How long to you plan for the morning bus ride to each park? An hour? Half hour? We will be staying at Pop next week. Crowd calendars say 5's and 7's(weekend) for the parks.

I would plan at least an hour. That assumes waiting at the bus stop for 30 minutes, a 20 minute ride, then 10 minute walk to the gate. That hour starts when you get to the bus stop.
 
We stay at POP most trips, our favorite. I have most ride about 20 minute ride once on the bus. We usually wait about 15 minutes for a bus, so about 35 to 40 minutes at most. Now that is to MK and epcot for the most part. Animal kingdom is a bit longer maybe add about 10-12 minutes. Hollywood studios is about the same as EPCOT just a minute or two longer. We have some long waits going back to the resort after the fire works. There we have waited about 45 minutes for a bus and had to stand. We usually leave before the fire works now. Have a great trip and enjoy.
 

I was also told that to get to MK from Downtown Disney, allow an hour? Is that enough time? More?

Well, there isn't a direct bus from DTD to MK. You'd have to take a bus from DTD to the Contemporary and then walk to the MK. I think an hour should be good, but if you have to get to the MK for an ADR, it wouldn't hurt to allow a little more time.

I think an hour is about the minimum. I'd leave 90-120 minutes.
30 minute wait for a bus
20 minute ride to CR
10 minute walk to the gate

OR

30 minute wait for a bus
15 minute ride to any other resort
20 minute wait for a bus
15 minute ride to MK
