Busses

[18sprint]

Small gripe. In the scheme of things today, a small annoyance. Using the bus system last week resort to park, park to resort, nearly every bus that pulled up had "refueling my pixie dust" on the front AND on the side as it's destination. So, before we boarded, we had to constantly ask the driver where he/she was going.

Oh yea, just my opinion.....My Disney Experience app stinks.

This wouldn’t even be a thing I spend a second thinking about. Best to just let it go.

Sounds like they are training lots of new bus drivers, which would be a good thing for future guests.

We saw the same thing.
Our bigger frustration was on the MDE app, the bus time for resorts wasn't working . The wait time screens were working at the bus stop. Previously, it was nice to see when the next bus was supposed to arrive so we knew if we missed it or if we needed to rush from our room to get the next bus.

Was like that for us in August too. Although it wasn't too bad for the most part considering the lack of drivers, but the worst was Disney Springs. We waited 45 minutes for a bus to the Riviera. One bus pulled in with Riviera on it and then switched to refilling my pixie dust. There were well over a dozen pixie dust busses and at one point, there wasn't enough room for them all to park!

What does "refilling my pixie dust" mean? Out of service?

Yes…out of service, repositioning somewhere else, etc. It’s just a cute phrase they run on the bus electronic sign when applicable.

no idea. We saw so many with that showing. some stopped to pick up people at the parks/resorts, others went on by.

When it's on a bus pulling into a stop to pick up Guests, it generally means something is amiss with the computerized bus dispatch system.

It's been about 5 years since I last drove a Disney bus, so I don't know what they're doing with it lately.
