POR bus question?

[sarehm]

If I recall the buses stop at POFQ prior to coming to POR. Does anyone know where the first stop is in POR? It's been a few years since I've been to this property but I always remember the buses being super full by the time they got to our stop. I want to call and request certain buildings but not sure how the bus routes go. Thanks!

From all that I've read on these boards, the buses usually go to POFQ first then to POR alternatively, some on these boards have said that additional buses are being used because there is such a log jam at POR when people are trying to get out to the parks and returning from the parks. Hope they get it cleared up before our vacation LOL.

The buses do go to POFQ first.
When it's super busy - like first thing in the morning - the two resorts have different buses.
We've stayed at both resorts and never had an issue with the buses.

It sounds to me like you understand that the bus goes to POFQ first then on to POR, and what you are asking about is the stops at POR? If so, here is the order of stops at POR after making the first stop at POFQ.

South Depot (by the main building)
West Depot
North Depot
East Depot

If I remember correctly, for DTD, the bus runs through the stops at POR first, then heads over to POFQ before heading to DTD.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

When we went in Sept. I remember the last stop was the
South Depot (Main Bus stop). Everyone seemed to go
to that one because they had just finished eating at either
Boatwrights(TS) or Rivermill (CS) and were then heading
to the parks. Most of the time we caught the bus by out
bldg (we were in the Mansions) and I think we had the
North Depot. Whenever we would get on there we only a few people
on the bus and we always had a seat. Whenever we would
reach the South Depot the was alway a large crowd waiting.
I have read that the route changes though and I guess it
depends on what time of the year and how busy it is.
There was alway one bus after the other, so if one was
full there was another on its way.

I agree. I was just there this past January. I stayed at Mansions and got on bus at North Depot - only a few people, by the time we reached South Depot - crowds galore. It was insane. And this was during a quiet time of year. I only took the bus one time and that was to MK. I swore never again. Next time I will drive car to EPCOT and then ride monorail to MK.
