All Star Music buses

[YolantasKids]

We stayed at POR last year and thought the buses were fine. Next year we plan on staying at All Star Music and I wanted to know how the bus service will compare to POR? Anyone have experiences that they can share with us. We are going with our 4 kids (13yo DD, 9yo DD, 9yo DD and 4yo DS).

Thank you in advance.

sometimes the all star resort all share one bus to each park - other times they don't.

the other times are hard to determine.

We were @ ASMu 2 weeks ago & we only shared busses 1 time - it was great. Better transportation there than @ POP the September before. I haven't been to POR in a few years, but we shared with POFQ a couple of times when we were there.

Bus rides are quite short from the ALL Stars according to PassPorter.com

All Star Buses-CBR buses---POPbuses--PO buses--- Contemporary
MK 20 min---- 20 min-----25 min------10 min---20 min(mono)
Epcot 10 min-- 15 min-----20 min------10 min---15 min
MGM 10 min----12 min-----15 min------15 min---20min
AK 10 min------20min-------15 min----15 min---20 min
DTD 15 min----20 min------20 min-----15 min---35 min

It only takes 10 minutes to get to Epcot, MGM and AK from All Stars.
MK is 20 min away. That's the same amount of time it takes on the monorail from the Contemporary.

A WORD ABOUT BUS SHARING

To me Bus Sharing at the All Stars is really a non issue.

In the mornings during Park opening hours each All Star usually has a dedicated bus.
During mid day it is usually just our stop and maybe one more on the way to the parks. On the way back sometimes it is all 3 but often Sports and Movies share and Music has it's own bus back. Each of the All Stars usually has it's own dedicated bus back from the MK.That is a big plus.

It seems like the Music bus stop usually has the shortest of the three All Star bus lines.

I guess some people who stay at POP see all 3 All Star names on the return sign of our bus stop when they head to the POP bus stop and think All Stars also has 3 stops on the way to the park.
(Even when we stop at another AS resort to load up it has not taken more than 5 minutes and we are on our way!)
