Lou... 3,118 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Some of the start times are conservative. IE, the published time for when buses start running from the resorts is one hour before opening, but it's actually earlier than that.Another little know fact is that if you plan to use a park to transfer to your resort and the park is closed, buses only take guests to the resorts and will not pick up guests that want to go back to the park. Once closing time is reached, it's full buses out and empty buses back. So make sure your ADR is over before the park that you plan to transfer at closes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
