New Hollywood Studios bus loop to open soon!

[rteetz]

I wouldn’t pay much attention to any layout of resort bus stops.
Over time, they tend to be quite changeable.

I can’t begin to count the number of times the resort stops have changed and re-changed over x number of trips.

Especially considering this loop will expand a bit more yet.

 

[rteetz]

I suspect not. Not everyone will want to take the gondolas.

Not everyone wants to take buses. The plan is for bus service to end or significantly decrease for resorts services by the Skyliner.

 

[rteetz]

I think it stinks that they are making the walkway longer. We always walk from BWV-not happy they are making the walk longer b/c of the stupid gondola addition

The walkway change is only temporary while work is done in the area of the current walkway.

I suspect not. Not everyone will want to take the gondolas.

While I suspect you are probably right given the type of transportation, not everyone from CR, Poly, or GF wants to take the monorail to Epcot, yet it’s the only Disney transport option from those resorts.

I get that monorail and gondola is a bit of an apples and oranges comparison.

 

[rteetz]

Ugh. Why would the walk from the Epcot resorts have to go thru the bus loop? That will be annoying for sure. And add time too. Guess they are really trying to push us to use the gondolas.

Only a temporary change due to Skyliner and bus loop construction.

This is exactly the plan that I’ve heard.

 

[rteetz]

I wonder how this new loop will impact RunDisney courses going forward

Shouldn’t too much. The walkway is only moving temporarily for ongoing work with the Skyliner and old bus loop.

Thanks! That’s good to hear!

We will be at BWV/BWI 9/16-9/24 - I'm guessing that we will have the longer walk at that time? I know it's conjecture but I haven't seen any dates to move the walkway, just the map. Not a deal breaker, just gives me more steps

There is currently no end date for the walkway change so I would imagine that yes it will still be the longer walk.

Cool cool I just hope that the bottle neck from Studios to boardwalk isn’t too brutal for wine and dine

I hope so too!

 

[TwiddleDeeTwiddleDum]

well I think it looks horrible! There's already so much walking around in the parks, it pains me to see yet more walking added to get into a park, no matter which resort you're at, that's a lot more walking. Boo

 

[mitsukoshi samurai]

what about the existening bus loop?

Isn’t the gondola capacity tiny compared to busses??

 

[TheGecko]

Uhh... it is not that far of a walk. Not sure why people would get upset about where their resort lies in a temporary bus queue. It will all change again once construction is completed.

 

[disneyfantotheend]

So we are staying at BWV for the first time in December. Will it now be quicker to take the boats or is the walk really not that much longer and still the better option?

 

[loves to dive]

Well all righty then. I always stay at the Epcot resorts and walk so I guess I'll get my exercise in this Sept. I'll walk off all that food I consume at food and wine I guess. Not a big deal for me since I always walk it any way but should be interesting.

Gondola capacity will be much, much higher than the buses.

No further than the Epcot bus loop.
