Just buses unless you use your own transportation. When we stayed at Kidani, it took about 13 minutes to get yo Epcot. DHS would be a bit less, AK a lot less, MK a bit more than Epcot.how long does it take to get back and forth to this parks from

How long is the wait for a bus?
You use the Lyft mobile app to request and pay for the Minnie Vans.What about the minivans?
How do they work?
the bus from AK to Jambo is about 5 minutes, to Kidani might be 10 minutes.
Either way, the longest time is usually waiting for a bus at AK. The ride itself is very short.

I have said it before, and I'll say it again, and defend it against anyone who thinks they can challenge it: Overall, travel times from Animal Kingdom to the rest of the park ON AN AVERAGE is as good as from any other resort, and better than from most resorts.
Look at this 'Travel Time Wizard' http://www.ourlaughingplace.com/aspx/twiz.aspx
Punch in a few destinations. At the time that I am writing this, at 1:30 PM Eastern Time on a Wednesday, travel time from AKL to Magic Kingdom is 21 minutes. I have timed it myself, and I find the Wizard to usually be pretty accurate. AND, I think it seems to adjust longer and shorter depending on the time of day and traffic.
Why is travel time good from AKL? Because Disney is aware of the 'Perception' that it is too far out. They have a lot of good, dedicated buses, just for AKL. The buses usually only have to make 3 stops. One stop is at Kidani. One stop is at Jambo. And the third stop is at the park. Very few of the other DVC resorts and Moderate resorts are so lucky. From almost all of them, the buses make multiple stops, either within the resort (OKW, SSR, Caribbean Beach, Coronado Springs) or they stop at multiple other locations, such as other hotels (buses from Poly and Grand Floridian, and then most of the buses in the Boardwalk/Crescent Lake area. Travel time to and from almost all resorts IS NOT MOSTLY ROAD TIME. It is BUS STOP TIME, including pulling into the bus stop areas and loading and unloading. And the Monorail, though popular is one of the SLOWEST ways to get around Disney World.
Anyway, figure 10 minutes to Animal Kingdom park (actually less). 15 Minutes to HS and Epcot (usually less) and 20 to 25 minutes to Magic Kingdom. MOST OF THE TIME.
