Maybe my family & I were just had bad luck but I think Walt Disney World runs more Disney Transport buses from Downtown Disney - the All Star Resorts & far less to Disney's Contemporary Resort. I don't know why that is because I would remember times when my family & I would have waited 30 - 45 minutes for a Contemporary bus, when 5 - 10 All Star buses would show up every 10 minutes. I am not trying to sound like a snob hear but I think the Contemporary should get more buses from Downtown Disney because the guests there are paying 3 x what guests at the All Star Resorts are paying. I heard WDW claim the buses are based on how many rooms the Resort has, but I think that is taken the wrong way. The Contemporary has 1041 rooms, while the All Star has around 3000. Is that 3000 rooms when you combine the Sports & Movie Resort or 3000 rooms at the All Star & another 3000 at the Movies? So what do you all think about this subject?

Well, I guess that now the fight's over, I throw in my $.02. :lol:
I stay at Pop. If my fiance and I wanted to, we could afford to stay at stay at one of the upper tier resorts (it would take us a little longer to save up, but we could do it.) We choose to stay at Pop because it means we can get back to Disney faster. I have stayed at nice hotels before (for example, Caeser's Palace in Vegas), but to me, a room is a room. (Especially at a place like Disney where I won't be spending that much time there anyway.)
Now, Pop is a large resort, but not as large as the All-Star resorts combined. Pop's Phase I has over 2,800. (Which is over the number of rooms that ONE All Stars by the way, but less than the three combined. And definitely more than the Contemporary) Now on my last trip, I noticed that more busses came for All-Stars than they did for Pop. Should I be upset about that? It is the same type of hotel? And I also noticed that more busses for the Contemporary came too? Should I get upset about that too?
While it was annoying that we had to wait somewhere between 30-45 minutes for a bus, I know that sometimes that's just the luck of how things are. Do I blame it on the fact that Pop is a Value resort? Nope. I just know that Disney transportation is not the best, but it's free.
So I guess what I'm saying is that no matter where you stay, you are always going to have to wait for Disney transportation.

Ouch. Guilty. I have had some issues from the house computer that caused me not to have access. I do not think it is the dial-up but I could not get it to work. When I changed passwords, could not get that to work either. So, in assuming that JBSLJames was dead, a moment of silence please, I resurrected my ability to get onto this lovely site with the creation of a new persona and with it, a new user name. If this is wrong, then wrong I am. No harm was meant, but it was the quickest way I could figure to get back into the discussion.
If punishment meast be handed out, please make it swift and just. . .
unlike the bus service to the Contemporary.
I am at thy mercy.

it was only bad because i was raised in a wealthy family and never once have i been so stuck up about it and i despise people like that and i hate it how they put everyone down because they think they are better than everyone else.
