Bus Transport at Onsite hotels

[carinab]

I am wearing out the search functions looking for info on the different properties and when the buses run. I've looked at a ton of threads and haven't found the answer yet. Maybe my search-fu is weak!

All the different websites concur that buses run about every 20 minutes. Allearsnet.com states that the buses may circulate amongst some or all of the All Star value properties before going off to the parks. It seems to me that if the buses start running an hour before a park opens and it stops at multiple properties, that it would take a while to get to the park....not to mention be kinda' crowded. How long would on average does it take to reach Epcot or MK once the bus left all the AS properties?

What about Pop Century? It's buses don't look to be shared with other properties....

Same with Old Key West?

We're planning a five and a half day trip (our first with our 6 yr old daughter) and the amount of info is overwhelming!

TIA!

Kinda' looks like it's a half hour trip no matter where you go....

It is hard to give exact times. Buses are dispatched to a resort every 20 minutes or less. Depending on time of day or which park you are going to, the All Stars are combined in some way.

MK is the only park that regularly seperates the All Stars into seperate resorts. MGM does either all three together or SP and MO as one and MU as the other.

POP is always it's own route from any park and so is OKW, SSR, CBR and CSR.
GF, Poly and CR share as does WL and FW. Epcot resorts either have just boat service or share with one or all, again, depending on the park.

30 minutes is a good estimate of time on average. If going from resort to resort, figure on an hour.
