks beginning March 16 and ending March 31. However, Disney World resorts and Disney Springs will remain open during this time.

While many guests are canceling, others are using this as an opportunity to have a resort-only vacation with some visits to the open areas of the Disney World property.

If you are one of the ones canceling, please read this article that outlines how Disney will handle refunds for tickets, room reservations, and prepaid dining options.

Because the resorts and Disney Springs will remain open, select transportation options will be available for guests to use during their stay. Note that not all options will be up and running during this time.

Here are the modes of transportation that will be available from March 16-31:

• Resort Monorail
• Buses connecting onsite resorts to Disney Springs
• Buses will start running between resorts. This is a great opportunity for guests to visit other resorts

Please note that the hours of operation may be adjusted depending on resources and demand.

Here are the modes of transportation that will not be available from March 16-31:

• Disney Skyliner
• Express Monorail connecting Magic Kingdom and the Ticket and Transportation Center
• Buses connecting onsite resorts to the theme parks
