Is Disney still running articulated buses?

[Clifton Tesh]

The title asks it all...

I'm a huge transportation vehicle nerd and intend on traveling on every form of transportation Disney offers. Sadly, the sky liner closes the day after we start our trip but I will be able to ride it at least once so I will be ok.

The true purpose of this post though is to find out whether or not Disney is still running articulated buses. They were using them when I was last there on 2016 but I've not seen any in anyone's videos or pictures in the last couple of years.

They are still using them but AFAIK they're only ever in use for Pop and AoA.

Awesome! Works for me! We are staying at Pop so that's perfect! Thank you!

They must be much more uncommon because I haven't seen them on our last few trips. May be because we aren't park open or close types though, which is likely the times they are needed vs. mid-day
Just something to keep in mind.

We're going to be there 9 days so hopefully I'll find me one.

We drive our own vehicle everywhere and if I have to, I'll follow one if I see it

Once the Skyliner closes for maintenance, you may see more of them at Pop because they'll be needed to transport guests to DHS and Epcot, especially at opening and closing times as mentioned above.

The All Stars seem to use them a lot as well - hang out at the MK bus station around rope drop and after fireworks, and I'll bet you'll see them then.

The articulated buses run from Magic Kingdom and can be used at a few different resorts including Riverside and Caribbean. However as of last week they were only running to Pop, Art and All Star resorts. You are free to ride one to a resort and back to Magic.

They used them regularly for AOA when we were there from 12/17-12/24.

They still have them, mainly for value resorts.

I rode one in 2019 from AoA. You could take the Skyliner to AoA and take one somewhere, LOL.

Deluxe has added the coach style buses, like the kind that used to be the Magical Express. AKL in particular is running them. This is an issue, because they are not accessible at all.

CSR was using the coach style buses as well when I stayed there in July 2021.

So we got here and got settled in, hopped on the skyliner to CBR then headed to HS, caught a bus from HS to the contemporary, took the monorail to the poly to get some dole whip, then took the monorail to the MK, walked over to the bus depot to catch a bus back to Pop and POOF! it showed up just for me

Pretty sure I covered all the forms of WDW transportation besides a boat and tram today but we're going to HDD in just a few so a boat is probably going to happen sometime today!

Got the boat!
