CP Bus Dropoffs?

[littlewitch34]

Hey! I'm down here doing the CP right now. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where all the busses drop you off. I know where the MK bus goes (TTC and West Clock -- I get off at TTC to visit the park as a guest), as well as the DTD bus, but I don't know about the other parks. I do not want to take the bus to go to the parks and discover that I'm backstage at a time when I am not supposed to be, or in a location I'm not supposed to be in!!

PM me with answers, because I don't know if it's like a security risk posting it online, or anything.

Thanks bunches!

The Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom buses drop you off really close to where the regular guest resort buses are in the front of the parks.

As far as Epcot goes... My roommate works at Epcot, and she says the bus there is crazy. So I've never actually tried to take the Epcot CP bus. I just take the A bus to the TTC and then take the monorail to Epcot. It takes longer, but I'm always just going to Epcot to play anyways, so I'm not really on a schedule.

Ah jeez! That sucks! If I get into the Cultural Rep. Program I'll have to take the EPCOT bus every day.

I believe the EPCOT bus just drops you off in front of their cast services. You walk in, go straight through, and then you can either get on the bus to take you around the other side of the park or walk through backstage to come out usually around Mexico/Odyssey/Test Track. It's sort of confusing, but no one will be really mad at you for being back there. Just don't be dumb.

Thank you! I just don't want to take a bus to a bus, you know?

I got fussed at all the time by DHS people for going back stage.

But normally if you just walk in and act like you know where you're going you can get away with it.

Lol I worked at DHS, and I got fussed at for going backstage, probably because it's the ONE park where being backstage is completely unnecessary.

But I always look like I'm lost, even when I know where I'm going!

I just know that we're not supposed to be out and about in World Showcase in places like Mexico when we've got a Canadian costume on. Unless our shift starts before World Showcase opens. But then I'd have to walk backstage to get around to Canada, right?

Haha, if you try to walk to the Canadian Pavilion, it will take a while! Don't worry, they have backstage buses that stops at each pavilion so you don't have to walk.

Phew! That makes me feel much better!

I worked at Epcot - the CP bus drops you at Cast Services where you can catch a bus going East (Main Entrance) or West (everything else)

If you're going to play at Epcot just take the east bus and head through the breakroom and then you'll be at the front of the park

If you don't want to do that, you could always take the MK bus to the TTC and Monorail over to Epcot

This page was created for Entertainment, but the driving directions work for all CMs (and has CP bus drop off locations).

Depending on the time of day I would sometimes take the G bus to Beach club and then go into ECPOT through the international gateway. it didn't take too much longer and it's nice if you want to be in the WS (then you don't have to walk all the way to the back from the front). I always felt iffy about going in by testrack

I had always entered to Epcot by either going through the Mexican entrance or Test Track. I think the only time I had ever used the front entrance was on New Years Eve because during that time you were not allowed backstage without a costume on. I always just wore my work ID around my neck while backstage and then take it off when I get onstage. I'd never got stopped and I usually pass by a bunch of managers and security. I talked to one of the managers at Epcot and they told me that they don't really force the front entrance rule (the one where you have to go through the front) that much at Epcot because they know that the CP bus only goes backstage there and it's kind of a hassle to make your way all the way to the front. You have to go backstage again anyway to catch the bus to go home.

I second the above, unless I was heading to Epcot via normal guest transportation from another park I always entered through Mexico.
