But on sunny days, Tracy, those buses to EPCOT and Disney's Hollywood Studios typically do not run from Pop Century. Guests planning to visit those two theme parks must take the Disney Skyliner, while guests heading to Magic Kingdom Park and Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park would hop aboard a bus.

In 2026, the short answer is no, there is no direct Disney bus between EPCOT and Pop Century Resort during standard operating hours. This is because both EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios are served by the Disney Skyliner aerial gondola system, which is the primary and highly efficient transportation link for Pop Century guests. Disney generally removes bus service when a higher-capacity alternative like the Skyliner or Monorail is available. However, a "backup" bus service may be activated if the Skyliner is closed due to high winds, thunderstorms, or scheduled maintenance. For guests who prefer not to use the gondolas, the only other "free" option in 2026 is to take a bus from Pop Century to a different park (like Magic Kingdom) and then transfer to an EPCOT-bound bus, though this is time-consuming. Alternatively, the paid Minnie Van service (via Lyft) or a standard ride-share can provide a direct road connection if you wish to avoid the Skyliner.
