Theme Park Bus Stops

[TooBoyz4us]

I am looking for info about the park bus stops........

Can anyone tell me in what order, (closest to farthest from the gates) the resort stops are?
For example--are the Deluxe resort bus stops closer to the gates than say the mods or value?

Thanks,Chris

I can tell you the order now, but they are subject to change at any given moment. It should be noted that the stops have nothing to do with Deluxe, Moderate, or Value...

Thankyou Chip n' Dale Express.........

But, I noticed at the MGM and at AK the Polynesian is listed with another resort. Does the Poly share buses with those resorts all the time?
Doesn't that make for crowded buses?

Also, I noticed that MK and Epcot didn't even have a listing for the Polynesian?
Is that because of the monorail?

I am researching bus service for the Poly can you tell?

During the morning Magic On Demand operation, the Contemporary and Polynesian are on typically one route. During the afternoon, the Studios adds the Grand Floridian.

Magic On Demand dispatching allows us to meet the demand. During peak times, one should expect crowds whether it be on the buses, monorails, watercraft, and at park turnstiles.

Yes.

If you are looking for which resorts have the closest bus stops, so as not to have a long walk, the list Tyler posted is for boarding the buses.

If I understand Flex and MOD, if you are coming from the Boardwalk for example, the bus may not pull into the Boardwalk bus stop, and you may have a longer walk.

In other words, the bus that is coming from Resort A may not be going back to Resort A.

Tyler is that right?

You are correct! Depending on what operation we are doing, will determine where the bus pulls into. Typically for MOD, busses will pull into the closest available load zone that they are allowed to unload in. For Flex, they must pull into the load zone in which they got dispatched to.

However... all things said and done... the walk from the furthest bus stop really is nothing, when you consider the length of walking inside the park.

Well I figured since you rattled off the order of the bus loading zones at the four parks that you might as well throw in the stops at the water parks and DTD. Now that would be impressive.

Actually... if you look closely, I did throw in Typhoon Lagoon.

However... Blizzard:

1 - Shades of Green & Hotel Plaza Blvd
2 - Epcot
2 - Studios
2 - AK Lodge
3 - Old Key West
4 - Fort Wilderness
5 - Wilderness Lodge & Grand Floridian
5 - Contemporary & Polynesian
6 - Coronado Springs
6 - Port Orleans
7 - Epcot Resorts
8 - All Stars
9 - Caribbean Beach

It's been at least 4 months since I've driven through Blizzard... they might have changed them for when it reopens.
