Did they change the BCV bus service?

when we were there in May we had dedicated BC/Yacht bus service. No BWV/Swan/Dolphin...Sooooooooo nice.
but I have been reading in posts lately about the buses being back to all 5 resorts.
is it all the time? did it change?

thanks

I was there last week and it was hard to figure out.

At Animal Kingdom the pickup was for all 5 resorts. At Magic Kingdom they are separated but on Saturday night they cancelled the BCV /YC bus and put everyone together.

Sometimes we stopped at Boardwalk before going on to Magic Kingdom and sometimes we did not. Coming back from Magic Kingdom we were the last of the five stops and that does get a bit annoying.

But we did not have a wait more than 10 minutes at any point so that was welcome.

We are just back from 10 days at BCV. Almost none of the buses that return to the resort stop at all 5 any more... but it did happen once or twice during slow times of day or maybe returning from a water park.

Being picked up at the resort, it was always Yacht then Beach, and usually also Boardwalk, but it had never stopped at all 5 that we could tell and we almost never had a full bus. It happened only when there was a delay at a peak time such as 5pm going to DD.

Pretty sure the bus routes changes on a demand basis. We were also there in May and sometimes our route went to Swan and Dolphin and other times not, sometimes to the water parks and sometimes not. The bus service is flexible that way.

4th of July week (very busy up to the 4th, not so busy afterward) only 1 bus on our entire trip stopped on the other side of Crescent Lake.

I agree. When we were there in March we were mostly dedicated except when returning from DtD and TL and we stopped at all 5.
