Quote Bus Times at Walt Disney World Resort Now Available in Newly Redesigned My Disney Experience App If you’ve ever wondered when the next bus is going to arrive at your Disney Resort hotel, the answer will now be right at your fingertips. Today, we’re rolling out a brand new bus time feature in the My Disney Experience mobile appthat enables guests to spend less time waiting at the bus stop and more time getting ready for a fun-filled day in the parks. With this feature, guests can quickly discover up-to-the-minute estimates for when the next buses will depart from their Disney Resort hotel and when they will complete their journey to their destination. The app regularly updates in real time to provide the most current estimates for buses heading to all four theme parks, two water parks and the Disney Springs area. Guests can access the feature throughout their stay by tapping “See Bus Times” when viewing an active Disney Resort hotel reservation associated with their account. You may also notice that this My Disney Experience update brings a new and improved design to the app, making it easier than ever to navigate and find what you’re looking for – from the new bus time feature and mobile food ordering service to adding tickets, booking FastPass+ selections and discovering key park offerings. This is just the most recent example of how Disney is using digital technology to make the guest experience even more convenient. During the past year alone, we have added app features that allow guests to view room charges, keep track of Disney dining plan usage, check in online to start their vacation even faster, use their mobile devices as a digital key (now available at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and coming soon to additional Disney Resort hotels) and more. Guests can explore all that’s new in My Disney Experience by updating to the current version of the app, now available in the Apple Store for iOS devices and Google Play for Android devices. And there’s more coming soon! Our teams are constantly exploring and innovating new enhancements to My Disney Experience as it continues to grow and evolve, so be sure to stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for the latest updates.

Indeed it does. My wife just updated the app, and that's one of the first things she mentioned. Katman1356...Jason 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mmfancipher 31 Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Will it have the times for the internal Fort buses? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is active now but you can only see it if you are within an active reservation I believe. Not sure if it will be expanding to anyone once they are onsite or if it has already.

The TCD gang had a Fort Wilderness cabin stay this past weekend. The bus wait times from the Outpost were, indeed, posted on the MDE App. The internal bus times were not, and I don't expect that to ever happen. Honestly, having the bus times on the app isn't very useful for Fort guests. With the internal bus system, you can't accurately predict how long it will take you to get to the Outpost. Even with a golf cart, you probably won't have the luxury of leaving your site at the last minute and being guaranteed to catch the bus. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 We never even looked at the bus wait times our last trip. By the time you got to the Outpost, you could see the video monitor. However, what I did find useful was the resort bill portion of the app. I could see at a moments glance what our MB charges balance was. Very helpful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
