Shuttles begin running at 7:00 AM and continue running until 30 minutes after the Disney theme parks close. Rides cost $6 per day.
We assume that the fact that the other hotels wanted to join the bus was because their guests were asking about being able to take a shuttle. They likely were being asked about replacements for the ART shuttle service.
