True, this is a little easier said than done. Walt Disney World is huge, so even if you do stay in walking distance to one Disney Park, you will still have to have transportation to the other Parks if you're planning to visit them. The exception to this is if you stay at Disney's Boardwalk, then you can walk to both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios.

If staying within walking distance of Walt Disney World is just not feasible, alternatively you can opt to skip Disney's free transportation. A lot of time is wasted when relying on Disney's transportation, especially if you are taking midday breaks.

If you can manage getting up early while on vacation, rope dropping the Parks will get you inside before most people have even had their coffee. We recommend arriving anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour before Park opening to be some of the first guests inside.

The only exception to this is Disney's Skyliner, which usually has lower waits and is much faster than Disney's busses.
