I don't understand the schedule.
I am sure it is obvious but I am just not understanding.
What do the numbers and parks mean?
Like AK MK 0/30
What does that mean?

Bus between AK and MK leaves at 0 min and 30 min of the hour.

for example, 10:00 and 10:30, 11:00 and 11:30 (every 30 min)

I use an ECV to get around do they allow ECV on the Express bus?

Yes! We used the express bus at Xmas and mom was in an ECV. The bus service was the best $$ spent with mom in a scooter - no waiting for another bus because there were other ECV's infant of us to load!!

Thank you so much we normally do not park hop but the Express bus will make it a lot more convenient to do so

How do you go about ordering this. I tried finding it on the disney website and was unable to.

Unfortunately it can't be purchased in advance prior to your arrival. Would be nice if you could though....are you listening Disney??

You do it once you arrive. Can be done even at one of the Express bus kiosks within the parks. That's what I did in early March whilst there with my Dad

The reason you can't is the 7 day clock opens as soon as you purchase. You don't want that starting before you arrive. It really takes just 5 min to do it once you get there so it's an easy thing to do later

Granted on the scale of things to stress over stopping by the kiosks is fairly minor still it would be nice to have the Express Transportation work more like park tickets. Buy it ahead of time have it keyed to your Magic Band and the clock starts ticking when you first use it.

So we will get to EPCOT on our arrival day, i should just go to the Express Bus Kiosk and then sign up for the remainder of the trip? Our arrival day is Friday. We really do not need it except for Sunday. Can i still do it on Friday or do I wait to do it on Sunday in AK?

If you only need it for one day, you can save a few $$ by purchasing a one day pass on that one day. So I say wait for Sunday and purchase your pass at AK. Just be sure to allow time for that.

If you're only going to do the one-day ticket and not the 7-day ticket, you don't want to buy it until the day you're going to use it. If you're doing the 7-day and you have less than 7 consecutive park days, then it doesn't matter.

Opinion?

During my early June trip, I'll be having dinner in Disney Springs before heading back for a nighttime visit to Animal Kingdom/Pandora. I'm wondering if it would be faster to hop over to Epcot, pass security there and then Express bus over to Animal Kingdom to avoid what I expect will be long security lines filled with people park hopping into Pandora at night.

It's possible. I'd monitor reports of crowds when it opens to see what the reports are. All the parks can be iffy at night, with folks coming in just for the nighttime entertainment. Epcot has as bad backups at security as AK does, at times. But, it does have the bus stop that is closest to the front of the park so yeah, if I was going somewhere to use their express bus, Epcot is probably the one I'd choose.

Check the EPCOT-Animal Kingdom schedule on this thread for departure times, so that you can coordinate. If you miss a departure, the next bus will be 30 minutes later. The Express check-in location at EPCOT is not far from the front entrance of the park. The current drop-off at AK is behind Harambe Theatre.

strongly considering using this in june but i have a question - there are two locations at each park for pickup - how do you know which one to go to when you are ready to leave?

 

[Stuarotra]

We will be coming in Friday evening. We plan to go to Disney Springs for dinner. Can we purchase the express tickets at the guest relations desk there???
