Sure, I can see that, but I am thinking some spilled over into resort bookings. Last hurrah weekend, if you will. Hey, a girl's gotta try to remain optimistic.Doubt it since the AP availability is fully booked till the end of the month. All data show Disney likely greatly increased the number of AP allowed as well.
And it's the 3rd day in a row the Skyliner has been down from Pop so the line for HS is almost as big 1.5hts before park open.

For us, yeah we almost never wait for anything longer than 20 mins. We go during not real busy times, rope drop and use fastpasses. I think the other big issue is that with social distancing it seems more of the lines are waiting out in the weather elements. Waiting 30 mins in a cool building or shade is VERY different than waiting 30 mins. in the hot sun. I think one of the reasons ppl. (myself included) were willing to spend the same amount of money at Disney right now with reduced hrs., limited attractions,limited food, experience etc.; is because of the "low capacity" and low wait times that were reported in the first few weeks, but now with waits and experiences being worse/longer than a usual trip added to all the limited experiences is a pretty tough pill to swallow.What do you guys consider "crappy wait times"? To me anything under 45 minutes is perfectly reasonable. I admire anyone who has a superfan strategy that avoids lines longer than 20 minutes but for us mere mortals these current crowd levels/wait times are the dream. Even with the "increase" in crowds this is still nowhere near normal.
I think for many that's not currently accurate. The wait times and especially transportation issues are higher/worse (transportation much worse) than an average trip. - Maybe not worse than Christmas week, but we go/have gone in every month between Jan-Oct and don't generally have the kind of waits and transportation issues that have been reported over the last few days.Except those things aren't necessary now. So I don't understand the current complaints re: increased wait times - it's still better than an average day.

I would agree. We’ve stayed January, February, March (spring break), June, July, August and November and none of those visits, even during peak attendance times, had worse transportation experiences than last week. I expected delays given no bus crowding and we were patient, but as the week went on, it never got any better. At first I thought it was just isolated to CBR but after talking with friends who were also there, and others on the boards, it’s wide spread. We overheard 4 different families calling Disney dining telling them they’d miss their ADR. Also saw a handful of people bailing on the bus for an uber/Lyft. Our mantra was we really didn’t care since we weren’t in a rush. Our only time crunch was leaving DHS for a 3pm beaches and cream reservation. Skyliner was down, got to bus at 2:05; arrived at beaches and cream at 3pm. Poor elderly man bailed on his family for a midday break and he told us he arrived at the bus stop 25 min before us. Yikes!! I get that we can’t change it but it’s just disappointing when you don’t get what you pay for.
Stayed at CBR in Jamaica, for the whole week, we only had one time where a bus was waiting on us at the depot or arrived in less than 30 min. All other times headed to the parks were after park opening, we waited a while. We even waited 30 min for the internal CBR bus. Makes no sense. That bus just drives around the resort in a circle. Disney’s cost saves are apparent in the transportation. I hope that some QC sees what’s transpiring and they remedy the situation soon. Right now with no FP+, EMH and crappy transportation options, there’s no real benefit to stay onsite.How were buses in the morning to the parks?

Sorry. I thought you meant bus times. We left Saturday so haven’t been in parks this week but during the week our longest attraction wait time was splash, posted wait was 40 min, we waited 25. That was last Friday.It's unfortunate that you're experiencing Disney transportation issues but I was referring specifically to in-park wait times for rides. As of right now 12:20PM which is normally peak time at the parks the longest posted wait is 55 minutes (for MF:SR). That is quite unheard of. I also go off-peak times and an afternoon wait time for top attractions can be anywhere from 90-120 minutes. So, I stick by my opinion that FPs aren't necessary and these aren't "crappy" wait times to the average guest who isn't as overly prepared and a hyperplanner. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip and consider spending $10 on an Uber or Lyft to relieve some of the stress you're experiencing over Disney transportation.
They're notjust want to say, i'm enjoying this thread and info you guys are giving. we usually stay @ pop, but thinking of staying @ Bonnet Creek and we are driving into parks and DS. Are the boat taxis running? We are looking forward to our disney fix. we will have fun no matter what!!
I fixed your photo for you. Wow it sure looks busy in front of the Castle today, how are you managing to socially distance with all the ghostly guests wandering about?OK so this is at 1245. I guess I can't really complain about the crowds! We waited a long time for Thunder Mountain but that was the worst one for sure.
