[kadiekaismummi]

Hi guys, we are doing a Universal holiday, 1st time to Orlando in over 8 years, only purchasing Universal tickets, as we are on a bit of a budget holiday, but we have booked to stay at AOA for our last two days, hopefully if funds let us we can purchase Hollywood Studios tickets for a day, & be able to use free buses to MCO Airport on our return home, also on of the reasons we are planning on staying at AOA, we have never stayed DWD on site ever before & want to be able to go to Disney Springs in the evening, we have never been here in all the times we have been to Orlando, so will be our 1st time to Disney Springs, have heard there are some good places to eat & shop, also. Is there a free bus from AOA to & from Disney Springs for staying guests ? If so is it easy to use, is there many buses to & from the resort, any help would be great x thanks guys xx

There are regular buses from all the resorts to and from disney springs. There will be one around about every 20-25 minutes until disney springs closes.
You can always visit the resorts to eat as wel, you would need to switch buses at one of the parks for this.
AOA looks good we are staying there for 3 nights this year before our tickets and dining start.

If staying on site you will be able to spend a few hours on the monorail getting on and off at some of the delux resorts to have a look around as well as a brief overview if Epcot. You can also walk over to Pop Centuary which is within walking distance across the bridge. A 1 day pass is the same price at the gate or on line. If you book on line then you will get fast passes for 60 days out. I have to say the Magical Express is excellent but make sure you check your pick up time we had to change ours in 2015 as it did not give us enough time to book in.
