Beginning 4/20, for a limited time, there will be direct bus service in the evening between MK & FtW Settlement (the location of HDD & Mickey's BBQ.) Buses will run 4pm-11:30pm, also stopping at WL.

This is a limited time test, currently scheduled to last for 4 weeks.

Two questions:

1) Is this pretty much to handle Hoop De Doo crowds?
2) Will the buses at the end of the last Hoop De Doo to the resorts still run while this new route runs?

I guess I don't understand why you would board a bus from MK to FW to go to Hoop De Doo. The bus will have to let you off at the front of FW and you will still have to take an internal bus back to where Hoop De Doo is. If you just hop on the boat at the MK it takes you right to the boat dock at FW where Hoop De Doo is.

From my understanding, this new route does not stop at the front of FW. It goes directly to Settlement Hall.

These buses stop at WL first and then the settlement. They use the back road from WL to the settlement and don't go thru the fort.

Any word on if this will continue. Will need to go from POR or MK to FW for HDD.

Sorry, haven't heard anything. I would plan on taking the boat, and ask the bus driver when you arrive at MK whether the bus to FtW is still an option.
