New Express Transportation: $19/day or $29/week-SERVICE ENDING AUGUST 23RD 2017

[AngiTN]

Arrived at mk at 2:20. They have a small tent with strollers and wc ready. Nothing exciting here, just a parking lot but I do wonder if there's a possibility of seeing Buzz when he goes back

Bus from mk to dhs on 20 and 50

I had a thought maybe, based on where you said it is. That said, he shouldn't be headless in that area, he'd just be Buzz with his handler

I'm curious how much time you think you're saving on this trip (from AK to MK) vs. had you needed to exit the park and get the regular bus over to the MK and go through the security check? That's if you assume the time you spend waiting for the bus once you're at the stop is the same I guess...lol

Did you ask if this can be purchased at Guest Services at the hotels? I'll buy it tomorrow night so I'm ready for Saturday if so!

Thanks a million for doing this - great report!!!!

You can buy it at your hotel at the concierge or travel planning desk
As for time saved
It took 19 minutes from ak to mk.
Assuming you are by the safari, the walk to the bus stop would be about a 10 minute, steady walk. Then let's say your lucky and the bus is there, that's a 20 minute bus drive, then walk from bus stop, through bag check and touch pad I would say add another 10 minutes
So, if the bus is there, you save 20 minutes, if the bus is not there that number would be anywhere from 25 to 45 minutes more

Yes. The backstage door is right there so buzz wouldn't have to wait at all to go backstage, inside

What do you call "folks out of character"?
If that means a fur or face character, no.
If you mean a CM that is off duty and as such (which is technically out of character), maybe not ready for "show", yes, possibly.

I saw cm eating lunch, on their phones and one smoking, that's about the extent of it

Do we know if the seven days expire? If I use three days now, can I save the remaining for my next trip? I'm an AP and I'll be staying on site for two trips in January.

I wonder if they have the timing for buzz to go on breaks different then earn the buss are there and if something happens and buzz need to go back stage then that is when they will say something happened to the buss and it will be X amount of time. ( you know enough for buzz to get some where or what ever he needs

@Selket getting different answers on the option to buy at your resort, just asked again and they said, for this month, only at the parks

 

[yulilin3]

Sitting on the bus headed to dhs at 3:50, had the option to wait inside the park or on the bus. 3 people in total, so far for this trip

I will ask at the next stop

How are they planning to handle the long delay of scooter boarding. Is that on their radar?

An experienced driver can load a scooter in about 3 to 5 minutes, i don't think that will be an issue

7 days only available for the next 14 days of stay, not for next trip

So at DHS Ijust asked and the last bus is at 7pm not after Fantasmic. When I told them about the fact that fantasmic ends at 7:30 they told me that as of now that's the schedule but they are still testing it out

The sad state of DHS makes me want to sob sometimes too...

I was thinking @yulilin3 sobbed because she finally made it "home!!"

No problem - I'll ask tomorrow evening and see what they say. It doesn't sound like we'd see a long line to buy it on Saturday at the park.

I think the time savings for bag check could be substantial when the park is busy! It will just be nice to not have to deal with it.

Thanks for posting!

I see the discrepancy in usage. $24 for 7 consecutive days may have already been tweaked to any 7 days within a 14-day time period as reported by @yulilin3.

So far I'm loving this service, the only big negative would be the lack of transportation after F! I don't even think i would make it if I watch jbjb.but I'm hoping they change the time, and I'm sure they will since all 3 other parks might still be open most of the time
Full review later tonight with pictures and my thoughts
