Polynesian or Contemporary?

Polly shares buses with Grand Floridian too, just FYI

Hmm never shared when I stayed at POLY or GF but every single time I got on a bus at CR there were people from WL and every time before heading back to CR we dropped off at WL.

We stayed at GF last summer and GF and Poly shared the buses stopping at Poly first then GF second for departure and return. So it may impact Poly less since they get dropped off and picked up first but you won’t be going directly to the park, you’ll have to stop at GF before you head out.
And then we stayed at Riviera 2 weeks ago, and at the parks and Disney Springs I noted that GF and Poly were still sharing buses then too. I took special note of that because we are planning a return trip to GF so wanted to know if the buses were still shared.

Wonder if that's a newer development.
I stayed CR last summer but the summer before that I stayed GF and the summer before that at POLY.

it might be based on volume? Like how POR and POFQ sometimes share in the middle of the day?

When we stayed at Poly we definitely shared with GF but we're rarely moving in time for rope drop.

Poly and GF have always shared buses. Poly picks up first, then GF, then to the parks. On the way back drops off at Poly first then GF.

In the peak morning rush it’s somewhat common to see them just picking up at one or the other since it can get full at Poly, making the next stop at GF pointless. You could easily time it right/be lucky over the course of any given stay where they’re operating like this and not experience a stop at GF.

I’ve never seen them not shared on the return from any park - that would be an unusual/uncommon setup.
