Disney Transport
Encyclopedia : D : DI : DIS : Disney Transport
Disney Transport is the name given to the privately run transportation system at Walt Disney World. Most movements are made using buses that run along the public (maintained by the Reedy Creek Improvement District) and private roads of the resort. Other transportation is provided by the Walt Disney World Monorail System and ferry.
Except where monorail or ferry service exists, direct bus service is provided from every hotel to every attraction, and between attractions. This contrasts with most public transportation systems, which use a hub-and-spoke system. Disney's approach avoids transfers for most movements but leads to longer wait times (Disney guarantees no more than a 20 minute wait). No service is provided between Downtown Disney and other attractions (except Typhoon Lagoon, which is on the same route) because, when it was, people would park for free at Downtown Disney to avoid paying to park at the theme parks.
Disney Transport buses also take cast members (employees) around the resort; these buses are marked 'Special' or 'VIP Cast Member'.
Disney transport operates a fleet of TMC RTS, Nova Bus LFS, and Gillig Advantage bus models.
Other Disney-run transportation exists in the form of trams at the theme park parking lots, and railroads in the Magic Kingdom and Disney's Animal Kingdom.
