Now that the Disney Skyliner has been open for awhile, Disney is drawing down bus departures from Disney’s Pop Century Resort to Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Effective this week, bus service will be running every 20 minutes in the early to take Guests to Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot.

However, once the Skyliner begins running around 8:00 AM, bus service will only be offered once per hour, and guests staying at these resorts will be encouraged to use the Skyliner to get to Epcot at Disney's Hollywood Studios.  Bus service to Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom will not be affected by these schedule changes.

5. The Festival of Fantasy parade resumes 3:00 start time

The 3:00 parade has become such an institution at the Magic Kingdom that Disney has even created a line of merchandise themed around the classic tourist question "When is the 3 'o clock parade?" And even though the daily Festival of Fantasy parade moved to 2:00 PM through the holiday season, effective January 1, 2020 the parade will move back to 3:00 PM.
