Bus time from POP to....

[klh-or]

the different kingdoms? Do I understand it correctly that Pop doesn't share a shuttle with any other hotels? So, if you catch the bus at Pop and are headed to Magic Kingdom, you'll likely stop at the other kingdoms before getting to MK? (Obvously I need to look at a map!) Anyway, just wondering a ballpark idea of how long it takes from Pop to the various places via the Pop shuttle. Thanks!

you are correct in that Pop doesn't share the bus with any other resort
Epcot less than 7 minutes
AK about 15 minutes
MK 10-15 minutes
MGM less than 7 minutes

it all depends on the route your driver takes, we have been on the bus to MK before and it only took 12.5 minutes (DH timed it) and a later trip to MK took longer and the family sitting next to us said it was because of the way the driver took

The MK bus only goes to Mk, Epcot to Epcot etc-no going via every park

I agree there are 2 ways the buses go to MK from Pop...
I timed it in March and the longer route took 15-20 minutes depending on the lights.
All the other parks seemed like a quick trip, but MK was quite a distance away.

Get to the bus stops at Pop early, the lines get long the closer it is to park openings in th AM. Long enough that you may have to wait for a second bus if it is a busy time of year.
If MK opened at 9am, I was in line for a bus by 8am.

I have always had a good experience with Pop bus service the two times I have stayed there.

The above posts are correct with one exception. The animal kingdom bus from POP will stop at Blizzard Beach 1st and then go to the Animal Kingdom and when the POP bus leaves the AK it will go to Blizzard Beach first before returning to POP. Unless of course you are going during the time BB is closed for refurbishment.

And if I remember correctly---the bus stops at Typhoon Lagoon also, and then onto Downtown Disney.

We just got back Monday and we never had a 7 min bus ride. One night leaving MK it was at least 30+ minutes. I mentioned it to my husband and he said the driver took a different route because of the traffic. I don't think any of our rides were under 15 minutes.

Pop does have their own buses, but I noticed compared to AS resorts that the waits were longer with Pop. Maybe it's because with AS--they are dealing with 3 resorts, whereas Pop is only 1 and there are less buses. We waited many times in the morning to catch the bus for at least 20+ minutes.

But on the good side, the buses were less crowded than on the all stars.
