Final word on the #ArtofAnimation / Pop Century bus situation from AoA managers and Imagineers - At the present time, buses ARE being shared randomly between the two resorts depending on volume of guests staying and park attendances. It can change day-to-day though.

Once the #ArtofAnimation Resort is open fully by this fall, it WILL have its own bus system and NOT share with Pop.

As a long-time Cast Member just told me, "AoA's own bus system and not sharing was something we were very adamant about!"

We stayed at POP June 11-17, there was NO sharing of buses.

VERY interesting.

That is the first report of "bus sharing" I have seen since AoA opened May 31.

It would NOT surprise me since Disney is also allowing "pool sharing" even after going to the trouble of fencing and RFID gating the AoA pools.

really? when were you there? were they realy allowing it, or did people just manage to catch the gate open?

Sorry, but I have to ask; what is FB, Face Book?
I think that there will probably be occasional bus sharing until AoA is fully open. I can understand this as the small number of guests would make it very wasteful on Disney's part to be running a lot of big gas guzzlers with small numbers of guests just to keep separate buses for the new resort. Once the AoA is really rolling I'm sure nothing will be shared including the pools.

Yes, you are correct.

We are here now at AofA. No bus sharing. The bus does exit through Pop though.

There are numerous reports that The Big Blue and Cozy Cone pools do not have the RFID gates turned on and POP Guests are routinely swimming there.

Here is some good doscussion on this topic.

I've been at POP for 9 days and have taken buses from both POP and AoA and have seen no instances of sharing.
