WDW Marathon Weekend Expo - Bus from BC/YC/BW Area

[kareneast]

Does each resort in the BC/YC/BW area have their own bus to the expo or do the resorts share buses? If they are shared buses, which resort is the last stop before heading to WWoS?

We are planning on Scream Teaming at Epcot for the Half on Saturday & then need to get to WWoS for the Kids Races. Figured the fastest way would be to head out through the International Gateway and take a bus from one of the Boardwalk Area Resorts.

Thanks!

Not sure what time the kids races are on Saturday but I am pretty sure those resorts all share a bus along with the Swan and Dolphin to the Expo but I am not exactly sure since I didn't take the bus to the expo when we stayed there the last time. If anything I would suggest going to either Beach Club or Boardwalk to catch the bus from there to the expo. BC is the closest to the International Gateway and depending on the way the bus goes around the resort circle it will probably pick up at Boardwalk last - but don't quote me on that.

I have no idea I'll be staying at the Swan for this year's race so I guess I'll find out in just under a month

Busses are shared by all resorts on the Epcot Resort Loop. At peak times the route may be split so it is Swan and Dolphin on one and BW and YC on the other, but most of the weekend you visit all resorts. The loop would have WV as the last resort.

As far as spectating the half then getting to the kids races, most likely you will not be able to walk through Epcot - that is unless you wait until after 9.

I would think that if you want to get to WWoS fast a better bussing opportunity would be to catch the Pop Bus (either Disney regular or Marathon) and then transfere to an Expo bus at Pop.... It is much closer to WWoS and you do not burn a day on a pass

Thanks all for your replies/thoughts! Upon further research the expo doesn't open until 10am on Saturday (kids race is at 11am - grandson will be in first group) so expo buses will start running at 9:30am. I think if we scream team over by the bus area at Epcot will jump on a Pop Century bus then over to WWoS. If we decide to move into Epcot when it opens then we will head over to Boardwalk & catch the bus there.
