Question. . .are the buses normally fully by the time they get to the North Cove Rd (Hospitality House) stop? Thanks.
Sometimes. Usually in the morning when everyone is heading to the parks at the same time. You can take a quick walk across the bridge to the 1st stop on Peninsular Rd.
You can also get off the first stop at Peninsular Rd instead of waiting for the last stop at Hospitality house. The walk over the bridge is very easy. Sure beats waiting for the last stop.
some EMH for MK the buses would be packed. Some times it would not even have room for anyone at hospitality house. We would hop the EPCOT bus and monorail over to MK. It seems probably about the same time length but definitely not crowded on the bus.
Note that if you are trying to make park open, there is nearly always plenty of room. It's later in the morning when things pick up.Usually in the morning when everyone is heading to the parks at the same time.
When we go in August we find the EMH morning bus to be packed- beyond pack. and this is before the park even opens. so we opt for EPCOT if we want to get to MK. It sure beats the crowded bus.
Last year it seemed to be that they packed too many people on the buses.
