About time... I feel like we've been talking about them developing this for >5 years...

Finally, this would have been nice to have in November.
I’m looking for it in the app now, and I can’t seem to find it... maybe I need to refresh or update the app? I’m just curious to see if it includes the wait times at the parks and Disney Springs, and not just the resorts.

From my understanding, you won't be able to see it unless you have reservations at a resort.
You may actually need to be onsite too.

I hate to be the one to question this (as I'm usually a pixie duster) but it seems I've read that the bus times board at the bus stops are rarely accurate so how is this going to be different? I'm hoping you'll tell me that the bus boards are usually right on and I've heard wrong.

That’s an oversimplification. The bus times are “accurate” in the moment but times frequently move back due to...traffic? If you are in your room and see a bus isn’t coming for 15 min, it’ll be nice to know you don’t need to rush. It may end up being 18 min, not 15, but it was nice having the info, no?

I'm guessing this won't be available for the Swan and Dolphin?

It'll also be great to not do a full speed sprint 40 yards when you see a bus at the stop because you are afraid it is your bus.

They’re not gonna be different...which means there will be some real time fluctuation....
What it does is allow you to leave your room and have a shot...or plan what you’re doing based on watching the patterns to get to all that fun, spontaneous, PREPLANNED “magic” on time

Both of these examples are actually very appealing. Thanks for the input.

Since it says we can see when the next bus will be arriving at our resort, can I assume we still won't be able to see when a bus would be arriving at the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom or Disney Springs to pick us up from those locations? Because they don't have the bus monitor screens and they were already installed at each resort bus stops, it seems like a wasted opportunity not to show that information on the My Disney Experience app. Plus knowing when a bus would be arriving at any of the 4 parks and Disney Springs would make it an easier wait, instead of hoping the next one that arrives is going to your resort.

Slightly Off topic, but I'm waiting on disney to link up the your reservation so when you send stuff back to the resort (when staying on property) you can just scan a bar code in your MDE APP or tap your magic band and it fills out all your resort info. NO MORE GREEN SHEETS....
Why not? They participate in the Disney park transportation, usually as part of the Epcot area loop with the Boardwalk and YC/BC.
I would guess it would be for Swolphin, too, considering they use Disney buses and have a Disney bus monitor at their stops.
