Ok, first off, brunch at Olivia's is one of my favorite!! Great choice 💜 Secondly, there aren't any direct routes so this would be my suggestions: 1. Get a Minnie Van or Lyft. This option isn't free but will be the fastest, most direct route. 2. Take the Disney busses from All-Star Movies to Disney Springs, then transfer to the Old Key West Bus (or take the water Ferry) to get to Olivia's. This would probably be your best free option but I would just suggest to build in some extra time in your schedule to account for waiting to transfer transportation options. 3. If you happen to go to a theme park in the morning (or a theme park bus is coming to your resort faster than the Disney Springs bus), you can always take the Old Key West bus from any of the theme parks. I would definitely check with the resort while you are there and see when the buses plan to arrive compared to when you need to be at brunch. Disney Springs opens later than the theme parks so sometime those buses don't start running a little later. I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, just let me know. I'll be happy to help! 💜

I love this! The theming here is superb!!

Thanks for the feedback! This video is specifically about the transportation options offered by Disney. Independent resorts may offer additional transportation but this isn't provided by Disney and is why we didn't cover it in this video. But we would love to explore some of the Good Neighbor Hotels close to Disney in the future. If we do, we will be sure to make an additional video about transportation options that those hotels offer. 💜

The resort offers buses to Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. These will be the fastest and most direct route for you. Technically you could take the monorail, but it's going to take you an additional stop. The monorail doesn't connect to this resort sadly. But if you wanted to ride on the monorail, you could take the ferry to the Magic Kingdom and then transfer to the monorail and head towards Epcot. I don't think it would be the fastest option but definitely a more relaxing one imo 🩷

Thanks for adding this! All transportation is weather permitting technically but boats, the Skyliner, and the monorails will stop running if there is lightening in the area. 💜 I do go into more details about this in our blog post: www.magicalresortsguide.com/post/the-best-guide-to-disney-world-transportation

YES! All Disney resorts have a bus that goes to Disney Springs and the Disney water parks. Depending on the time of year, sometimes this is a shared bus and you will need to transfer buses at DS but your bus driver will be able to tell you that before getting on. We love both Disney Springs and Typhoon Lagoon (especially in the summer) so we use the buses to get there a lot!

I feel this every time we are back home!! 🩷

Amazing!!! I hope you had a wonderful trip!

I know! I love have functional they are but it would be really cool if the section theming continued in the room.

I agree, we really like this resort for a value resort option! These "issues" don't really bother us but we have heard from other people they were frustrating for them. But Pop is always a winner for us!

So exciting!! I hope you had a very magical trip!

That's awesome, yes they really did a top job with the theming here!

Thank you 🩷

Awe, thank you!! And that sounds amazing. I hope you love it as much as we did. ✨

From MCO, there are Mears busses that will take you to your Disney hotel for a fee. It will also take you back to the airport at the end of your trip.

Lyft or Uber 😂😂😂😂

I can't personally recommend a service bc we always drive to WDW. But I do know Mears runs a service, there are private companies that run specific Disney transfers, or you could pay for a Lyft. I would be hesitant to recommend one though since I haven't personally experienced it. I'm sorry I couldn't be more help!

Thank you so much!! 😊 Yes, it's such a gorgeous place!

Thank you so much! Thanks for watching and sharing with us. 🩷

That's always the struggle right!! We feel the same way 😜

We haven't! It's on our list to do but they do look MUCH nicer and I'm excited to give them a try!

Oh you're so welcome and that's so exciting!! I hope you have best trip!! 💜

Yes, definitely!! If it's a closer walk to one of the other All-Star resorts, you can jump on the bus there! Always save your legs when you can!! lol

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Yes, I always call about 2 weeks in advance and ask for the room request to be added to my reservation. They can't guarantee that you will get it but they always say they will try their best. 🩷 I have tried the fax/email method I have seen online but that didn't work was well for me. Calling has given me the best luck!

It's a splurge but so worth it! We really enjoyed our stay here. 💜

Thank you so much! We love making the videos and sharing our love for Disney. We took a little break to help some extended family with medical issues but we are excited to start posting here again this Fall! 💜

You're so welcome!! I hope you guys have the best time 💜

Omg, I bet that was such a fun experience. It's just so relaxing there!! 💜

@@MagicalResortsGuide It was the best! I love it there. I'm glad you guys had a wonderful time!

You can walk around the resort to check jt out.

