centered around Disney Springs and the Sassagoula River.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the <a

href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/blog\/walt-disney-world-resorts\/epcot-resort-area-hotels-best-disney-world-resorts-near-epcot\/\">EPCOT Resort Areas<\/a>, this location is not within walking distance of any theme park. Instead, it offers easy access to Disney Springs, which has become a major destination in its own right for dining, entertainment, and shopping.<\/p>\n<p>This makes the area a great choice for guests who want more balance in their trip\u2014not just park time, but also time to relax and enjoy their surroundings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transportation_in_the_Disney_Springs_Resort_Area\"><\/span>Transportation in the Disney Springs Resort Area<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Transportation here is simpler than in other areas\u2014but still effective.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Boats:<\/strong> Available from Port Orleans Riverside, French Quarter, Saratoga Springs, and Old Key West to Disney Springs<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buses:<\/strong> Provide transportation to all four theme parks and water parks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Boat transportation to Disney Springs is one of the highlights of staying in this area.
