Easiest bus rout

[elfandrents]

Does anyone have a suggestion on what is the easiest bus ride for a value or moderate resort. We are only doing 2 days at the parks before a dcl cruise. I am trying to keep the cost down but also am not too crazy about 10 stops before we get to the parks or after. We tend to stay at the French Quarter but wouldn't mind a different change of scenery.

POP or AoA for value, and POFQ for moderate are the only single bus stop resorts.

We have stayed at All Star Movies and at Pop. We thought the bus service at Pop was FAR superior to that at ASM. The main reason was that the bus going to Pop picked up and dropped off only at Pop (Once, after PM EMH until 2 am it did stop at AOA before Pop, but that was the ONLY time it went somewhere else before Pop). When we stayed at ASM, the bus had already picked up people at ASSports and then stopped at ASMusic (or the other way around, I can't remember exactly).

This will give you an idea of how often the All-Stars share.

During my most recent visit to All-Star Sports,I decided to keep a record of my Bus travels.

It takes the Buses about 2 minutes to travel from Sports to Music and about 2 minutes from Music to Movies.

I also did some Park Hopping:
Monorail from TTC to Epcot----9 minutes.
Monorail from Epcot to TTC----7 minutes.
Express Monorail----4 minutes
Friendship between Epcot and DHD----20-30 minutes(We actually did make it in 20 minutes one day!)

POFQ probably your best bet, since it is smaller and only has one bus stop. Pop and AoA have one bus stop, but that means everyone at the resort is also going to that one bus stop, and your room might be a much longer walk to the bus stop compared to a moderate with 3 or 4 stops like POR.

Thanks for the list and everones thought we love the fq we stay there everyother year (dis budget wish it was every year )
All I could remember was sitting on the bus for 1hr coming back from mk going to asm, with 15 stops between the 3 properties, haven't been back there since. But it seems the times have gotten better

I think your memory is playing tricks on you. There is no way you would have made 15 ( or even 10) stops between MK and any AS resort. And barring a major traffic problem, there is no way your travel time would have been an hour.
