While nothing has been officially confirmed by Disney yet, there have been some consistent reports suggesting that WDW may begin permanently restricting bus transportation from Disney Springs to resort guests only.
I’ll admit, as someone who has definitely “gamed” the bus system over the years as a non-resort guest, this would be a bit of a bummer. If you’re willing to put in a little effort, parking at Disney Springs and using the bus system can open up opportunities for a “free” day resort-hopping—and even getting creative access to the parks if you really plan it out.
That said, I can also understand why Disney might want to tighten things up, especially with increased crowds and demand.
They've been doing the same thing for vehicle access---whether your own or a rideshare---to the resorts for several years now. This is another step along that path. I miss being able to e.g. drop in to Riverside for Yee Haw Bob, but I definitely get it. I do enough resort dining that I'll still have plenty of opportunities to visit them. We are here now---yesterday we had breakfast at Kona, today is dinner at Steakhouse 71. Toledo at Coronado Springs in a couple of days.
