We are back from our trip. We were there 11/3-11/12 and were in Ranchos room 6212. At first I was upset to be in Ranchos but it worked out to be great. We were a 2-3 minute walk to the bus stop and the pool. We were stop 2 when we were picked up and stop 2 when we were dropped off. The busses ran efficiently. We never waited long for a bus and never had to stand. A few times coming back from MK we were on a charter bus which was great since everyone gets a seat. The staff was friendly.
The resort is gorgeous. We didn't go up to the tower or the shopping area much and we really rarely do when staying at Disney so it wasn't the distance part. With the bridges connecting the resort it wasn't a far walk at all. I believe we went twice to shop and only ate at El Mercado once but the area is really pretty. We ate at Three Bridges once and the vibe is great.
I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again although I would like to try the tower. Although I think having that bus stop sucks since it's the last one and people had to stand often when getting picked up there. It is a really great adult resort. Lots of convention people and we saw one wedding.
Honestly, so long as there's room on the bus I'll be good with standing!
