Disney Buses Do they check?

[mamajo]

Can you board a Disney bus at anytime, anywhere to go from one park to another without proving you're staying at a Disney Resort? I just wonder what you need to prove you're "Disney" or do they not care? I want to have everything we need to get around without hassle.
Thanks!

Anyone can ride Disney transport, so they do not check for resort IDs, park tickets or anything.

Disney buses/transport are available to everyone, regardless as to where they're staying...

I have only been asked for Resort ID on 2 occasions when boarding Disney Transportation. (This is in over 40 trips over 12 years.)

Both times have been at closing time of the Magic Kingdom.

The first time I was heading to the Grand Floridian for dinner and wanted to board the resort monorail. They asked for my resort ID.

The 2nd time I was heading to the Polynesian for dinner and wanted to board the boat that goes to GF and Poly. I WAS NOT a resort guest (short offsite trip), but told them I had dinner reservations at the Poly and was allowed to board.

When large numbers of people are trying to leave the Magic Kingdom, they sometimes restrict "resort transportation" to resort guests.

One other time I was entering the TTC early one morning. There was actually someone at the gate asking to see park tickets or resort IDs. I'm guessing if someone didn't have either of those, they would direct them back to the ticket booths there at the TTC. However, if someone insisted that they were just going to one of the resorts to dine, I'm sure they would have been allowed through. I think it was more of a courtesy to make sure guests had the tickets they needed before proceeding.

Not positive, kind of new to Disney since I married my Wife who loves Disney but I believe you can not go from Park to Park on a bus, you must first go to one of the resorts and then catch another bus to the park you chose to go to next.

There is transportation between parks. At MK, you have to take the monorail, or ferry, over to the TTC. There you can hop on the monorail to Epcot or take a bus to DHS or AK. At Epcot, monorail to MK, bus to AK, bus, walk or boat to DHS.
From DHS, boat, walk or bus to Epcot, bus to MK(TTC) and AK.
AK, bus to MK (TTC), Epcot, DHS.

You can not get a bus to, or from, the parks and DTD....no buses run between them.
