Is West Side the same bus as DD?

We wanted to eat at Planet Hollywood and walk around the stores in the West Side, is that the same bus as DD? Does it make 2 stops or do you have to walk the whole length of the DD area?

When the DTD bus pick you up at your resort, the first stop is the shopping area, Disney Marketplace. Then it stops again at the WEst Side, which is near Planet Hollywood. If you wanted to do that first, then you would have to walk to the Marketplace stores and catch the bus there to get back to your resort.

There is also a "water taxi" that will take you from the Markeplace side to the West side.

If you went to Marketplace first you could if you wish to go back to the Marketplace stop and ride the bus to Planet Hollywood. If you went to Planet Hollywod first, there are no buses going directly back to Marketplace.

There is a third bus platform at the far end of Downtown Disny, near Cirque de Soleil, but that is for future use only.

Actually, they used to make three stops at DTD with the buses. One at the Marketplace. One at PI (now the Westside stop) and one near Cirque which was the Westside stop. Now there are only two bus stops.
