There’s FREE transportation in Disney World, but it can be complicated to navigate!


Old Key West Boat Dock


With everything from the Monorail and Skyliner to boats and buses, there’s a veritable web of transportation options criss-crossing Disney World. If you’re staying on Disney property, you’ll likely have one or two at your disposal at your resort. But right now, there’s a big transportation change at Old Key West.



Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

Disney’s Old Key West Resort is currently not offering the Sassagoula River Cruise to Disney Springs. The boat transportation at that resort is closed for refurbishment as of July 20th through early August. We stopped by the Disney Springs boat dock to see a sign posted notifying guests of the closure.


The sign


Typically, this dock at Disney Springs offers boat routes to Saratoga Springs Resort, Old Key West Resort, Port Orleans Resort — Riverside, and Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter. Currently, the other three are still operating, weather-permitting. However, it’s important to note that Disney recently made a change to boat transportation at Disney Springs where you can only board these boats if you have a Disney Resort reservation or a dining reservation.


The dock


To get to Old Key West from Disney Springs during this closure, your best option is to take the bus from the main bus depot next to Orange Garage and the Coca-Cola store. You will also have to show proof of a hotel or dining reservation to board the buses.


The new bus rule


This isn’t the only refurbishment going on at Old Key West right now — the Hospitality House is getting some exterior work done and the Lake Buena Vista Golf Course is being updated a bit as well. So if you’re staying at Old Key West this summer, be prepared to see and hear construction during daytime hours.
