Saratoga Springs Bus Service to Disney Springs?

[reddog]

Quick question that I'm trying to confirm the answer for - are there buses from Saratoga Springs to Disney Springs? Do they run regularly or only when boat service is not available?

I've seen some conflicting info and just trying to find out from folks who have recently been there.

Thanks in advance!

There is bus service. And the SSR has one of the first bus stops at DS.

I was there this weekend and we saw buses running to Disney Springs. It surprised me since I thought I had seen reports of them stopping the bus service.

In case you have previously stayed at SSR but not recently please note that it takes at least twice as long to get to Disney Springs as it used to since they finished construction and moved the disney springs bus stop area. We had previously stayed at SSR (May 2015) and the bus service to Disney springs was quick but last month it took so much longer. They used to exit the resort back by the congress park area and head the mile or so down the road to the old bus area so it was very convenient. Now with the new bus area they exit SSR from the main entrance and then circle all the way around past Old Key West to get to the other side of Disney springs with the new bus area. What previously took about 5 minutes is more like 15 now. We simply walked back from Disney Springs to avoid another lengthy trip as we had a long wait for the bus to even show up in the first place.

Thanks for the help - pretty important info about the "roundabout" way to Disney Springs.

No problem-honestly if you are staying in (most of) Paddock, Congress Park, or the Springs it is probably faster to walk (assuming that your party can do so). With the bus wait it took us about 30-35 minutes to get there from the time we reached the bus stop but only about 15 minutes or so to walk back to the Paddock area from the marketplace area (we were walking pretty leisurely)
