Buses from DTD to resorts

[dddisrunner]

What time in the morning do the buses start running from DTD Marketplace to the various resorts? Can you catch a bus from there to a breakfast ADR? Thanks for any help!

Well, if the marketplace opens at 9 then I would expect buses to start coming from resorts around 8. To catch one going back to a resort would probably be at least 8:30 . Where do you need to go?

A Disney bus driver told me that (A) They start running BACK to the resorts after the shops have been open half an hour and even then it's not "regular" like later in the day. So 9:30 or 10? They run TO earlier, but do not always go in a "loop". And (B) go to a park for this situation. The parks have dispatchers WATCHING for guests waiting in a pick up area. DTD does not so no one will know you are waiting....

In the morning, a bus dispatched out of DTD will do one of three things. 1) Marketplace to resort to a park, from the park to a resort and then to marketplace for another dispatch. 2) Marketplace to resort and back to marketplace 3) Stage at POP Century to service CBR or POP for runs to all parks.

Now the first buses to return to DTD are in the 8:00 to 8:30 range and there IS a dispatcher at marketplace for resort guests (go and look, he is in a white van). In fact you have a better chance of a quick pickup at DTD than you do at a park. While you may not get the first bus into Marketplace to return you to your resort (as we have a dispatch schedule to keep), you will get the first bus that is scheduled to head out to your resort.
