Walt Disney World truly is a world of its own. With so much to explore, it can be challenging to decide how to get around. Luckily, Magic Kingdom offers free transportation to help you get from one exciting destination to another. Our Frog Family is always looking for ways to maximize time and savings. Using Magic Kingdom's free transportation is frogtastic, especially if you want an efficient and cost-effective way to get around.
For those driving, you'll park at Magic Kingdom parking and then head to the Transportation and Ticket Center. (Rest your froggy legs by taking the parking tram from your car to the "TTC"). From there, you'll take either the monorail or ferry to the Magic Kingdom entrance.
Whether you prefer buses, monorails or ferries, Magic Kingdom has something to get you to every place. Here is an overview of Magic Kingdom's free transportation options!
Our Guide to Magic Kingdom Transportation
You can get between almost any two points within Walt Disney World using a variety of free transportation options, especially if you're staying on-site at a Disney Resort hotel. Even if you're staying off-site, you can utilize the complimentary buses, monorails and more to hop from park to park.

A note about resort ferries: For Disney World Resort hotels offering a water taxi to Magic Kingdom, bus service may not be regularly available. For example, we've seen buses made available at Fort Wilderness during inclement weather or during busy times, though generally, bus service is not available.
