WDW bus route around Boardwalk area resorts

[J'aime Paris]

We are thinking of staying at the BC in Jan. I know the boardwalk area resorts share a bus to MK. Does anyone know the order the bus goes to each resort?

Generally speaking, BW shares buses with the S/D. YC/BC pretty much have their own buses. BUT.....there are some times when they do share a route. Usually mid-day they all combine routes. But for the busier times of day, park opening and closings, BW/S/D are one route and YC/BC are another.
If they do share a route, the bus tends to go to BW, S, D, YC, BC. The route 'could' start with YC though...but my experience has shown BW is usually first. But again, nothing is etched in stone with the buses at WDW.

Last October, we stayed at the Dolphin. It went S/D/YC/BC/BW to MK at about 9:30, definitely before 10. Not exactly what I'd call mid-day and definitely not what I'd call "low season."

We are trying so hard to not rent a car, but this is part of why we may....

That is not a common occurance. BW always shares with S/D, and usually stops at BW first. It is common to see those who missed the bus at BW running over to the Dolphin to get the bus there...have done it myself. Heaven forbid I wait for the next bus.
But, generally speaking, they combine the routes from about 11-3ish. But, obviously deviations can, and do, occur.

We spend most of our time at either Epcot or the Studios so the Epcot resort area is great for us. The ability to walk or boat to either park is fantastic. If you are planning most of your time at either the MK or AK then you will have to use the buses. Personally we never have had any issues with the buses and have had numerous stays at the Yacht Club and Boardwalk.
