Pros to using the buses at Disney:
- They run on schedule; you can trust what Disney publishes. When we stay on property, we always use Disney's transportation,
- The Disney drivers know the roads; you'll never need to read a map, and you'll never take a wrong turn.
- They drop you right by the park entrance -- no walking from the back of the parking lot -- this is especially valuable in the Magic Kingdom, where you'd otherwise need to park and then ride the ferry or the monorail into the park.
- They pick you up right by the park entrance -- no searching for your car in a large lot and no climbing into a super-hot car.
- You don't have to pay to park.
- If your group wants to split up, no problems sharing the car.
- If you park hop at mid-day, no need to return back to your original park to find your car.
- If you've, um, "had a few" with your dinner, no concerns about drinking and driving.
- This is a very small perk, but you can leave your car keys behind in the room. Toting stuff in the park is no fun.
Cons to using the buses at Disney:
- If you're traveling at a popular time (i.e., just before the parks open or just after the fireworks), the buses will be crowded. You may end up waiting a while and/or you may end up standing on the bus. This is only a problem at popular travel times.
