Walt Disney World implemented new transportation restrictions at Disney Springs beginning June 28, 2026, requiring verification that guests are resort hotel guests to access complimentary buses and boats from the shopping district. The policy closed loopholes that allowed non-resort visitors to use resort-exclusive transportation, a change Disney formalized on its official website by June 29. The restriction sparked debate among fans, with some blaming a viral article about free Disney strategies for prompting the crackdown, though Disney cited infrastructure concerns as the underlying issue.
