So, if Disney says "dedicated bus service from all parks to all resorts", you're happy, right? No more waiting 10 minutes for an added stop, right? What if they use the same bus though? So, pick up at AKL, drop off at Poly. The same bus picks up at Poly and drops at AKL. The same bus then picks up AKL and drops at GF. So the GF folks need to wait for the bus to finish the Poly route before they even get on. Yes, I'm simplifying.Thats the point, I could care less how wasteful it is. Disney isn't paying me to stay there, I'm paying Disney lots of money. Even if you stay at a value resort at Disney you are paying Disney tons of money. Disney's business issues are not my issues as a guest. Two distinctly different things. If I can hop on a bus from Animal kingdom and go to Pop Century in one stop, I shouldn't have to hop on a shared bus to go to a deluxe resort and waste precious time going between resorts. As I said, if they swapped up the order at least that would make it a little better so you weren't always just wasting time.
Buses also come more frequently for the value resorts. Yes of course I get that those resorts have more people, but that goes back to my original point that the value resorts and potentially moderate resorts are getting better bus service.
I've stayed at every level of resort. Bus service has NEVER been a factor of where I stay. Deluxe gives me interior hallways (I much prefer), closer to parks (better views), possible larger rooms, more choices for food and usually at least some other transportation option than bus all come to mind.
