What's with MK bus times at CBR Jamaica

[GaryDis]

We got to the bus stop at 8:45. Sign said 9:01. Fine. Then the sign changed to 9:16. Then 9:20. It's 9:01 now, no bus. Do we need to walk to Old Port Royale?

Edit : now it reads 9:05, and then 9:07. Second Epcot bus since we showed up had arrived.

Edit 2: bus arrived at 9:06. Can you tell that by Thursday my patience levels are dropping?

CBR buses were kind of a mess when we stayed there for whatever reason.

You need to look on the positive side. If they did not have the times posted, like the old days, you waited 21 minutes (which buses average) and you would not even thought twice about it. FYI, this happens at other resorts as well, not just CBR.

We were at CBR resort, in Jamaica section, last week. We gave up on the buses almost immediately and used Uber to get to the parks. It was about $8 to get to Epcot and HS, and $13 to get to MK or AK. Uber picked us up in the circle just outside of our building (41). Once we ordered the Uber, it was there in about 5 minutes every time. We then used the buses to get back to CBR at the end of the day since I was less on a schedule by that point.
The only real drawback of Uber vs. the buses we saw (other than cost) was that Uber drops you on the parking lot side of the lake at MK so you still need to take the ferry or monorail.

I find it hard to be positive when Disney is over promising and under-delivering.

If guests find the transportation board inaccuracy to be a problem during their stay, the most effective thing that you can do is to let Disney know. Send an email to guest services with a description of the problem so that Disney can register that this issue needs attention. You did a great job posting your issue here. Thanks for doing that. The next step is to pass it along to be heard by Disney management.

Again"Being Positive" does nothing to help solve the problem that you are experiencing. Let them know so that they understand that they need to address the issue.

The only real drawback of Uber vs. the buses we saw (other than cost) was that Uber drops you on the parking lot side of the lake at MK so you still need to take the ferry or monorail.

Ask your Lyft/Uber driver to drop you off at the Contemporary Resort. Then it's just a quick walk or a Monorail ride to the Magic Kingdom.

So this morning, we just missed the AK bus and I think it left CBR empty. Certainly no one boarded at Jamaica (that's how close we were). The sign then showed the next reasonably at 7:16, but then changed to 7:27.

In the meantime, two DHS buses showed up with five minutes of each other.

Edit: and we've now had two MK and two EP go by with no AK, over 20 minutes now.

Edit 2: now changed to 7:31. Over 30 minutes on EMH day is inexcusable.
