Concerned about buses to and From the All-Stars

[brandont]

We are about to book for the end of Sept at the All - Star Movies. We have always stayed at AKL or Pop and had no trouble with the buses. Are the buses shared between all 3 of the All-Stars? Frequency? Over all efficiency?

I'm out of my normal element and freaking out a little. Thanks for the help!

Stop worrying!! When I stayed at Music, the bus stopped at Sports first, then us at Music. In the mornings the bus did not stop at Movies. Seems they have their own bus. But, they do share at slower times of day. Had no issue whatsoever with the buses at Music, so I'm sure you will be fine at Movies.

We are thinking of staying at Pop and have never stayed at a value. We have stayed at POR and WL and don't have kids. Will it be too noisy for us and how did you like the food court?

The normal interval between buses to the All Stars is 20 minutes. Shared buses can have an advantage in that the interval could be shorter, 10 to 15 minutes, if there are more people. Alternatively they may have one bus do two resorts at a time going back up to the 20 minute intervals, then separate buses back at the 20 minute intervals.

Separate buses from the parks back to the All Stars is probably scheduled as opposed to on demand. Signs above the loading platforms have to be changed every day for park closing.

A disadvantage is that, during off hours, all the seats are taken by the time the bus gets to the last stop, usually 'Movies.

We didn't find it noisy at all. The food court is sufficient, but we usually eat at the parks so we may not be the best judges. Our other trips were to the AKL and although there is a considerable difference in the resorts we were never disappointed with POP. We would be staying there this time if there were availiability.

Thankyou for your replies. I think we will try them since it is a much shorter trip than we usually take and a good time to branch out.

At peak times, the resorts will have their own bus. I stayed at the Music this past Labor Day weekend & not once did we share a bus..
