Bus schedule?

Does somebody know what is the bus schedule at the value resorts?



Bus schedule?


No set schedule. Busses for each Disney destination come every 15 to 20 minutes, give or take 5 minutes.





Some take longer, some come sooner, sometimes you%26#39;ll have 3 busses for one destination before the one you are going to arrives.





Patience is a real virtue with Disney busses.



Bus schedule?


Do you know at what time does the first bus comes out in the morning?




One hour before the park opens for business (including morning EMH days).




How early do i have to start making the line sow i can get a seat?




Depends on your location on the route. Stop 1 - maybe 20 mins before bus one? Stop 3 - on busy days might not even be an option..




What is the first hotel that the bus pases by?




Each resort area has their own busses that service only that resort, except for the ';sister resorts'; at Disney.





The ';sister resorts'; which share busses are the three All-Star resorts, the two Port Orleans resorts, the Swan and Dolphin resorts, and the Yatch %26amp; Beach Club resorts.





All other Disney resorts have their own busses that go straight from the resort to the theme parks.




If buses get backed up to where 2 or 3 are right behind one another for the same park, they rework the buses or a bus sits for a while. They really do try their best to keep to the schedule, but when they have to load a wheelchair on the bus that can take 10 minutes. This is when you find the back up.





You can pick the park that everyone at your resort is going to or the park no one is going to. It is just luck.





I love the bus system, if you have teens they can use them easily to get around. I would not do disney any other way.




I disagree that buses start running only one hour prior to park opening time. They start running earlier than that. The ';one hour'; thing is a very common misconception.





WDW offers character breakfasts at each of the 4 theme parks, and each of these restaurants have reservations (';ADRs';) that begin at least one hour before park opening. Disney likes it when guests use their Disney Transport bus system, and so they make it possible for people to use the buses to get to these expensive meals.





For Magic Kingdom, for example, the first buses begin running around 6:30 a.m. (even if the park doesn%26#39;t open %26#39;til 9:00 a.m.). That early, they run only about every 30 minutes instead of every 15 or 20 minutes, but they definitely begin running that early, as the first ADRs begin at 7:00 a.m. (Cinderella%26#39;s Royal Table, Crystal Palace). In addition, you can take an early bus to MK to catch early ADRs at Chef Mickey%26#39;s in the nearby Contemporary Resort ... in fact, if you tell the driver you are going to Chef Mickey%26#39;s, he or she has the discretion to drop you off directly at Contemporary!). %26#39;Ohana, at Polynesian, has 7:00 a.m. ADRs, and 1900 Park Fare, at Grand Floridian, has 8:00 a.m. ADRs.





Animal Kingdom and DHS have ADRs beginning at 8:00 a.m. (Tusker House and Hollywood %26amp; Vine, respectively), so buses there will begin by no later than 7:30 a.m., probably more like 7 or 7:15 a.m. (even if those parks don%26#39;t open %26#39;til 9:00 a.m.).





Epcot has ADRs at Restaurant Akershus beginning at 8:30 a.m. Buses to Epcot begin running on a daily basis by 7:30 a.m. or a little earlier.





If buses truly started running only 1 hour prior to park openings, guests wouldn%26#39;t be able to use Disney Transport buses to get to these early ADRs at/near the parks.
