Many folks have asked questions about the buses and eating other places, and general park hopping. I hop around a lot, so I thought I would list where I went and how this last weekend to illustrate how easy it is.
I arrived at Pop Century about 4ish on Friday.
I got on a bus to Epcot and experienced some of the Food and Wine Festival.
I left Epcot about 7pm and took the monorail to Magic Kingdom for the Halloween Party. At the TTC, the line for the Express Monorail looked pretty long, so I hopped on the resort monorail and got on right away.
I left the Halloween party about 11:00 pm and walked to Contemporary and caught a bus for Downtown Disney and went to Pleasure Island. I left Pleasure Island about 1:45 am and took a bus back to Pop Century.
Saturday:
I took a bus at 7:00 am to Animal Kingdom and then the driver dropped me directly at Animal Kingdom Lodge for breakfast at Boma.
I then took a bus about 8:15 am to Animal Kingdom and did a couple of attractions at Animal Kingdom.
About 10:30 am, I went over to the bus area to go to Epcot. There was an Epcot load zone, and a TTC load zone. I got on the TTC bus that arrived first. I then took the monorail to Epcot. I experienced the F&W Festival for a couple of hours and made some purchases and rode Ellen's Energy (and took a nap), and rode Spaceship Earth.
I then took a bus back to Pop Century and dropped off my purchases, and changed shirts, checked on my Magical Express departure information, and called luggage services for them to pick up my bag the next day.
I then took a bus to Disney Studios and experienced the Great Movie Ride, Lights, Motors, Action, and Millionaire.
I then took a bus to Saratoga Springs and got off at Congress Park stop and walked over to Downtown Disney and had dinner at Ragland Road, then went over to Pleasure Island and spent the rest of the evening at Adventurers Club.
Sunday:
I took a Studios bus at about 7:15 am and the driver took me directly to Beach Club for breakfast at Cape May. He also dropped a guest directly off at Carribbean Beach.
After breakfast, I walked to the bus stop at Beach Club. It was still early, and no park had Extra Magic Hour that morning, so I asked a driver what the LAST stop before heading to the parks was on the Epcot resort loop. He told me Boardwalk, so instead of getting on the bus at Beach Club, I spent the early morning wandering around the lake and proceeded to Boardwalk.
Unfortunately, each driver may do things differently, as on our way to Magic Kingdom, this driver also stopped at Swan and Dolphin.
I arrived at Magic Kingdom right at opening and experienced the train, Carousel of Progress, Philharmagic, Small World, and Cinderellabration, then headed back to the bus stop at 11 am to go to Pop Century to depart for the airport.
There were very few waits for transportation and I NEVER stood on a bus.
