The only time it would share with the other resorts besides BC is if late at night and there aren't that many people, then they start consolidating all the runs cus they have less buses. I am mostly a night time driver so I'm not sure about the morning but I'm pretty sure they run the YC and BC together and the BW, S&D together unless they are helping each other out. Like if say YC/BC bus is not too crowded and the crowds are terrible at the Swan, then the dispatchers might ask the YC/BC to help out and stop over at the Swan. The loadzones at MK are YC/BC and then BW/S/D so that is how they will do the route. I would say it would take a 1/2 hr from YC/BC to MK but always give yourself an hour to wait for the bus and get to the park because like I have said in other posts, you just dont know if there will be a wheelchair on your bus that will hold you up or if traffic will be bad. I hope this helps.
I routinely stay at BW, and sometimes at the S/D (can you tell I love that area??). Anyway...there have been many times I have taken the bus from BW to MK when we have also stopped at the YC/BC, during the day. IF it's early in the morning, around rope drop time, the buses won't be combined. It will be YC/BC on their own bus and the other three lumped together. BUT...during the day, when there is less guest need, the MK buses will service all 5 of the Epcot resorts.
So, for park opening and closing, YC/BC should have their own bus.
Thanks to both! I've been trying to decide if we should have breakfast at Kouzzina or Captain's Grille on our MK day, and how much time to allow to get to the parks. I think we'll stay at the YC and allow 1 hour. Thanks!
