Bus order at Swan

[MinnieVanMom]

I know that the bus is shares with the other Epcot resorts for the Swan.

Could you please tell me the order in which the bus goes to the resorts? Mom is coming with and has...yes...the dreaded scooter. I hope there will be room on a bus for her without having to wait hours. For that I hope our bus stop will be 1st or 2nd.

Either the Boardwalk or the Swan is the first stop. I have been on buses that once they left BW, headed to their destination. I have also been on BW buses that then went on to the Swan and then the Dolphin. So, you will be either the first or second stop.

Thank you, just trying to wrap my head around the upcoming first trip with scooter and what to expect, other than the evil looks.

This past December after getting on the Magic Kingdom bus at the Boardwalk it had already been to the Swan & Dolphin since there was people already on there, so after we got on it went right to the Magic Kingdom.

Later day that when we were going from the Magic Kingdom to the Boardwalk it was the first stop, so that meant it went to Swan & Dolphin after we got off.

if it was in the am it could of been an extra bus that went to all the epcot resorts meaning boardwalk would be last. Then later when it calm down they went back to regular service with the swan and doplhin and boardwalk sharing one bus and then yacht club and beach club get their own bus.

We always seemed to stop at the Swan first, but this was coming back from parks. We would get off at the Swan and walk to the BW cause it was so close. Can't remember the order going to the parks... lol. This was in Jan, so a slow time and Disney was probably combining routes.

The first bus we took was in the morning, however there wasn't enough people on there to have come from the Yacht Club and Beach Club. Plus when we arrived at the Magic Kingdom it dropped us off at the specifc section where the sign said Boardwalk, Swan & Dolphin. There was another bus at the section for the Yacht Club & Beach Club, so it wasn't an extra bus.

Very early, an hour before the park opens, there may be 5-resort buses because there are not enough guests traveling to warrant separate buses.

If it was after park opening,

1. It may have been a bus carrying "upsteams" from the MK to one of the resorts; they sometimes go to all 5 resorts.
2. It may have seemed less crowded than you expected because the scheduled bus came into the Swan or YC right in front of it.
3. The load zone at which a bus drops off at a park really has nothing to do with what resorts it picked up from.

I know that because in the past when taking the bus from the Contemporary to Hollywood Studios it would drop us off at the closest section to the front and not the location for the Contemporary. However the last time I was at the Magic Kingdom it dropped us off at the section for the Boardwalk, Swan & Dolphin. So that was the exception because if the driver wanted to he could have dropped us off closer to the front since there were more spaces available and he did not.
