Order of Bus Stops at Parks

[TylerJ]

Does anyone know the order of the bus stops to/from the resorts at each of the parks? I mean, are the deluxe resort bus stops closer to the parks and the values the furthest?

Not always. At some places they are further and others closer. Seems like there is little method to the madness.

No such scheme. The bus stops aren't organized like that. Its different at each park but even then, the stops change from time to time. I wouldn't pick a resort based on the location of the bus stop.

Totally agree. Plus, on the way to the parks, the bus will stop wherever there is an open stop so you could be staying at a value resort and get left off at the Grand Floridian bus stop. That wouldn't be the case coming back so you just have to check the bus stop sign before you walk to the area where you need to be. My husband and I never know the exact area for our value choice until we look on the way out.

We have had different pick up spots at a park on the same trip.

yes, it definitely changes. However the powers that be make the decision, it is made frequently.

Perhaps the entire point is to randomize the stops?

Coronado Springs has great bus stop locations at each park. Pop is usually the one the farthest out.

Just wondering. It seems like if you pay more, the transportation would be better. I've never stayed at a value and wondering because I'm thinking of staying value this year.

You might think so but at Disney for bus transportation purposes all resorts are equal.

Well, it's generally "better" at deluxes in that you get more options. Monorail or boat service to some parks, the ability to walk to some parks.

At almost every park Art of Animation was near the very end. I figure that's a result of it being the newest resort added.

I have seen no method to the madness, either. We have stayed value, moderate, and and deluxe, and the bus stop number for the resorts seemed completely random. If you look at the resorts listed, you will see values that are close and deluxes that are far. As a pp said, the stop has changed for the same resort within the same trip for us (maybe they switch once a week?). I have tried to figure out their system, and they may very well have one, but it is not obvious. Pretty much wherever we stay, it seems that our bus stop is always the least convenient. Murphy's Law may be their system.

I don't get it, and it does change some as most signs made to change. I will say at DHS & Epcot, POP (which we stay often) is usually the last one ... but at MK we always chuckle that CBR almost always is after us (and AoA). AK seems like their signs are more permanent but with the new depot area there imagine it changes.

Here is a MK example which seems common to our trips.

I like how it's in mostly alphabedical order. For some reason, The Contemporary was put at the end. YC&BC was put before Wilderness.
