POR transportation

The bus monitors are close to when they arrive. We've never had an issue with the buses. I've seen people show up at the main stop and start complaining right away. If you can't handle a short wait then drive.

In our two stays, the only time we've really had to wait was leaving a park at closing. We've learned to just find a bench and get a snack and chill in the park while the crazy crowds wait in line for buses, and make our way out once things calm down. From the looks of the lines at all the stops at park closing, I don't think POR is better / worse than any of the others. It really is a gorgeous resort - we love how calm it feels!

View attachment 104255 View attachment 104256 I definitely agree that POR needs more buses. They were always fine going to the parks, never waited to long. But going back at night was another story. I did feel like every other moderate resort was picked up twice in the time we were picked up once. But that didn't stop us from choosing to stay at POR again last summer. I think it is probably the most beautiful resort. It is so peaceful and quiet there. I loved the river and we really enjoyed walking through the the resort in the morning. For us as long as the buses got us to the parks okay, we didn't mind how long they took to get us back. We only ever waited 15min in the morning. For us personally, I would stay at POR, it's worth it for the beauty of the resort. We just bought into DVC, and we've already said that we're going to miss POR.

Those are gorgeous pictures! Thanks for sharing

We have never had a bus issue at POR...stayed many times. The buses are not better, no worse than other resort buses. When waiting for a bus, at park closing, everyone thinks the other resorts have more frequent buses!!! Everyone! No resort has fewer buses running......the transportation people fully understand how many guests they need to service at any given time and send out the appropriate number of buses.
Please, do not choose a resort based on 'horror stories' you may have read. For every horror story, you will find many more good reports. People tend to post when they are unhappy about a situation!
If you stayed at CBR and had no issues, POR isn't going to be any different.

You know, that is something that I take into account every time I look up reviews on things, people are more likely to write a negative review over a good one, but I expect everyone to love disney and only say awesome things all the time! lol Thanks for the reminder

I totally agree! We learned this the first trip (to just chill back while everyone else rushes out and wait for it to get calm), we saw ALL the lines at park closing to be crazy long. I think consistency was more of the concern I had but that can be a problem anywhere, the beauty is worth the risk!

I totally agree. We are pretty patient people, especially in our happy place. When people make it sound SO bad though, you can't help but wonder lol

If they stress on buses can you imagine when it comes to adrs and fp+.
