Second, many off-site hotels provide very limited shuttle service. Typically, they only run a few times each morning and a few times each evening. And many will only go to one of the four theme parks. It's usually Epcot. If you're not going to Epcot, you'll need to transfer to a Disney bus or monorail to reach your final destination. That process can take 20 to 60 minutes each way.
