Disney’s Pop Century Resort’s Bus Schedule (And Times)
One of the perks of staying at Disney’s Pop Century Resort is having complimentary bus service to and from select theme parks and Disney Springs. While you’ll find multiple transportation options at the resort, some destinations require a bus ride. So for this article, we’ll focus specifically on the bus system, including average travel times, internal bus stops, and what to expect during your stay.
For reference, those staying at Pop Century can access two forms of complimentary transportation from the resort: buses and the Disney Skyliner. However, it’s important to note the resort doesn’t offer bus service to the Skyliner destinations unless the gondola system is not operating. So, if you want to take advantage of Disney transportation, you’ll have to take the Skyliner when visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot. (I try to mention this because some people think the Skyliner is an alternative, and if you fear heights, you would likely want to be aware of that before deciding on a resort.)
Pop Century’s bus stop is in front of Classic Hall. It’s accessible via the resort’s lobby or the Everything Pop Gift Shop. Each bus stop is partially covered with a chain-link queue. As you can imagine, it’s a busy place first thing in the morning, so expect long lines. You’ll also want to have an umbrella or poncho in the event of rain.

We are staying at Pop Century in June 2026. The Skyliner is closed so we have no choice but to take a bus. Do you have bus times for getting to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios?
Thanks, Tina
Hi, I don’t have the exact times because the Skyliner only closes for refurbishment 1-2 weeks out of the year. Hollywood Studios is the closest park to Pop Century. It would be less than 10 minutes, even shorter without hitting red traffic lights. I would estimate that Epcot is about 4-5 minutes shorter than Magic Kingdom. Hope that is helpful.
