What has been your experience staying here now that these hotels are not using Disney transportation? Are the busses efficient?

I stayed at the Dolphin in Sept and I stayed at the Swan Reserve a few weeks ago. I never had any issues with the busses. We did walk over to Boardwalk once to go to MK, but the next time I opted to use the S/D bus. If you go to MK you get dropped off at TTC and if you go to DAK, you get dropped off by the Ride Share pick up (There is a covered pavilion to wait under.) I personally never waited more than 20 minutes for a bus and most times, it seemed like 5-10 minutes after I got to the stop.

Magic kingdom definitely sucks a bit since you have to do the extra leg from the TTC. The other parks are fine, sometimes they seemed to run more on a schedule according to the bus drivers. Animal kingdom our entire stay picked up on the 15/45 from the park, and I found this to be easier to plan than the randomness of the Disney system. Little bit of an extra walk, but the certainty of departure times made up for it in my opinion.

Overall I would say it was on par with the Disney system, and the busses were obviously the much nicer touring style.

Always loved staying at the Dolphin. But the switch away from the Disney buses is a deal breaker for us. Will continue to visit and dine there, but won’t stay there anymore.
