Does Disney Spring bus from BCV drop you off near House of Blues?

[bobbiwoz]

I do use a walker, so want to know if it’s a reasonable walk!

Thanks.

It's a pretty decent walk from the buses to House of Blues. Buses drop off around the middle of DS, while HOB is near the Cirque building on the west end. If you have any comfort level with ride share options, there is a Lyft/Uber drop-off point on the west side which is closer and simpler to get you to HOB. If you prefer the buses, just allow some extra time to make the walk - there will be options for you to take a break along the way if you need it! Hope you enjoy your dinner!

The buses drop you off at Town Center and House of Blues is in the West Side. I would say, depending on your pace and the crowds you have to walk through, it's probably a 5-15 minute walk.

Thank you both!! we are doing both House of Blues and Cirque with friends. They will be able to drive my DH and me.

Will the parking for Cirque be relatively convenient to the show??

To add to this, what times are the boats usually operating? I’m considering a stay at Saratoga for my next trip, but my siblings and I did Disney Springs last Sunday from 10am to noon and we didn’t seem to see any of the boats ferrying guests over.

The DS taxi boats that used to take guests from one end of DS to the other haven't returned (yet). All the resort boats (SSR, OKW, FQ) dock at the Marketplace dock, and you're on your own to walk to your DS destination from there. I'm not sure how to find out the resort boats' schedules - according to the WDW website, their operating hours vary, so you'd have to check at SSR when you're there.

There is a surface lot near Cirque.
There is also Ride Share drop off near it. If that's something you'd want to do.
Really that's the only options for parking/drop off near House of Blues/Cirque. Everything else is sort of a haul.
Personally, I'd use Ride Share to go there.

The boats do still run for the POR resorts for certain. Not sure if they run from SSR since it's really a very easy walk to where the boat's dock. We've always just walked

The SSR boat is running too. Not all sections of SSR are close enough for "everyone" (like us oldies) to walk to DS!

Thanks guys!

Ha, I walk 10+ miles a day at my job and I’m the go-go-go type at Disney, but the people I go to Disney with are mere mortals and complain about their feet blistering up and going numb after what I consider not-that-much-walking I try to make it easy for them. Making sure they bring comfortable shoes next time and every convenience they might need

The posters I quoted know this...for the benefit of others You can't use the map to determine walking distances from the dock. You have to walk behind stores to get through security. Security is near BBB, basically where guests walking from DS resorts exit the bridge.

I think OP means Disney resort buses - she’s a DVC owner, posts frequently on DVC forums here.

Yes, we are all staying at BCV, and I was thinking originally that we could take the Disney Springs bus from there. So, I edited the title.
Thank you.

Ah, we bus to the main lobby building at SSR then walk to DS

Try getting off at the Congress Park stop. It's a shorter walk - see map.
