Does anyone know if AoA is sharing buses with Pop?!? I am running my number for my December trip if I want to stay on property or not and the Little Mermaid Wing will be open then and I could stay at AoA. If it doesn't share it would be worth trying out AoA.
 
That's what I've read as well. Someone even posted pics of the Bus stops at the parks, and AoA had their own spot at each one. I think the assumption is that they will not be sharing.
 

We're scheduled to visit in August. I was wondering if anyone knew what how long it takes to get to the various parks. I assume the buses just go to the parks and DTD? I know the commute times are posted elsewhere for the other resorts and that AoA is new, but wondered if anyone had been there and might have an idea.

I believe someone may have posted them in the AoA thread. At least I think I remember seeing them over there. I will double check...
 
Whn AoA first drew up their transportation contracts, they were supposed to NOT share buses for the entire first year. Now they're telling guests that AoA buses will share with Pop during slower times. I stayed there last week and I "heard" that AoA was sharing buses with Pop at times but I didn't see it myself.
 
I have spoke to several CM's about my POP reservations asking if POP shared buses with AoA - everytime I'm told no, that POP & AoA will have their own buses. This seems to be confirmed on the POP resort thread as well. HTH!
 
As of now, they do not share. I stayed there from 5/31 - 6/6 and we had the bus all to ourselves. The only thing the AoA buses share with Pop is the Pop Century entrance. The bus passes Pop on it's way to AoA. It passes by the Lion King wing and then turns in to the Animation Hall driveway to the bus stop which is directly in front of the gift shop/cafeteria. The exit to the gift shop puts you directly in front of the bus stop.
 
If they were sharing buses now it's probably because AOA isn't entirely open yet, therefore, it isn't full.
 
We are at Pop now, and there has been no sharing of buses with AoA.

It's kind of nice having two bus options. A couple of times, we have been leaving a park and were lucky enough to walk up to an AoA bus that was ready to go, so we just took those and walked over the bridge to Pop. Our room is on the back side of the Tramp building, so it worked very well/easily for us.
