AKV - New Internal Resort Bus

[PaintsWithAllTheColors]

So I saw that the DIS posted an article on a new internal-resort bus at AKV. http://www.wdwinfo.com/news-stories...house-and-kidani-at-animal-kingdom-lodge/amp/

Maybe I'm crazy but wasn't there already something like this in place?

Yes, they have always had shuttles between the 2 AK lodges

Yes but it was always a smaller van that seated about 9. This is a full on small shuttle bus.

Looks like they simply replaced the van.

Okay, that makes sense. Thank you all for clarifying!

I was confused by that as well because I took the shuttle between the two when we stayed there. I thought I was loosing my mind.

A couple years ago, there was a party that took up the entire van, so I had to wait for them to go over and then the van return. It really wasn't bad, but I guess it's happened more often and maybe they just wanted/needed something with a larger capacity.

Seems like the writer of that article did not know that they had the service for years and just bought new wheels for it.
