@BrerOswald So if I am staying off-site and have my tickets on a magic band will having remaining days on my ticket enable me to get on a DS bus OR will I need to have checked in at a park to ride a bus on that day?

I think DisTwitter collectively forgets that at least 60% of WDW visitors are offsite guests.

@btrich14x @BrerOswald There is plenty of surface lot parking available. I've never not been able to find a spot even during Christmas week.
English
Just my very small anecdote, but we go to springs once or twice a trip. We eat dinner, buy souvenirs, listen to the live music and buy a coffee/dessert. The last trip we circled the lime and orange garage for 15-20 min each and couldn’t find an open spot. I think Disney realizes this is a growing problem and it’s taking money out of their pockets both on the transportation side and the opportunity cost side and for that reason I can justify this move by them.
English
I’m almost more annoyed with the people defending this than I am with Disney
English
@Rosehaven13 @cynical_disney Next you will be complaining that the park parking lots are packed with locals.
English
@cynical_disney They can still park at the theme parks and take any of the transportation around to the resort.
This is just for them not to take up free parking for Disney Springs. Which should only be for Disney Springs.
English
Kind of lame ngl. I can understand doing this for the busy seasons but that’s about it. Permanently doing this (and wanting to expand it to other parts of the resort) defeats one of Disney’s selling points: resort hopping

Resort bus verification at Disney Springs is expected to become permanent. Cast Members will scan MagicBands to confirm a valid resort stay, dining res, or recreation activity before boarding. Rollout expected before the July 4 holiday week.

@BrerOswald I wonder how they will stop people walking to Saratoga Springs because that has to be part of the plan.
English
Honestly just done with this place. Very unlikely I go back and I’m sad about that.

BREAKING: Walt Disney World to implement permanent restrictions on bus and watercraft transportation for non-resort guests at Disney Springs starting next week DETAILS: blogmickey.com/2026/06/disney…

@SamMill40163752 @AnalytiKroll Honestly though isn't this where this is going. Supporters say it is needed to keep locals from using deluxe resort amenities. Isn't the next step limiting deluxe resorts to deluxe resort guests only? Imagine how many DVC rooms Disney could build on the value resort footprints.
English
@Spawn_of_Al @AnalytiKroll You people really are that damn entitled aren’t you? 😂
English
Most of the bus network at Walt Disney World is now going to be paywalled behind an onsite hotel reservation or upcharge activity. There will be not even be an option for guests without either to pay a fare for said buses.

@BlueBoxDave Please. A trans showing his tits on White House property pretty much nulls your point. Douche bag.

@WVmotoguy @TheBaconFather It's the yappy little ones we stay away from.

@TheBaconFather Saw a woman walking a big, scary looking Mastiff one day. Asked if I could pet him. She looked surprised, then said "of course"
Then I had a huge dog leaning against my legs while I scratched his ears. 😂
English
A stranger in the grocery store parking lot saw me pointing to his big fluffy dogs to the 10 year old. He said I could pet them if I wanted.
I had to set an example.
I told the boy do as I say, not as I do.
I told the boy it's not safe.
Then I walked over and pet the dogs.

@Jodicab22 And if they are dropping that much cash, they aren't losing all the time in the park by going to DS first, getting a bus at 9, getting to a resort at 930 and maybe getting in a park by 10.
English
@Jodicab22 This is what I don't get. Locals without APs would be spending $600-$800 for a family of 4 to attend a park and they "scamming" the system by parking for free at DS. If they are dropping that much for park tickets they aren't the ones using the facilities at a deluxe resort.

@scs_real @MelissaRNMBA I once saw a post that many oral surgeon DMDs get their MDs as well otherwise they are always known as "the dentist" in their profession circle. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
English
@MelissaRNMBA My best friend is a DDS but doesn't have a MD, although he has every other certification possible.
English
Because Europe required their dentists to be actual medical doctors. America doesn't require that so many more seek out that profession.
Skylar Skye@SkylarSkye3
Why does every American seem to have amazing teeth? Serious question.
English
@wakefieldreport Honestly, I don't really care. I do the right thing so it doesn't affect me. It only affects those who are trying to scam and not pay for parking.
English
For so long, despite the constant price hikes, Disney never felt completely like a walled garden (esp. to locals). This move seems one step closer to that becoming a reality.

We need to shout this from the rooftops as loudly as possible. WE 👏 DONT 👏 WANT 👏 THIS If they expand it beyond Disney Springs you literally won't be able to travel anywhere without having the exact authorization. So yes, it is death to resort hopping. The amount of money they're going to lose and the amount of guests they're going to inconvenience from this move is utterly insane. Reportedly this is to 'cut back' on the amount of busses and bus drivers resort-wide.
English
@themeparkdad_ @NCucerzan What vlogger crowd is advocating free parking at DS as a way to avoid paying for parking at the parks. I consume a lot of Disney related videos and never have seen such a suggestion.
English
@NCucerzan There's no way for Disney to know if you're going to the resort or not so you can thank the blogger crowd that pushed parking at Disney Springs as a likely big reason this is being put into place.
English
Cool but what if I wanted to go to a bar at a resort or someplace that doesn’t offer an ADR?
I get from DS to a park but DS to a resort? Thats a little much, isn’t it?

Joke's on her.. I would have never noticed.

@realBob_Johnson @BasedMikeLee This definitely is the more important question.
English
@BasedMikeLee Why do a few senate republicans oppose it so aggressively?

@ClckbaitCorless I would go even further. The poors from the All Stars shouldn't be allowed to set foot on a deluxe/DVC property.

WE WANT THIS! Stop being greedy with your money and support the multi billion dollar corporation... Josh needs aa 5th house and 3rd Yacht....

@SixMilesTall @Dc5997Arlene Define freeloader. If someone is avoiding the parking fee they still paid a shitload for park tickets. You're talking about parking at DS, going to a resort to watch fireworks without spending a dime. How about if they dine at a resort and stay to watch. Are they freeloaders?
English
It’s also meant to cut back on crowds from overcrowding resort spaces meant for guests actually paying for resorts and amenities - including limited numbers of seats of transportation.
Resort hopping isn’t something set in stone, even if Disney sells a couple more plushies than normal. Resort-paying guests have always deserved respect.
Resort hop on YouTube, or pay for a room.
