When we were there in Oct 01, we did not experience any difficulty in using the buses from VWL to parks. Stopping at Poly and GF makes the ride a bit long, but there are many times when I like leaving the driving to someone else. We're pretty easy going so waiting for buses doesn't bug us unless it is exceptionally long. Once on the return from Epcot, we were the only ones on the bus! What personal service!!
