BWV Bus Transportation report to MK 5/16>5/19

[jaysue]

Not sure if this is news or old hat now....

We took the bus from BW to MK during our BWV stay 5/16 to 5/19 and the bus came to BWV then went to the Swan and then straight to MK

I was happy that we only had the BWV and Swan stop but was trying to make sense of why stop at the Swan

Also at MK, they had a stop for the S&D and a separate stop for BWV/BWI/YC/BC/BCV

FWIW there was a CM at the BWV bus stop that was calling buses in as required - our wait for the MK buses was between 2 and 7 minutes which was fantastic

thanks

FINALLY! I hope you will share with the management of DVC and or the BW that you are pleased with the change...they deserve credit for addressing this nagging issue!

Oh I hope they keep it this way finally! We've seen this arrangement before and then they went back to running the whole loop.

Thanks for the report!

What time of day were you traveling???

I was reading on the transportation board a while back that the morning different that the rest of the day. They call it MOD (magic on demand) and FLEX. I ended up slightly confused about the whole system but it seem more flexible in the morning, picking up varible number of resorts depending on demand

We were heading to MK in the early am (about 0815 or so) and heading back to BWV in mid-afternoon

I think they have left the configuration that they can change as required both back to the 5 resort loop option or less than 5 as required

At MK though I guess they would have to manually change the signs on the overhead holders to change the S&D stop and the YC/BC/BW stop
