Disney Cost Cuts Curb Deluxe Resort Perks, Trigger Complaints Over Shared Buses
Outlets link overcrowded Deluxe bus service to a company cost‑saving push.
Overview
- Inside the Magic and DisneyFanatic report that many Deluxe Resorts now share bus routes with neighboring properties when monorail, boat, or Skyliner options are unavailable.
- A viral X post showed a packed Disney Springs queue for guests of Disney’s Yacht Club, Beach Club, and BoardWalk, drawing wider attention to transportation strains.
- Some guests compared performance unfavorably, saying Value Resorts such as the All-Star hotels sometimes move people more efficiently than Deluxe under the new setup.
- Coverage frames the changes as part of a broader cost-saving strategy and warns that reduced convenience undermines the perceived value of premium on‑property stays.
- Suggested fixes include restoring dedicated buses for Deluxe Resorts and expanding alternatives like boats or the Skyliner, with no official Disney response noted in the articles.
