Bus times

[grammimouse]

Sorry to be a bother but , does anyone have the link that shows the travel times between the resorts (Pop Century ) and each park ? I remember I had a copy last September , but , seem to have lost it. TIA

The official Disney answer is that "Buses generally operate from one hour before a theme park’s opening time until one hour after a theme park’s closing time."

In reality, buses often start two hours before park opening (though they come less frequently, every 1/2 hour or so) to accommodate 8 AM breakfasts on non-EMH days, and they will continue running until all bus lines have cleared.

Actual travel time on the road from Pop to the parks will run from 8-15 minutes, depending on which park.
But, add 30-40 minutes to allow worst-case time for a bus to arrive and load.

I know the approximate start and end times of the schedule , and that they circulate all day , coming about every 20 minutes or so. And I know all about how they can take so much longer than we all think.What I was asking for was the timetable ( approximate ) of the travel time between each park and Pop Century. There was one available last year , I had one. Like 8 minutes to MK , 6 minutes to HS , ETC. I guess I'll just have to keep looking for it.

you can just look it up with google maps.

It honestly doesn't matter because they'll come so frequently anyhow.

To DHS: 9 minutes
To AK: 10 minutes
To Epcot: 8 minutes
To MK: 16 minutes

Add time for traffic and stop light timing.

There's a chart in The Unofficial Guide-WDW-2015 book, but I don't think you can get that chart online. I don't know about another online source for the info. The "Hotel Information Chart"--pages 269-286--gives commuting times to the parks from most hotels in and around WDW. The other chart is "Door-to-Door Commuting Times to and from the Disney Resorts and Parks in Your Car Versus the Disney Transportation System" on pages 398-399.

Careful.
It is considered by the transportation experts on the DIS to be one of the more unreliable tools available.
It often gives routes that are unavailable or no longer exist.

Thank you ! That is what I was looking for. I understand that there are many variables to be handled.

Thank you for your help. I looked up all the answers that I was seeking. I must say though , the times that they gave differ ( sometimes double ) the times that Robo gave.