It depends on how you get there honestly. Disney doesn't typically mind for you to tour the grounds but they do have a security gate at the front of the property. If you are coming from a theme park or Disney Springs by bus you won't have a problem getting directly to the resort. If you are driving or coming with a ride service, it will depend on the security officer and how busy the resort it at the time. If you are staying at another resort, I would suggest going to Disney Springs and then taking a bus over to take a look around. 💜

Thank you so much for your kind words!! That means so much! 💕

That’s awesome! Off the top of my head, I would say be sure to rent a golf cart for Fort Wilderness. It makes getting around so easy. If you want some down time from the parks be sure to check out the Tri Circle D Ranch to see the beautiful horses that work in the parks. You can walk around for free or pay for pony rides/carriage rides. And be sure to do the Chip-N-Dale Campfire Sing-A-Long. It happens most nights (weather permitting) and it’s so much fun. You can roast marshmallows, Chip-n-Dale come out for a little show and there is a movie under the stars afterwards. It’s a free event for resort guests (but you can purchase food there if you want). I hope you guys have a magical time!!

@@MagicalResortsGuide How many people fit in a golf cart? I have a family of 6

@@PONYOLIKESHAMMMM@PONYOLIKESHAMMMM They have the option to rent a 6-person or a 4-person cart! I would just call in advance to make sure you can reserve the size you need before you arrive :)

@@MagicalResortsGuide Alright Thanks so much will do!!

I think it depends on the time of year honestly. During big holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break) or Run Disney events these resorts have a lot of people and can be noisy. But during lower crowd times, they can be super quiet. I personally have never had trouble with noise in the room. We always book a preferred room and travel with a sound machine which cuts pretty much all noise. I also like to call and request a top floor room here. I don’t mind using the elevator and it eliminates noise from above. I really like the whimsy of these resorts but Chris likes to unplug from the crowds so these aren’t his personal favorite. If you are going during a slower time of year, I think they are a really good economical option. I hope this helps!

@@MagicalResortsGuide Thank you very much for your reply, I think we'll be staying there in October and on your advice we'll ask for a room on the 3rd floor ;)

@@paulinederouin-ey7pl That sounds awesome!! And I wouldn't think you would have too much trouble with noise in October. I hope you all have a magical time!

@@MagicalResortsGuide thanks you very much, you are so nice 😁

@@paulinederouin-ey7pl You're so welcome and thank you so much for your kind words!! That's means so much 💜

Woohoo 🎉 That sounds amazing!! So glad I could help. Have an amazing trip!

Oh yea!! 🎉 So glad I could help!

I can see that - especially during peak times. The deluxe are very pricey. We always try to stay during the "off-season" and take advantage of the discounts Disney offers when we can. But honestly, the best bang is the value resorts with a dining reservation at the deluxe. That way you can get a little taste of luxe but go home with a happy wallet! lol

Yes!! The Disney busses run to all four theme parks, Disney Springs, and the water parks from ASM. The busses are located at the front of the resort and you can find departure times in your My Disney Experience app.

We love it!! 💕 It’s so relaxing!

At this resort, sadly no! They are very strict here, monitor the entrances, and give out wristbands for the exact number of people listed on the reservation. At a lot of other Disney resort pools, this would be an option but they are super strict at Beach Club. Probably bc the pool is so cool!

@@MagicalResortsGuide thanks for the heads up. I would have been heartbroken to have asked some friends staying at another resort to come hang out on my no park day.

@@tylrk7358 You're so welcome! And yes, we found out the hard way with some family that live in the area. It was a bummer! Glad to have helped!

Thank you! 😊 And that sounds amazing!! I hope y’all had the best time. We haven’t done VIP yet. I would have my fancy shoes on too 😂😂

Thank you!

Awesome thank you! 💕

If the Caribbean vibes speak to you then I think you will love it. It’s a beautiful property. However, we haven’t loved the room quality or bus issues the last two times we stayed. It’s a sentimental resort for us (and there are a lot of things we do love about it) but sadly we haven’t picked it much recently bc of this. Not that you asked but my suggestion would be to look at Port Orleans French Quarter. In my opinion, this is such a romantic and intimate resort. You can also book a sunset carriage ride, they have a fun jazz bar, and there is a water shuttle to Disney Springs which opens up a lot more dining and nightlife options. It’s one of my favorite moderate resorts! 💕

Those are both great options inside Magic Kingdom. The People Mover is one of our favorites rides and the train for sure saves your legs when you are all the way in the back. Thanks for watching and sharing!

Agreed!! Love the monorail!

You’re welcome and thank you for your kind words!! We appreciate the support!

You caught my glitch!! 😝 I didn’t notice it until it was too late. Oh well! Haha Thanks for the kind words and for checking out our videos. We appreciate it!
