DW and I just had a quick two night stay in a Studio near Hospitality House, so we did not get to explore too much of the resort. We got food to go from Good's Food one afternoon and went to Gurgling Suitcase one evening. We thoroughly enjoyed all that we saw and did at the resort.
I was reading some of the later posts in this thread about bus service, and have to say we were on the negative side. The second morning was EMH at Epcot, so park opening at 8:00 am. We got to the bus stop at 6:45 am, knowing the buses are supposed to run an hour before park opening. At 7:15 am, there was still no posting of any time for the Epcot bus, even though all other resorts had times posted and buses coming. So we decided to drive. An excellent choice, which prompted us to think we would probably drive to any resort except MK, since you have to deal with the Ferry / Monorail. On our last day, we went to MK via bus, which arrived at the resort in the typical 15-20 minutes after we got there. And it was nice since the bus stop was the last in the resort, so we headed directly to the park after boarding. However, on going back to the resort mid day, the bus took over 30 minutes to arrive. Not the worst, but okay. However, at the resort, with the bus making the loop to all the stops through out the resort, it added another 10-15 minutes to the bus ride. We knew the bus would go through the resort, but it just seemed like it took forever. With that, we would probably drive even to MK and deal with the Ferry / Monorail instead of the extra time on the bus. Now of course, if we are in a different part of the resort, we might change our plans.
But we look forward to visiting the resort again in the future. There is so much to like about the resort, that we can't let the bus service be a deciding factor.
