Which Hotels have the least busy transportation?

[Jabroniville]

Hey all! I'm just curious of some resorts (probably the pricier ones) have less crowding for the buses in the morning or at night. I usually go with the value resorts, which are obviously massive and sprawling, and the sheer numbers of people who head to the buses, especially at night, can be overwhelming. They often end up sending one bus after another to pick everyone up!

Does the same mass-crowding happen with the other resorts? I never see huge line-ups for Boardwalk or the Animal Kingdom Lodge or what have you, but that's just from walking by. I know some hotels have issues of their own regarding buses (some have multiple stops WITHIN the hotel; AKL is really far away apparently), but what about the crowding?

Thanks!

My personal experience Pop has the worse bus waits. That is the only value resort we have stayed at though. AKL does have a decent walk to get to the bus stop, but most of that is inside the hotel (super long hallways). They do have an organized bus stop though, separated by park. BWV has always been good for us, but the bus stop is not organized at the hotel and everyone for every park waiting in the same line. The hotels with the internal bus stops stops to me are the worse though. Watching a full bus drive by when you have already been waiting 30+ minutes hurts. We try to pick resorts that have multiple modes of transportation to avoid the buses if possible. The Epcot area resorts are our favorite, walking to 2 parks or boat is hard to beat.

Yeah the internal bus stops seem like the worst deal- EVERYONE seems to complain about those. A lot of the blogs & YouTube guides mention that.

I've only ever done Pop & AOA, both of which have very crowded buses and can be long waits. Though in 2021 they were MUCH better about sending out a whole fleet of buses.

In my experience, Pop has super long lines, but the waits aren't that bad. They send a constant stream of buses there during busy times.

This was true on my last trip- I remember waiting for EASILY 20-30 minutes after park closing in 2019, but in Nov. 2021, they'd actually pump out 2-3 buses simultaneously. These seemed like much busier park days, however.
