SAFD: This…
Every race has its own story. Each one special or memorable for different reasons.

Great! Thanks for the feedback.Typically race mornings aren't too much of an issue as they'll have empty buses at each resort waiting to go. The return trip after the race is typically when they for sure stop at both.
That's what I like to hear! I like the food options are Riviera more than GDT so I think I'm going to make the switch!I've stayed at both during race weekends and never had issues with either.
Sounds like Gran Destino. We fill up and head out without making any loops which is definitely preferred! Thanks!CBR has been my go to for MW for the last couple of years and the buses have been shared with Riviera. As previously noted, there are usually several buses queued up at each individual stop first thing in the morning that fill up and then head out directly. Once they start running the normal circuit, though, Riviera seems to be either the 1st or 3rd stop, depending on where the bus enters the resort complex. One route has the buses stopping at Jamaica and Aruba before hitting the Riviera and continuing around the other side of the resort. The second route has the buses coming in to Riviera first and then heading out to circle the rest of the resort. I haven't experienced anything more than normal, occasional hiccups in the bus service that can and do crop up just about anywhere you stay.
I have never really seen any complaints about Riviera/CBR race bussing and I am staying at Riviera next year. The hotels I see the most bus complaints about (including expo buses) are always the Epcot area resorts, funny enough. The Skyliner and food options are big draws for me, I enjoy dinner in Epcot and going through the IG makes it so easy to pop in and out. While I loved staying at AKL for the most part this year, I am OVER the Future World entrance I loved Coronado the past few times I stayed there but have been spoiled with the Skyliner/walking with my recent stays at the Dolphin. It is hard to go back to busing to all four parks.does anyone know what the Riviera bussing situation was this year for MW? I assume it’s shared with CB? Was riviera first or last? Any reoccurring bussing nightmares? I’m considering renting points and switching from Gran Destino to Riv but GD has been so good to me the past two marathon weekends I’m nervous to switch. Riviera has been on my wishlist for a long time what better time than MW when I’ll be in my room more than normal. But then…if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I should stay at the tower which I also enjoy. Someone help me decide!
Thanks! I agree - I see a lot of complaints from the Epcot resorts. That’s gotta be frustrating! I much prefer the food options at Riviera to Coronado, too. I decided to switch so I’ll see ya at Riviera in Jan!I have never really seen any complaints about Riviera/CBR race bussing and I am staying at Riviera next year.

Free is good. Means more money for food, booze, and merch.SAFD: I am staying at my parents' house, because it's free
While it would be fun to stay on property for MW someday...FREE.
