Dumb question....but are there park to park buses?

[mesaboy2]

When I was there in September of last year, they had a bus from AK to DTD. I believe the sign did say it was a temporary trial though. Have they stopped running this route now?

Yes. Temporary as you recall.

Fifteen minutes tops. It really doesn't take much more than 20 minutes to get anywhere on property via bus--the main variable is the wait for the bus.

Thanks. where are the resort to resort bus stops located? are they closer to the value or deluxe resort bus stops?

No bus from MK to DTD? :-(

Make the short walk to the Contemporary from MK and get aboard the DTD bus.

Assuming you mean park to park. They are among the same bus stops as the others--I've never noticed a pattern as to whether they are closer or further away. All of them can change bus stops anyway.

How about from hotels to DTD? Like Pop Century or All Star Music

There are regular buses leaving from marked bus stops at all resorts, just like the parks. I believe the DTD routes also serve Typhoon Lagoon.

There may be some resorts that do not have DTD buses because there is water transportation instead (Saratoga Springs, Old Key West, Port Orleans).

This is very true. When we were there May 5-10 we wanted to hop a bus from Epcot to AK around 3:30 to ride EE (app showed us wait times for EE were just 10 min and we weren't planning an AK visit on this short trip), we didn't get into the park until about 4:10. We must have just missed the AK bus and it was around the 20 min mark waiting when DH suggested we just go hop in a cab, the cab stand was right in front of our bus stop. But just then the AK bus rolled up.

We did however take a cab back from AK to the Dolphin to save time so we could shower and get to our dinner ADR. Was a great decision, we were at the resort in less than 10 min, no waiting for a resort bus then sitting through the stops at BWI, Swan before ours, saved us a bunch of time.

Would there be a bus from Boardwalk Inn to DTD? I will want to go from ESPN Club (Go Panthers!) to DTD (Yay Ragland Road)!. I will not be using a park ticket, so I am thinking that I could not walk through EPCOT to the buses. So that leaves walk/sail to DHS and then to DTD. Right?
Would love to get bus from Boardwalk Inn directly to DTD.

Not exactly directly judging by my experience earlier this month. I boarded the DTD/TL bus at the Dolphin (it must have started at Swan), we proceeded to YC/BC stop, then BWI, then TL... assuming it went on to DTD after TL.

Yes, you can bus from boardwalk inn to DTD. It may make other stops, but it will go to DTD. Be aware that buses out of DTD can be few and far between, so coming back is often much more challenging than getting there.

Nope. (First of all, you can't get to DTD from the bus stops of Epcot or DHS.)

What you DO want to do is…
Exit ESPN Club (#1 on the map below), walk to (and directly through the entryway) of Boardwalk Resort (#8)
and follow the sidewalk to your left to Boardwalk's Bus Stop (#21.)
Board the DTD bus.
