Buses from AOA

[Jgeauxmo]

We had a terrible time getting a bus from csr in February (a slow week) to mk in the morning. One morning we waited almost an hour and were passed by several full buses. We were staying in the cabanas section so we were at the end of the loop. How are the buses at AOA? Is there an internal loop or all in the front like pofq? Has anyone experienced a problem getting a bus to mk in the morning? If the buses are a problem like at csr, I think I'm going to forgo any early morning breakfast reservation at mk because it was too stressful and just started our day off completely wrong.

All the bus stops at AoA are in front of the lobby.

i absolutely hated CRS for this reason.
and we stayed at the casitas and were the first bus stop.
we waited 45 minutes for an epcot but that did not show.
meanwhile 5 AK buses came by.
we finally asked the 5th one if they could see where an epcot one was.
it took another 10 minutes to get one there.
and we would pass by the other bus stops every morning because the bus was full and there were lots of people waiting.

AOA is nothing like CRS in that respect.
its one bus stop area and you form a line vs just everyone standing around and making a mad dash onto the bus.

although if you happen to be staying in the LM section in building 8 its actually faster to walk to POP's bus stop area and i find that POP's buses run quite smoothly.

The above scenario was the only issue we had at AoA with the buses. Actually more of an issue when returning after a long night in the parks..............long walk back to LM rooms.

I thought the busses from AoA were excellent. I don't recall ever waiting more than 10-15 minutes for a bus.

We've never had a long wait for buses at AofA.

One of best features about the value resorts, specifically AofA and Pop, is ONE BUS STOP! Once it is loaded, next stop is the park! We prefer resorts with one bus stop, such as these and POFQ. The stopping, loading and unloading of people, kids, strollers, scooters, etc. at some of the moderate resorts feels endless and is not for us!

Thank you so much!! This helps knowing that someone else had the same experience at csr and was fine at AOA. It made for a very tense morning when we were trying to make a 9:30 breakfast reservation and had been waiting for over an hour!
