Is there still bus transportation from the resorts to the parks that have Skyliner service?

I'm interested in the Art of Animation specifically. I think we may prefer using buses because we will have two scooters and we want to ride together. I know we may have to wait for a second bus to have two spots for scooters on the bus. Skyliner only allows one scooter per compartment. Also, we are a party of 8 and we would like to be together and with one scooter only 6 people are allowed to be in one Skyliner.

I'm thinking Disney would have continued bus service to the parks but using fewer buses. Does anyone know the time schedule? Is it ever half hour to catch a bus or is it longer?

Does anyone have direct experience with the buses since the skyliners have started?

Prior to Skyliner, opening time bus transportation is frequent, about 15-20 minutes. After Skyliner opening buses running to DHS and Epcot are scheduled less frequently, about every 60 minutes. No direct experience, just what others are saying...

I understand that you wish to ride together, but honestly, the Skyliner rides are so short that one scooter each in a cabin shouldn't be too bad. The Skyliner is a lot more efficient than the buses; you won't wait long, if at all, to get on. Bear in mind that the only parks the Skyliner services are DHS and Epcot. You have to transfer at CBR for both of those coming from AOA. You have to take buses to MK and AK.

Honestly, stick with the Skyliner when you can. You can all meet up immediately when you get off.

We just returned from Art of Animation. The Skyliner wasn't running early enough in the morning for rope drop (8am opening at DHS). Buses to DHS before opening were very frequent; I was really impressed with the bus service. At other times, the bus displays at the stops simply said "Use Skyliner." As far as I've heard, there's no actual schedule for buses from Skyliner resorts to Epcot and DHS after the Skyliner starts operating for the day. There *are* buses, so if you want to wait, you can, it may just take a while.

Somewtimes they are listing Epcot and/or DHS Bus times at the Skyliner Resorts and sometimes they are not-it seems to be hit and miss.
