While Disney World certainly benefits from the “blessing of size,” as Walt Disney famously put it, the size of the property can certainly make getting around a pain. After all, Disney World’s land mass is literally the size of San Francisco, and that means that it can take you a WHILE to hop from one place to another, whether you’re heading to the parks, hotels, Disney Springs, or anywhere else using Disney’s transportation infrastructure.
Everyone on?
Of Disney’s transportation options, bus transportation is often the simplest solution to getting around the parks, but just sitting around and waiting for those buses is a nuisance! Good thing we’ve got a hack to help you improve that wait!
Did you know you can TRACK your Disney World bus on the Google Maps app? To start, you’ll need to put your starting location and final destination in the app, then select the “public transportation” tab. Here, it’ll tell you how long the path will take.

From there, click on the route you’re interested in to get a full breakdown of what the trip will be like. Since we just selected Saratoga Springs as our initial location, the app made sure to include the walk to the bus stop from the main building.

If you select the bus option from that last screen, it’ll take you to a bus schedule tab! This shows when the Disney buses are expected to arrive at the bus stop throughout the day. Very handy! It looks like the buses were set to come about every 25 minutes for our route.

But the REAL kicker is that when you click on the bus you want to ride, the app will track it for you! Ours gave us a full schedule of all the places the bus stops and what time it will reach those spots. This is particularly helpful at resorts like Saratoga Springs, where there’s an internal bus loop, and you want to see the route it takes.

Just think how well you could plan your day by using this tool! Want to grab a snack or use the bathroom before the bus arrives? Now you know if you have the time! There are so many different ways you could apply this hack to your travels, so don’t forget to download Google Maps before your trip. Stay tuned to Magical Guides for more updates and tips on how to navigate Disney World. We’ve got you covered!
