Taking the Bus at Disney's Pop Century: Destinations and Travel Times

As you plan your Disney World vacation, you’ll want to know about the many benefits available to resort guests. Perhaps the most significant benefit is complimentary transportation, which we consider a lifesaver. It will save you time and a lot of stress. You won’t have to deal with traffic, directions, or figuring out the logistics of parking and then find your car hours later when you’re exhausted! You’ll hop on the bus and let Disney take care of the rest. The only thing you’re left wondering is how long the buses take.

Those staying at Disney’s Pop Century can access two forms of complimentary transportation from the resort: buses and the Disney Skyliner. However, it’s important to note the resort doesn’t offer bus service to the Skyliner destinations unless the gondola system is not operating. So, if you want to take advantage of Disney transportation, you’ll have to take the Skyliner when visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot. (I try to mention this because some people think the Skyliner is an alternative, and if you fear heights, you would likely want to be aware of that before deciding on a resort.)

Pop Century’s bus stop is in front of Classic Hall. It’s accessible via the resort’s lobby or the Everything Pop gift shop. Each bus stop is partially covered with a chain-link queue. As you can imagine, it’s a busy place first thing in the morning, so expect long lines. You’ll also want to have an umbrella or poncho in the event of rain.
