Current bus information-Pop Century

[disnee9]

Can you currently take the busses to Epcot from Pop Century instead of taking the Skyliner ?? I would prefer to be deposited at the front of Epcot instead of back at World Showcase ??

If you want to avoid the skyliner they offer bus transportation to all the parks from the Art of Animation resort. Just take the short walk over the bridge and you can hop a bus to and from any the parks. I prefer the busses over using the skyliner. Hope this helps.

Is that right: only AoA - not Pop - has buses to/from the parks?

Unless the skyliner is down, Pop does not have buses to Epcot or DHS. AoA has buses to Epcot and DHS even if the Skyliner is running.

Pop always offers buses to the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom only.
Pop offers the skyliner for Epcot and Disney Hollywood Studios only.
If the skyliner is closed for any reason they will offer bussing to all parks then.

If you want to avoid the Skyliner and want a bus, Art of Animation is the only one out of those two resorts that will have buses running to and from Epcot and Disney Hollywood Studios everyday. Pop only offers busses to those parks when the Skyliner is down and not running.

Thanks! I had no idea (and am thankful to avoid the hot walk next month with our teen sons to the bus, and then back to the AoA bus!)

Pop not offering buses to DHS or Epcot is only new since re-opening in Jul 2020. Prior to that Pop offered buses to Epcot and DHS once per hour after the Skyliner opened so depending on when guests were last at Pop, the option to take a bus rather than the Skyliner was there.

I'm thankful they still offer it from AoA for guests who would prefer not to take the Skyliner.

I’m staying at POP next month (29 days!). I’m not too worried about EPCOT transit times, but do y’all think it would be faster for DHS in the morning to a) Skyliner b) walk to AOA for bus or c) take rideshare? Thanks!

That puts POP off my list of places to stay, I'm not a fan of the sky liner. I won't stay at AoA because it costs so much more so I guess if I want to stay at a value, it's the All Stars. I stopped staying at the monorail resorts years ago because the only way to get to Epcot was the monorail unless you went to MK and took a bus from there. I'm not a fan of the monorail either.

For rope drop? Rideshare, Skyliner, then Bus. If rope drop isn't necessarily your goal you can get on the skyliner 15 minutes after opening and will probably be able to walk right through the change at CBR. Especially once they start putting groups together in the gondolas again.

They've been doing that for a while now.
