Do the Disney buses run

[Deb in IA]

direct to Downtown Disney from the parks after 6 pm?

Do they run from Downtown Disney directly back to the resorts?

Is there a current bus route schedule anywhere?

No. There are never any buses from a theme park to/from DTD.

Yes. All DTD buses run to/from resorts only, from 8:30am-2am.

Every 15 minutes, give or take.

Sometimes it seems to take 30 min for the next downtown disney bus to come. Back in June I waited 30 min. Maybe things have changed a little ? I don't go to Downtown Disney that much.

I "think" you can get a bus from the TTC to DTD but that is as close as you will get from a park. They run from the resorts about every 15 minutes or so as was said although I have had really bad luck catching them from the Boardwalk area resorts, enough to think that maybe they were just trying to keep me there.

One tip, especially in slower "seasons" more buses run for the high end resorts, less for medium, and even less for value. So your wait can depend on what resort you are staying at. At mid in off season our longest wait was 20 minutes I think. Remember they stop at other resorts letting people on and off along the way too. So it adds a little to your travel time.

No bus between TTC and DTD.

Actually my experience is more to AdventurerKat's. The Deluxes (especially the Epcot resorts) service to DTD is hit and miss.

Quite the opposite, actually. Values will *ALWAYS* have more buses.

Not all resorts share buses. My only on-site stays have been at CBR, and CBR's buses ONLY stop at CBR and the intended destination, no other resorts in between.

It seems to me that the bigger resorts that have multiple stops within the resort itself, like CBR, have direct buses, but smaller resorts, like Beach Club, Yacht Club, Swan, Dolphin share buses.
