Bus Times at Walt Disney World Resort Now Available in Newly Redesigned My Disney Experience App

Excellent new feature. You can also upgrade to an AP on the app (although I can't seem to find this feature) and it has a new interface.

While I really hope this works as planned I'm skeptical, will be looking forward to seeing people's experiences with the estimated times and the actuals.

If it works pretty well it would be a huge deciding factor on whether we're grabbing an Uber/Lyft/MinnieVan, or Bus when leaving the room in the morning.

We looked for this last week and could not find it. It is an appreciated improvement.

Where is it on MDE? Do I need to download a new version?

I think it is important to keep in mind that the times really are dynamic. You see complaints all the time from folks saying the board said 10minutes then changed to 12 minutes etc etc etc. could be a traffic tie up. Could be extra ECVs to load etc. it is dynamic

Looking in the app and I checked to make sure I had the most recent update and can't find it. Can anyone tell me where in the app this is located?

It's currently only available if you are staying at a Disney Resort and only during your actual stay.

Where is the Bus times located in the new app. I downloaded it and got the new format. where does it said the bus time?

Edit: I guess I posted too late thanks erionm

This is great! We will be using the bus system for the first time ever during our upcoming December trip. This feature makes me feel a little bit better about not having a car this time.

 

[TOBS2010]

Thank you! We are going later this summer and I will look forward to finding it then when we are there.

Pretty cool! I wish they would add bus times from parks back to resorts, too, since they already have the marquees at the resorts with the bus wait times.

At least if you in the room at 12:15, you know you won't make the 12:16 bus even if it is delayed by 4 or 5 mins.

Well, some might, but not us.

I'd rather know it's 12:15 and the next bus is due at 12 :24. Time enough for us to get to bus stop without running. I hate it when you are juuuuussst close enough to read the bus pulling away is the one you wanted.

I'm so excited this is finally live! I'm also really interested to see what people's experience with this is. With the boards changing constantly it will be interesting for sure. Hopefully the information that is given on the board will coincide with what is in the app and consequently will be updated at the same time.

Can't wait to use this feature when we are there in November. We have horrible timing and without fail come into view of the bus station as a bus to wherever we are going is leaving

NICE!!

OK, how do I know if I have the newest MDE on my phone? Was this a recent update?

 

[DisHeels]

Perfect timing as we are here now.

build version 4.12

It was just released on the apple store 3 hours ago.

 

[MJ6987]

I hope this is pretty accurate cos people are now going to be using it to decide when to leave their rooms for the bus stop!

So great to hear about this update. On our trip earlier this month, I had mentioned to my husband that it would be great if bus times would be listed either on a tv channel or the app. Looking forward to using the feature on our next trip.
