Bus question

[Tigger1021]

Or family's is going to be at WDW for the wine & dine marathon weekend, and everything i am reading says you have to get to espn wide world of sports to pick up your run bibs, etc... For the race. It appears that I can catch a bus from Hollywood studios to espn... Can anyone tell me if that is the case or if I need to make special arrangements? Thanks in advance

Per runDisney: "Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend Transportation will depart from the Event Host Resorts to the Expo at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex approximately every 30 minutes and will begin one half hour prior to opening, continuing until one half hour after closing. If you are staying at a Host Resort, please check with your front desk for a pick-up location. Participants staying at the Host Resorts are strongly encouraged to use the event transportation to the Expo due to other events taking place at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex that weekend."

The Event Host Resorts for W&D this year are: All-Star Movies, Music & Sports; Pop Century; Caribbean Beach; Port Orleans; BoardWalk; Saratoga Springs; Yacht & Beach Club; Polynesian; and Wilderness Lodge.

The WWS website does not indicate that there is any bus service from Hollywood Studios.

You're looking at outdated info somewhere.

Disney Transport no longer runs buses from DHS to EWWS; that was discontinued a couple of years ago.

Instead, buses now run from the All Star Resorts, Pop Century, and CBR Customs House. Service is every half hoir, but runs only when events are scheduled at EWWS (which definitey includes race registrations.)

Or you can ride a charter bus from one of the host resorts, as per PP. The host resorts are listed in the Travel section of the RunDisney web site.
