Does anyone know if Pop Century will be sharing buses with the new art of animation resort?
I think there would be a full-on riot if this happened. As it is, the Pop Century bus lines are the longest on property (ever since All-Star split their buses into the three separate resorts). It's jarring to see how much longer the Pop line is that every other, say, leaving the MK after Wishes.
I have absolutely no idea, but if I had to guess I'd say yes they probably will share, at least from time to time.
As far as I know the All Stars share, unless they've recently stopped sharing. Even some of the most expensive deluxe resorts, GF, Poly, BC, YC, BW, all share from time to time.
Not sure if Pop and the new resort would have too many guests to share, but if the 5 resorts in the Epcot resort area can share I definitely think two resorts sharing would not be out of the question.
I think this is because there are alternative modes of transportation around property at those resorts. There are the boats that go from EPCOT to resorts, to Hollywood Studios, walking paths all around that area to those same parks, the monorail from EPCOT to the TTC and MK, and you can bank on a lot of guests driving themselves. But at resorts like POP and Art of Animation, it's either bus or drive yourself. So I would think that since there are so many people at both resorts, sharing buses wouldn't make sense. It may also depend on the season- I couldn't imagine during the holidays, Easter, or summer that bus sharing would be more efficient.Quote:

Well, its true that they do have alternate transportation, but they still share the buses that take them to parks that don't have alternate transportation.Quote:

Trust me, I wish each resort had its own bus and no resorts had to share. We'll likely never stay at Art of Animation, or Pop, so it really won't affect me either way, but I still think there is a chance these two resorts will share buses at some point.
When I stayed at Movies in August, we did not share a bus with the other two All Star.

We still stay at the values from time to time if we arrive a night earlier than our official reservations, but its just for the night and we don't use the buses. In the past, when we did stay at the values for whole vacations, we always shared with the other 2 All Stars. I'm very happy to hear that guests who stay there now might have a better experience with the buses. I wish that every resort would have its own dedicated bus to all parks.
