Disney Transportation/Times

[onmyway2]

We’re using the Disney buses from airport to PC and to our resort on disembarkation day.

Online checkin is opening soon and I’m wondering how this works with port arrival times. Will I still be asked to chose a time even though I’m using their bus?

also has anyone used their transport back to the resorts? I’m wondering what time we may get to the resort at. We’re staying at BC, would be be in Epcot for 10 do you think?

Thanks.

You will still be asked for a PAT, at least we were, but it is negated since you are on the bus and you will go right in when your bus arrives. Can't address the bus back to WDW.

The busses back to WDW depart either when they are full or at 9AM, whichever comes first. If you disembark early and you are lucky enough to be on a popular route, you could depart PC around 7:45 and be on the WDW grounds at 8:30. Then there’s the question of the number of resorts covered on your particular route that day. If you are staying at the first resort, you could be in the lobby at 8:45. That would be the best-case scenario.

If you are assigned to a route with very few guests, you could depart only at 9, be at the first resort at 10 and at yours no earlier than 11:30 if you are staying at the last resort. That’s the worst-case scenario.

In both scenarios, you would need to check-in or at least manage your belongings with bell services, than make your way to Epcot. From BC, it would take around 10-15 minutes to be at the International gateway.

DCL usually suggests not booking anything in the parks before 12:30
