Bus Route

Do the buses run from the parks to DS? Or will we have to go back to our resort and then to DS? I'd like to go from HS to DS for dinner and am trying to figure out timing before tomorrow when my ADR take place. Thanks!

We were told several times by several different CM's that bus service from the parks to DS starts around 3p. We were never successful finding the bus on either our May or July vacation. We took a bus from the parks to SSR and walked over.

Just came back, and I never saw Disney Springs on the boards with bus information. We wanted to go from Hollywood Studios, but decided to Skyliner back to Pop Century, where we were staying, and take the Disney Springs bus from there. Maybe bus service is provided, but I didn't see it.

Buses from the parks to DS have not been reinstated. You will need to go to a resort first and then transfer to a DS bus there.

There isn't bus service from parks to DS. Best bet is uber/lyft since taking a bus from park to resort to disney springs is absurd and can be such a time waster.

This was the case pre-Covid. The route has not been reinstated. You will need to go to a resort for a DS bus.

While you can walk over from SSR, as someone who owns there, I would caution the bus service is somewhat less than stellar… people using it as their DS transportation only make it worse. That’s my rant. LOL

Possible options from DS without knowing where you are staying:

1. Skyliner to Caribbean Beach or Riviera and take bus. These resorts are quite close to DS.
2. Walk to BW for bus to DS
3. Boat to BC/YC for bus to DS
4. Take a bus from HS to POFQ walk straight through the lobby past the Gator band, around the pool to the boat dock.

#4 would probably be the favorite to me since I love the boat from POFQ to DS, but depending on where the restaurant is, arriving at DS via bus may be closer.

OP if you do decide to take the bus to Saratoga and walk over to Disney Springs remember to disembark from the bus at the Congress Park bus stop as this is the closest to the walking trail to the Springs.
