Disney Ends Disney Springs Bus Checks as Wilderness Lodge Boats Pause April 13–May 1

The update reflects Disney's use of temporary rules to manage peak crowds, preserving bus capacity for hotel guests.

Overview

  • Disney restored normal bus access at Disney Springs on Monday after ending the Easter credential checkpoint.
  • During the restriction, guests had to show an active hotel stay, a dining reservation, or a recreation booking before boarding resort-bound buses.
  • The rule targeted a parking workaround, since theme-park parking costs $35 per day while Disney Springs parking is free and large numbers were filling resort buses.
  • Boat service at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge will be suspended April 13 through May 1 for dock maintenance, with boats scheduled to resume May 2.
  • Disney will run buses during the outage, and there is no direct Wilderness Lodge–Contemporary bus route so travelers must transfer at Magic Kingdom.
