I just love this, those staying at a Disney resort will be able to check the app for bus times.

From DPBlog

Today, we’re rolling out a brand new bus time feature in the My Disney Experience mobile app that enables guests to spend less time waiting at the bus stop and more time getting ready for a fun-filled day in the parks. With this feature, guests can quickly discover up-to-the-minute estimates for when the next buses will depart from their Disney Resort hotel and when they will complete their journey to their destination.

The app regularly updates in real time to provide the most current estimates for buses heading to all four theme parks, two water parks and the Disney Springs area. Guests can access the feature throughout their stay by tapping “See Bus Times” when viewing an active Disney Resort hotel reservation associated with their account.

So I read this to mean you can only see bus times for your resort, not any resort on property.

If so, I don't like that limitation at all.

Oh, brother! I'm sure this is going to work as well as the clocks and arrival times posted at the bus stops. Or your seeing a bus leaving as your walking up and the signs that say another will be along in 20 minutes and 45 minutes later you have not seen hide nor hair of one. Sorry to rant, I really do find the bus system to be super and the bus drivers are truly the greatest. However, time keeping and running the buses in order of who should arrive next has never been exactly a Disney strength.

Yup. If this is just a hand held version of what currently exists at the stops that have the screens, I'm not sure this is much of an improvement.
