Pop Buses

[bugsbuni70]

I am staying at POP next week. I was wondering how the buses run and when is the best time to leave at night to avoid the crowds.?:

There is no set schedule for the buses. They run continuously throughout the day...generally every 20-30 minutes maybe less depending on the crowds.

Of course the mornings will be a bit busy, so if you are going to a park for its opening, I would be at the bus stop about an hour before the park opens. The buses are pretty crowded when the parks close, especially the MK after Wishes, Epcot after Illuminations and MGM after Fantasmic. What I have found it that I just hang back after the fireworks or shows are over and sit have an ice cream or a snack and wait for the crowds to thin out. Or you can leave just before the fireworks etc are over and get ahead of the crowds.

You will find the POP buses run pretty effeciently...about every 15 minutes are so in the morning from POP to the parks. At night, the parks empty following the fireworks. So...you have two choices....1. leave the park before the fireworks start, or 2. hang out for 30 mins or so, while the park empties after the fireworks. You can grab a Mickey bar and sit and people watch. Then make your way to the buses.

The bus from MK to POP is always pretty busy. The worst time to ride is midway thru Wishes to about 45 minutes after.

I always recommend either leaving just before Wishes starts or wait at least a hour after. Don't worry, You will be able to get a bus up until MK is determined to be clear of guests.

We stayed at POP in February and found that its bus service was the very best we've experienced at WDW. We've stayed at a few deluxe resorts and all of the moderates. For our return in August, we're going back to POP.

And, as a lawyer, I just had to laugh at Cranbiz's disclaimer. I absolutely love it. I would steal parts of it, but I fear I'd be sued for misappropriation of a valuable IP product.

Our resident CMs just can't be too careful when DISing!! I love having them here to offer some really good insights.
