You don't have to pass through security to walk from the DS hotels to SSR.Have you done this before DS added security and that early in the am?

Do you have any tips for getting on a not full bus? I know Congress Park is the second to last stop. Would you walk to Grandstand (The First Stop) or just get there earlier to get on the bus?You don't have to pass through security to walk from the DS hotels to SSR.
Sorry, I can't answer that - no relevant experience!Do you have any tips for getting on a not full bus? I know Congress Park is the second to last stop. Would you walk to Grandstand (The First Stop) or just get there earlier to get on the bus?
How much does it cost to go to a park on average using Lyft?Our experience was back in April. The buses were just OK. I didn't like the waiting because they do not run that frequently. As crazy mom mentioned above you booked your bus through "Fabulous Buses". After a few trips we found ourselves using Lyft to get to the parks and to get back to the hotel.
Hi. I feel like you are super knowledgeable but I understand it’s been a while and things might have changed but we are staying at Wyndham lake buena vista. Where do you suggest we catch the bus? We don’t mind a walk at all just the quickest route to the parks.You're way overthinking this stuff. You're essentially adding 20-40 minutes to the trip just to avoid walking a couple hundred feet. Unless you have severe mobility issues, you're overcomplicating what really is simple.
Here's a quick and dirty edit of a Bing Map:
A: Epcot Entrance
B: Monorail Station
C: Approximate Location of Disney Springs Hotels Bus Stop
D-G: Locations of Disney Resort Bus Stops
The Disney Springs Hotels bus location is only about 20 yards from some of the Disney Resorts bus stops. So, you're not walking that much further than some guests staying on-site. The only major difference between the two is that the Disney Springs Hotels bus location isn't covered.
I've never experienced anything like what you quoted. I've never seen a Disney Springs Hotels bus more 5 minutes late. If you are in the correct location, you will never be waiting over an hour for a bus.
Are you sure you weren't reading about Disney Resort buses? A few weeks back, I experienced the annoyance of seeing three buses heading to the "wrong" location before my bus came. But, that was Disney Transportation at Disney's Contemporary Resort.
Not sure when they added security, I think I just bypassed that and walked along the sidewalk past it all , I believe that walkway goes around the springs itself, past where the old bus stops used to be-toward the boat docks and onward toward SS. I've walked it in morning and back again in evening. I may be misremembering but I never even thought to worry about that.Have you done this before DS added security and that early in the am?
Epcot - T&T is only when going to Magic Kingdom.Does the Wyndham bus go straight to Epcot or to Ticket and transportation?
There is no moderator here and it's not a sub-forum they pay much attention to. We tried years ago to get the ability to update or have pinned posts that could be updated as needed - but it's just not a priority. And in that process the OP who started this information post for us left the DIS community a few years ago.The first post needs an update as Best Western has been replaced by Drury Plaza
Some offsite shuttle drop of at TTC for EPCOT..Guests use the monorailEpcot - T&T is only when going to Magic Kingdom.
Stayed at the Wyndham Garden in Lake Buena Vista on hotel plaza boulevard Feb 27th - Mar 2nd and here is the bus info. They used Fabulous buses & Tours for their transfers. You got a code from the hotel to enter when you checked in so it waved the fees. Buses started at 7:00am in the morning. MK and AK had their own buses. EP and HS shared a bus with HS being dropped off first in the morning.

They accomodate scooters. You have to book ahead and let them knowSo if you use a scooter at the parks you cannot use this bus service? It is wheelchairs only?
