Even first thing in the morning?
I don’t rope drop but do try to get out early. I don’t remember there ever being a separate bus. Because I use a scooter, boarding is more complicated with passengers already on board and I’m also concerned the handicapped spaces will already be full. Haven’t had any issues but it is a worry.
We stayed at GF in summer of 2023 and we always rope drop and we always shared a bus. The bus had always already stopped at Poly, so getting seats was not always a guarantee even if we were first at our stop.
Darn! Since I use an ECV, I don't like being at the second stop. Frankly, I wish I'd chosen to stay at the Poly now.
I'm sure it'll work out fine and it wasn't terrible, but was definitely a negative to us for staying at GF. Glad we tried it once, but don't think we'll be back.
There is a sidewalk path between the Poly and GF. You could take that to the Poly stop or do the monorail loop over
Honestly, I don’t think it’s worth burning your battery scooting over to the Poly on the chance you might have bus issues at GF. I actually have stayed at GF fairly frequently since I own at GFV and the bus drivers seem to make it work… even with the ECV.
