New Bus Stop and Entrance Changes at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort - June 2026
Posted: Friday June 5, 2026 1:21pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The new bus stop at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort is complete and looks ready to open. Buses are still using the main Port Cochere for now, but that's expected to change shortly.

Construction on the replacement bus stop facility has wrapped up, with the new structure sitting alongside the monorail beam near the resort's former main entrance road. Seating, covered waiting areas, road markings, and landscaping are all finished.

How Traffic Will Flow Once It Opens

The new bus stop is part of a full reconfiguration of how vehicles access the resort:

  • Disney transportation buses will use the former main entrance road to reach the new bus stop
  • Guest vehicles continue to use the recently opened new main entrance at the front of the resort
  • Cars and buses are fully separated into dedicated routes

Right now, Disney buses are still dropping guests off and picking them up at the main Port Cochere. Once the new stop opens, that will change and the Port Cochere returns to standard guest arrival and departure use.

No official opening date has been announced, but based on how the facility looks, it could open any day.

At that time, they were shared across all 5 epcot resorts to MK, regardless of time of day.

I think (but someone correct me) almost all deluxes have dedicated busses at park open and close with maybe yacht/beach being the exception, but almost all other times of the day they share across resorts.

When we stayed at Boardwalk (about 10 years ago) FIVE resorts shared a bus to MK. FIVE.

I'm been here at WDW for a week. I've seen the Polynesian sharing with the Contemporary and the Contemporary sharing with the Wilderness lodge. All the buses leaving Disney Springs have been pretty empty.

Poly was sharing with Grand in June. I assumed it was temporary due to construction. Pretty ridiculous if it’s all the time now. I feel like it was only shared midday even just a couple years ago. Mornings and evenings were dedicated.

I’m seeing reports that Polynesian now shares the bus with Contemporary. Obviously sharing a bus with Grand Floridian would be a bit difficult right now with the construction.

I understand the business case of staffing and demand across resorts outside of park opening/closing hours but it still drives me wild that deluxe resorts share busses. Will always cry a little inside leaving WL and going in the opposite direction to Contemporary before heading to HS

It also has its own unique entrance/exit now that is not shared with any other traffic into the resort.

The location didn’t change but there are now 3 separate load zones for the bus - one for each destination.

I stayed in November 2025 and remember the bus stop being next to the monorail track, to the left if stood at the main entrance. Doesn't actually look like anything changed? As of November 2025 they picked up at Grand Floridian as well.

This is a great improvement - previously if the busses stacked up behind each other it could be difficult to see which bus was loading for which destination. Are the Polynesian bus routes still sharing with other resorts?

Small edit: Magic Kingdom AND Epcot guests continue to use the monorail.
