Are there busses from the parks to Disney Springs? For some reason, I feel like last time I was there I was told there was no bus. Which confuses me greatly.

I have many older magic bands that still work. I could be wrong, but I don't think they have them in the stores any more. We arrive tonight at WDW, I will check around. All of the magic bands are plus now. I did not see a single Magic band 2 for sale in any of the shops. |

I'm too cheap to buy k-cups when I see what they are charging for them at the store. I learned to like coffee back in the factory workin' days, when it was a giant red or blue can for five bucks. Then I drove school bus and the coffee was from the same giant red or blue can. Still like it that way. We bought a single serve Keurig because every now and then I like a cup of coffee at night. We also bought the filter cups and liners. It's more work but the refillable filter cups and liners are still in the 'cute' stage and I don't feel like I'm wasting coffee. Previously we had the 6-cup maker but took up less room on our counter. We keep a single serve Kuerig in our Owner's Locker. I like a cup of coffee in the morning, not a pot of coffee. |

Bus service between Disney Resort hotels and Disney Springs is available during Disney Springs operating hours—and ends one hour after closing. Bus service from theme parks to Disney Springs is not available. |

An addendum to the WL ?: has the limited been eliminated or is it 2 WL per year so I can have 3 as long is the third one is in the next year?

Ugh, guess I should have my sister and her family look at the preorder options to at least get a discount. Thanks so much for looking and reporting back!  Interestingly, they still have a few MagicBand 2 options via the preorder method but nothing that would mean much to them being their first, and possibly only, trip to WDW. Thanks again! |

Pre-orders due offer some nice discounts. We found a MB+ for one of grandkids fiends that are going with us in May. In the store at WDW it was $45, but pre-order on the app was $30. Plus it gets your name and free shipping. |

Bus service from theme parks to Disney Springs is not available. Did there USED to be busses from parks to Springs? I swear a few years ago, every single night my wife would make us leave whatever park we were in and go get either Blaze Pizza or a salad at Chicken Guy as a sort-of 9pm dinner, then we would catch our bus to OKW. If we had to take a bus from MK -> resort -> Springs, I doubt we would have done it. |

Cheers.

One of many cost saving cuts that Disney "should" bring back, but won't. At least until things change and Disney is forced to bring it back. |

Would be nice to have, but not a make or break. Apparently the folks flocking there in droves agree.
Cheers.

Cheers. The Park reservation system and lack of Park Hopper had a lot to do with eliminating the bus Park service at Disney Springs. |

So, with park reservations somewhat relaxed and park hopping unlimited again, it really does make sense to bring this back. But, as you say, they'll do it when forced to. Takeaways are easy. Give backs, less so.
Cheers.

Busses from parks to DS would be an important way to drive traffic to DS as the parks are winding down. Last few times I have been to Springs, the last thing they needed was to drive traffic there...they were doing just fine. So not much need to have those busses.
