It’s been hit or miss but it’s definitely possible you won’t be allowed in. They are trying to prevent people parking at a resort to avoid parking fees at the parks. And with Pop not having a sit down restaurant where you can get an ADR, you definitely might not be allowed in.
Just finished an 8 day stay at Jambo. First bus to DHS was 7:41, AK was 6:57, not sure on Epcot and Magic Kingdom. Bus info on the app was very accurate. Always got a seat on first bus in the morning. Had to wait a couple times at closing for a second bus. Overall busses were good. Did mobile order from Mara for dinner a few times. Food was good, limited choices. Lunch options at the pool bar were very limited. We mostly got lunch at the park. Pool not crowded at all. Was closed one day for scheduled maintenance. We went to the pool at Kidani- it was more crowded but no problem getting chairs. Shuttle over was easy.
Is there still distancing in place that would stretch the Everest line out so long?We are currently in Animal Kingdom, just wanted to pass along a "Posted Wait Times" reality check.
The Navi River Journey had a standby time of 40 minutes, my MDE app listed 35 minutes, another wait times app listed 30 minutes, we boarded the boat at 21 minutes.
Waiting in line now at Expedition Everest, posted standby time 50 minutes, MDE shows 35 minutes, I'll update when we reach the front.
The end of the line is back past the Nemo auditorium though.
Great- thank you! I've been a little worried as it's our first time staying here, so not knowing what to expect for "normal" times on top of the resort mostly being closed makes it tough! I've been hearing stories about bad bus service from other resorts, so wasn't sure how that was going at Jambo!
We’ve been here since 6/4 with 5 park days. I’m a big planner and FP+er too but have really had to go with the flow this trip. It’s been hard to predict when to do things and wait times posted aren’t always accurate. We are not really RD people and found closing the park to be best for us.Not sure if this is the right place but I need help with my nerves. We leave tomorrow morning and I’ve been a huge planner in the past. I knew how to work the Fp system to the biggest benefit. I’m just worried, the only game plan I have is reservations. I’ve checked touring lines for ideas but it really seems like rope drop break and then get a lot done after 4. I’ve been following here to get some ideas on what to do but I’m still not sure. I know I’ll be happy with whatever happens just worried since I feel like I have no plans lol With so many changes happening do I just keep the plan fluid and do what we want
Yes!

I’m guessing it is because you arrived in the afternoon so it wasn’t a problem and, you were going into the resort. What Disney has been trying to avoid is guests who are supposed to be dropped off at the TTC for rope drop, being dropped off at the Contemporary or GF and walking to MK. Resorts are not intended to be used for guest drop off to go to a park.
The best advice I’ve read here is that Rope Drop and evenings are best times for shorter lines.Not sure if this is the right place but I need help with my nerves.

Yes, we've experienced this too. We've seen them do it both ways and have actually had them direct my mom to the icon leaving MK, instead of going through the line, when the previous 2 nights she was told to go through the line...the inconsistency is really aggravating as my poor mom either feels like other ppl with think she's cutting them in line on purpose or she'll get sternly talked to from a cm telling her not to enter the line...definitely frustrating.
Yes, unfortunately we've found the same inconsistency at MK and it makes things challenging for my dad at the end of a long day. It would be much easier if they chose one way or the other and stuck to it.
I think part of the long lines is also that you used to have people in the fast pass line and standby line, but now they are all in standby so the lines stretch out longer.
Not the OP but The plexiglass dividers were still on frozen this past Friday. Hope that helps
It's been raining here today and that's messed with the rides
I was told two weeks ago that security will likely turn people away if they are not arriving through Disney transportation.
