Does anyone know when the buses stop operating?

I dont know the official answer, but I think the "unofficial" answer is when the last guests have left the park.

I say this because I remember a trip a few years back when I was at Epcot, my friends and I had a few too many drinks and kept lingering around the World's Showcase long after the park closed.

By the time we made it back to the bus stops, there were a handful of other guests waiting from various hotels. They basically called one bus that brought us all back and just made several stops to several different resorts.

One of the CMs around the bus stop said they generally run a bus or two after hours to make sure all the guests have been picked up.
 
Well if MK says it's closing at 11, then the rides close at 11 but the park is really open until 12. You can find shopping and some dining for that last hour. But it tapers off as that hour goes on.

You can guess that the buses are still going for that hour and probably a little more.
 
Does anyone know what time buses stop operating?

You did not say WHICH buses.

Certain routes operate until after 2AM.

But, if you mean from the parks, as was said, until all guests are out of the park.
 

We are planning on dining at the Rainforest Cafe at AK just after park closing at 5 pm. Will there be a bus to take us back to the resort after we are done?

Yes.
 
At Typhoon when Security tells us (at Guest Relations) that the Park is clear we contact Transportation. From that time they will not dispatch any additional buses to us. Those that are en route will come and pick up any people who are at the bus stops.

This of course, is great fun for people who have parked their cars for free in our lot and gone to a major Park and find the only way they can get to their car is by taxi, which probably costs more than it would have cost them to park at one of the Theme Parks.
 
At all parks, the buses run until the park is clear of day guests. Those last few stragglers will share with others as we only keep a limited number at the park for those last few guests. Rainforest is the same, buses are available until the last guests have left the restaurant.

Park to park buses run until both parks are clear.

DTD is the exception. Buses at the Marketplace stop around 12 am and then any guests are directed to PI. The PI buses stop at 2am sharp.
