Bus Stops

[GrandmaLT]

While I realize these can change periodically, can someone tell me which bus stop location # is for Pop Century, Art of Animation and Caribbean Beach at each park? Trying to decide between resorts and having to walk to the bus at the end of a long day in the park is a factor in making our choice. Thanks in advance!!

I know last time we were there AoA was the furthest walk at the MK. We were in the last section (all the way to the right) of the bus loop, all the way at the end of the walk (the very last or next to last stop). Quite a way when you are carrying dead tired children. I want to say that HS was also a bit of a walk. Have never stayed at Pop, but I don't remember Caribbean Beach being a far walk.

We have found that most of the time, the more you pay for your room, the closer the bus stop to the park entrance.

AOA and Pop are always next to each other in my experience and always the farthest away.

 

[Mambo Junkie]

Yes I know; after the little one turned 3 that meant we were now a party of 6, so AoA it was.

The bus stops for POP and AOA are the furthest away and a long walk at all the parks. POP at MK is like 32 or 36. At Disney Springs, that was a very long walk, it was in the 39-42 area.

Values are generally the furthest away (Including Pop and AoA) from the exits. CB being a moderate would be a little less of a walk. If walking less to get to the bus is a priority, plan to spring for the higher level hotel.

The exception being AK, where they're the closest stop.

Pop & AoA are the largest resorts, so they have the load zones with the largest queues, which are usually farthest away, partly because they were built last, and partly so they don't block other load zones when the queue overflows. They're also able to accommodate the articulated buses, although the artics are currently used only at MK.

AK is the exception because the extra large load zones were added on between the existing load zones and the park entrance, and given their own concourse to contain crowds.

Bear in mind that the Skyliner will soon be the primary mode of transportation between all 3 resorts and 2 of the 4 theme parks.

Eh, there's no truth to Value having a further bus stop and Deluxe a closer
None whatsoever. I've found POR/FQ to be closer than BWI at several parks. But seeing how they move around (I've had them moved while at the park on more than 1 occasion) I don't memorize them. Bus stops are all intermingled.
There is truth that AoA and Pop are often more remote since they use those articulating buses and as such, need more space so their stops are positioned so that they have the extra space needed.

I don't know the numbers but generally AoA will be the very last stop with Pop next to it. CBR will usually be in the middle row.

Thanks for all the info. Does anyone have info on the MK and Epcot bus stops list such as a pic of the board where you see where your bus stop is?

Don't know when these were taken

The silver and blue board is at Epcot; the bronze & white one is at MK.

We're staying at AoA at the moment. The bus stop for AoA is the furthest away from all four parks and Disney Springs. Pop is the next farthest.

I've always found this weird considering AoA is a more expensive resort than Pop. Even if it was built later, both DHS and Disney Springs have all new bus stops and they are still last

We have stayed at the Pop the last two years and it seems the bus was almost the furthest but we were not carrying or dealing with tired/crabby/sleeping kids so the extra walk didn't really affect us. We averaged 10-12 miles walking per day so an extra 500 steps wouldn't have swayed our decision to stay at a different resort.
