We haven't stayed on property in a while. But my previous experience with the bus experience was pleasant. This time it was awful. We're fairly patient people so we knew going in we would have to wait and pack our patience.
The thing that killed it for us is that Disney is not efficient. Why in the world do they not have a GPS system on each bus tracking where the busses are for each resort available for the resort guests? This would alleviate the frustration on waiting on busses. I know they have GPS on the busses you can see the screens the drivers use to navigate the routes. Why this isn't available to the resort guests is beyond me. Smh.
We stayed at OKW. They have 5 bus stops. They have a tv screen with each park listed. When a bus was on property the word bus would light up for that park. But you didn't know if the bus just arrived or if the bus had already passed your bus stop. Frustrating.
A simple app tracking the busses would save so much time and frustration. I would know AK 123 bus just left AK ETA 12 minutes to the first okw bus stop. I could then prepare accordingly. Its just hard to believe they don't have something like this already in place. Disney loves tracking our every move but they won't help guest with this easy fix for the bus system.
So we'll definitely rent a car next time. One less headache.

The "Bus Manager" or whoever it is working out there said they kept calling more but they weren't coming for some reason. It was very frustrating. You expect that surely any minute the next one is coming - otherwise we would have just called a lyft (that plus we'd need a carseat one - so we hesitate to pay for that)… SMH
Why did they have 3 transportation attendants and OKW with 5 bus stops doesn't even have one attendant. Not to mention Contemporary has the monorail to get to 2 parks. I was fit to be tied. 
Perhaps if enough people use the chat to complain about bus service it will encourage them to make some changes.
