DVC bus routes

[WILDERNESS FAN 55]

I am a new owner to DVC with OKW my home resort. Pretty much have read all info on their bus system(internal routes and theme parks) Is there anyhwere here that has a comprehensive list of DVC resorts and who they share transport with ? Thinking of add on already and it might be the BCV or BWV area. Have read some bad things on the bus system though to get anywhere also hearing the parking sucks but thats not major concern. Thanks for the help . Thinking of staying at one of those in DEC

Bus service to both BWV and BCV is similar to what is seen elsewhere. Depending on the time of the day, they might share among all the EPCOT resorts, however don't view this as a negative.

Remember, you only need a bus to go to MK and AK from those two resorts. Coming back to either resort you can easily grab the first bus to any of the EPCOT resorts and walk to the others.

When we were there over Xmas, YC & BC shared a bus while BW shared with Swan and Dolphin. They might share during slow times, but during busy hours I see it as seperate buses.

I own at BWV...and you know what??? I was so happy that I owned there and not at OKW after staying at OKW for just one night and using their buses!!! We spent as much time within the resort, on that bus, as we did getting to the resort from Epcot!!!
No one resort, DVC or otherwise, is going to have substantially better bus service than any other. You may have wonderful transportation experiences at one resort, and then, out of the blue, a miserable one!!

Buy DVC at a resort that you want to stay at...not for it's transportation. I love the ability to walk to either Epcot or DHS. The buses to DTD, AK and MK are just fine. Yes, we share a route with the S/D, and sometimes with YC/BC. But, when you compare that to the multiple stops within a resort like OKW or SSR, well....it all evens out.

This is important for another reason, because however unlikely it is, transportation is not a guarantee of any resort; Disney could elect to discontinue bus service to a specific resort or to all resorts (granted dues would then be adjusted).

Well I did buy where I wanted to stay. OKW has the largest rooms(2BR) 200 to 300 sq ft more than any resort which I will be renting a lot. I rent a car 99% of the time so... As a 2nd resort I thought BWV or BCV due to (what every owner says) is the easy access to EC and DHS. MK is still my favorite park so I'm covering all bases when doing my research. I already have eliminated AKL and SSR.Just don't like the "theme". Next to research is BLT and VWL ! Keep your comments and experiences coming !

HIGHLY unlikely, but you're right it is possible.

I own at both BWV and BLT. I love, love, love BLT. Yes, the villas are smaller, but man, the proximity to MK is unbeatable!!!! You can just hop on the monorail to the TTC and then transfer to the Epcot line!! Pretty convenient. And walking to MK is sooooo wonderful.
