How do you get from Lake Buena Vista to Kissimmee?
LYNX bus routes are one public-transit option for getting around the Kissimmee area, but check the route and schedule for your specific trip. Link 18 serves S. Orange Avenue and Kissimmee; Link 56 serves W.
U.S. 192 and Magic Kingdom; and Link 300 is the Disney/Orlando Express. If you are also planning time around nearby sights in Lake Buena Vista, account for those separately from your Kissimmee plans.
Link 10 runs between Kissimmee Intermodal Station and stops along U.S. Highway 192 toward St. Cloud. These route names can help you identify a possible connection, but they don’t establish a direct ride from Lake Buena Vista to the park. A separate day trip covered in the Winter Garden guide from Orlando is another area to plan independently.
Service hours vary by stop along a route. Before setting out, check LYNX’s schedule or online trip planner, or call 407-841-LYNX for trip-specific information.
