In re: BWR and the "Epcot resort circle" issue: it depends on what is important to you. We stay at S/D quite often, and we've got a system.
If we want a seat, we get on at S/D; if we want to save time, we hoof it over to Y&B and catch the bus there. Same strategy at the more spread-out resorts that have multiple stops; you can always walk to the bus stop that gives you your preferred experience.
That said, we always rent a car, and we drive everywhere but to the MK (well, mostly. If we are staying until closing at the MK on a late night, we tend to eat dinner at a Monorail resort and valet park there, so that we can just hop the resort transport back and pick up the car immediately. MUCH more convenient when you are exhausted.) We like the flexibility that our own wheels give us, particularly when it comes to moving from park to park or from resort to resort. (The longest bus wait we ever experienced was in hopping from Epcot to AK. The ride didn't take long, but the wait for the bus was 82 minutes; I happened to note what time we arrived at the bus stop.)
