Over the last few years I always drove to Disney Springs, was just easier for DS. A few years ago we took the bus and I was SHOCKED that there was no security check. How easy it would be for a "bad person" to come in via that route. It's bad enough Disney Springs is usually packed and uncomfortable for me, but such a big loophole was a big concern. We stopped going. I have only returned once in years (last month without my DS who is disabled). Even then just ate and left because I didn't feel safe there.
I agree. I remember the lines when they had a Covid checkpoint set up there. It felt like it took forever to get through because of the volume of guests arriving by bus. I hope they are able to do it in such a way that it is both thorough and quick. I don’t mind them doing it, but I do mind waiting 20 minutes to get into a shopping center.
It just started in the last day or 2.
I don’t see any way to avoid the security for bus transfers without opening up another loophole. You would have to put up barricades that allow people to enter the bus depot, but not change their minds and decide to return to shopping, eating, or a last minute bathroom break once they have reached the buses. They probably decided they would have fewer complaints from people having to go through security prior to a bus transfer than if they told people they couldn’t go back to DS once they reach a certain point without going through security a second time.
Seriously! Scan whatever you want but don't touch my stuff with the same gloves you've been wearing all day.
They would have to rework every single resort bus stop. That's a much larger undertaking.
And screening isn’t needed at the resorts if going to a theme park - the theme parks already have their security checkpoints all worked out.
