I just read somewhere that Disney will be offering something called Express Hopper Transportation. Says you can pay a small fee to utilize park hopping on special busses to eliminate having to waste so much time going between parks and stopping at multiple places.

I was wondering if anyone else read this and what the fee is?

I think this is what you're looking for

Express Transportation Option
Spend even more time enjoying all 4 theme parks! If you have Walt Disney World theme park tickets with the Park Hopper Option or a Walt Disney World annual pass, you can add Express Transportation—and pack even more fun into your day.

Breeze between all 4 theme parks with fast, nonstop service that drops you inside the main gates—closer to the magic—so you can start playing right away. We’ll take you directly to the drop-off location inside the theme park you want to visit next, with no waiting to reenter at the gate.

No matter which theme park you’re in, when you’re ready to enjoy any of the others, just make your way to our Express Transportation check-in location, where a Cast Member will escort you to your vehicle.

Express Transportation service:

  • departs approximately every 30 minutes.
  • is available each day from 10:00 AM until park closing.
  • travels directly between each of the theme parks—with no other stops along the way.
  • lets you off inside the main gate, so you’re in the middle of fun from the moment you arrive!
  • gives you unlimited transfers between all 4 theme parks—for as long as your Express Transportation ticket is valid

Ticket Pricing
Price per Guest (Ages 3+)
Single-day ticket: $19
Valid for date of purchase only
Multi-day ticket: $29
Valid for up to 7 consecutive days beginning on date of purchase

Do you think they'll keep this up with the "Minnie Vans"?

We used this service on our last trip, and it is wonderful! Getting to by-pass security and park entrance is a big time saver, and it is fun to get some "backstage" peeks as you travel around.

Plus, we had the most fun & friendly bus drivers. We'll be using again on our upcoming trip.

One note ... if you're buying it at the first "stop", you can't use a MB to pay. A credit card yes, but it can't be charged to the MB.

That's strange. Wonder why? Thanks for the warning.

I want to clarify my understanding of how this works........

To use this, you FIRST have to go thru security and into a park. THEN you can get the transport that keeps you "inside" the security sphere (as in, inside the parks). You can't get this transport directly from a resort on the way TO the first park of the day.

Is that correct?

best,

.............john

And I just read that Disney is ending this as of August 23rd. I'm actually rather bummed, I was planning on using it on my trip ... which starts August 23rd.

Just saw the same thing on one of the MJ ladies' FB page. The last day to purchase will be August 19th. Last usable day will be August 23rd.
