My family is fairly seasoned visitors to Disney World with ~ a dozen trips, but we have never been on a Disney bus, mostly because we have only stayed on property twice.
- We stayed at BLT for 4 days during our first trip, but had a car and parking was free at that time and ultimately never utilized buses.
- For the next several trips we stayed at Reunion Resort and almost always drove (with a rare uber)
- The last couple years, we had stayed a few times on points at the Waldorf and simply found taking uber/lyft convenient and given the "free" lodging, the cost didn't really bother.
- In June, we were fortunate to stay on property again at a monorail resort, and we were planning to take a bus one afternoon, but when we walked out and saw it was a 20 minute wait, decided just to Uber.
I know many people swear by Disney buses, so we'd like to give it a try our next trip, but at the same time, it does seem that it adds quite a bit of time. Is there something special about the buses, or is the equation as simple as the cost benefit ratio between the cost of an uber and the added time you have to allow when traveling by bus?
