Though I think this whole subthread started off with someone complaining because they thought the Disney bus stops wouldn't be sheltered. So I guess bus shading (and rain cover) is an expected perk? Or should we say, entitlement?
One constraint they've followed is that they've kept all the charter bus stops the same between the pre-mid-august version and the post-mid-august version. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough spots on the one side for the Disney resorts and three got relegated to the drop-off-area stops.
Double bus stops at MK you say? What do you mean?One constraint they've followed is that they've kept all the charter bus stops the same between the pre-mid-august version and the post-mid-august version. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough spots on the one side for the Disney resorts and three got relegated to the drop-off-area stops.
I'm sure they could have alternatively arranged for the 3 leftovers to be closest to the park by have the pre-mid-august version have the drop-off area be spots 13-15, so I wonder if this informs us of their long-term assignments for the bus stops? But if that were true we'd see Pop Century, Art of Animation, and Caribbean Beach as the "leftovers" since they won't have bus stops once the Skyliner opens. Hmm, wait, I see that they are in spots 1, 2, & 3 furthest out on the peninsula.
Actually, looking at the Magic Kingdom bus stop map, I think they are going to completely remap the Disney resort stops because a lot of the resorts at Magic Kingdom have double bus stops.
Maybe they've organized them by relative fitness levels of the guests that they're getting from the magic band data?
I was looking at this old 2013 map. It seems to me that some resorts have two bus pull-in areas assigned to them, either on a permanent or primary/backup basis. I'm not sure if this has changed nor how it might have changed with the arrival of the articulated buses (or are those the ones that are labeled 19/20, etc)?
Oh yes! The ones with two numbers are double length, that loop your looking at is the "artic" bus loop. They are twice as long so we can put one artic or two 40's. But even though it has two numbers we still count it as one load zone.
Would be smart, if true, to put the boats and Skyway within the secure zone. They are going to have to push the International Gateway security back, anyway. Ideally, you check at Skyway resorts and just put a small satellite checking point along that down slope from the Crescent Lake resorts.
That's a pretty bad angle. It looks like they can pull up almost all the way but to the bollards but they made the gap with the curb extra large for some reason. It could be temporary for some reason?I wonder why they put the concrete barriers in each spot. Presumable the busses should be able to pull all the way up to the red bollards.
