Doubletree Suites Disney Springs Transportation

How is the transportation at the Doubletree in DS?

They are part of the Disney Springs Bus Transportation System, and would be your best shuttle option other than Disney's.

This information is likely still accurate ...


Here is the official transportation flyer given to guests staying at the seven Disney Springs Hotels. This covers the following hotels:

• B Resort and Spa: http://www.bhotelsandresorts.com/b-resort-and-spa/
• Best Western Lake Buena Vista: https://www.bestwestern.com/en_US/b...y-springs-resort-area/propertyCode.10288.html

Shuttles leave every 30 minutes all day long at designated times. The shuttles are run by Mears Transportation, which has been a Disney partner for decades. (They run Disney's Magical Express service.)

Updated Information (Added August 15, 2018)
Each shuttle runs to two different parks. In the past, those two parks have been consistent:
  • One bus to Epcot, then Disney's Hollywood Studios.
  • Another bus to the Transportation and Ticket Center (transfer to monorail/ferry for Magic Kingdom), then Disney's Animal Kingdom.

In Summer 2018, a different combination seems to be happening:
  • One bus to Disney's Animal Kingom, then Epcot.
  • Another bus to the Transportation and Ticket Center (transfer to monorail/ferry for Magic Kingdom), then Disney's Hollywood Studios.

During a trip in August 2018, I was told by one bus driver that this change was permanent. A second bus driver said the park combinations change based on hours of operation and other factors. To state the obvious: Look at the electronic signs on the buses to make sure you get on the correct one.
(End of Updated Information)

Although each bus stops at multiple hotels, these stops usually only take 2-3 minutes each. The exception would be if there are wheelchairs or ECVs to load/unload. All of these hotels are literally next to each other. In some cases, it only takes 1 minute to go from one hotel to the next.

Note: Although the current flyers do not mention Extra Magic Hours, the buses begin running 60 minutes prior to any scheduled morning times and continue for 90 minutes past any scheduled evening times.
