Great - now address the full solution… not just one element. And i’d love to see how someone got to claim MOST do.

News Disney Springs Bus Service to Resorts Now Requires Reservation Verification

- Start date
Which, if you saw the movie, is keeping in character for the gentleman.

So I typed this pretty quick, as I feel most people do when on a forum.
Honest question - how should I phrase this so it’s not a “broad statement”? Just a few more words… for example -
“As someone who has used this bus stop during peak and non-peak crowd levels - it doesn’t appear to me there is any issue with crowds affecting or “taxing” the transportation system.
The only time I’ve seen the Disney springs bus stop crowded, was in the evening closer to closing time, when guests wouldn’t be trying to hop to a park or resort hotel anyways”
Is that a better and more accurate statement to make?

Clearly you’ve never taken a bus from Disney Springs to one of the Crescent Lake resorts.

That’s Disneys fault they shouldn’t be grouping Boardwalk, Yacht and Beach Club all on 1 bus.

I have. I usually catch either one of them or Riveria - whichever comes first. When headed to epcot / DHS of course. Or boardwalk for the entertainers!

You’ve said earlier that you stay at the Wyndham, which has its own shuttle services to the parks. Sincere question: why don’t you use that transportation offering instead?

Yes the Wyndham and the Hilton are my favorites cause they are right across the street from the springs.
I’ve used the scheduled bus that they offer but the reason I like staying there vs. a value resort is the options at Disney springs. So I’ll grab an early lunch at earl of sandwich or eet, maybe salt and straw, grab a Starbucks and then head to a park. And unless I’m staying for starlight at MK I’ll do the opposite on the way back!

And just like that, it was over. Twenty four pages of pearl clutching along with doom & gloom from the usual suspects (great movie by the way) regarding a temporary policy. No longer checking as of this morning.
maybe not so temporary

Have you heard anything about this being expanded beyond Disney Springs? Or it’s unique to this spot.

Many, many times…is there like a special transfer shuttle to the one WDI trailer next to the blown tire pile behind test track that makes the transport distasteful?

It’s a social experiment…which is what most of management effort is spent on trying to invent more money out of less people each day…
Hey…that’s actually what they’ve been doing in MY office all day, Today!
Meh…it was a solution in search of a problem.
People flooding the buses to the discomfort of the patricians at poly and contemporary is unlikely to be a thing.
If they’re going to try to track down people who spend on food and merch in hotels and parks to try to recoup a $30 parking fee in mostly empty lots …they’re so lost we’ll be screaming for chapek to come back soon

Where are the mostly empty parking lots? We usually stay at SSR in May or November and even the lots there are not mostly empty.It’s a social experiment…which is what most of management effort is spent on trying to invent more money out of less people each day…

I wonder if they feel they can cut down on the number of busses they send to Springs each hour along with this. I still have to imagine they make a lot more money off people who park at Springs and take a bus to the Boardwalk or a resort to eat and drink than they could make off parking/save off busses, but maybe I'm much more in the minority than I realize.It’s a social experiment…which is what most of management effort is spent on trying to invent more money out of less people each day…
