Getting around Disney property using only Disney transportation can be a little challenging without a little bit of planning. One of the most important things to remember about Disney buses is that they do not go from resort to resort. Therefore, if you want to have dinner in a resort that you are not staying in, you must first go to a theme park and then transfer to another bus. For example, if you are staying at an All Star resort and have a breakfast at Chef Mickey's, you cannot get there on one bus alone. You will either need to pay for a cab, or take a bus to Magic Kingdom (the closest park to the Contemporary Resort) and then either walk or take the monorail to the resort for your meal. This takes a little extra time, so please allow for extra time before your reservation time. The concierge at the hotel can help you determine how much time to allow to get to your destination.
The best advice I can give for meals inside of resorts that you are not staying in, is to take a bus (or boat, monorail, etc) to the closest park and then catch another bus to the resort you are trying to get to. Keep in mind, with the transfers it could potentially take an hour to get to your dining reservation. This is the longest time I have had to date, and sometimes it can be a lot shorter if you hit all of the buses just right.
One final tip. Not only do buses NOT run from resort to resort, but they also do NOT run from Downtown Disney to any of the four major theme parks. Just something else to keep in mind when planning out your transportation during your trip!
