Not sure what the current setup since it's been a while since I stayed there, but I recall going to Fort Wilderness on some routes and to at least one of the Magic Kingdom resorts on other routes (? Grand California and/or Poly?)

That's correct...Fort Wilderness on some and Grand Floridian on others...but Wilderness Lodge is the firt stop so is very rarely standing room only.
I LOVE DISNEY WORLD!!!!!
A dream is a wish your heart makes and mine came true when I retired here in December 2014! I go to a park at least once a week!

We have stayed at WL around 6 or 7 times now. Sometimes the buses did share, other times we didn't. When we did share it was either with Fort Wilderness or Grand Floridian.
We stayed at WL just this past Feb. and we didn't share buses with any other resorts at all that week. I also don't recall having to share buses on our last few trips to WL which were in March and December of 2011. I do remember picking up at Fort Wilderness and /or Grand Flo in the past, just not our more recent trips.

When we were there in May we seemed to share a bus with Fort Wilderness when we were headed to Epcot, but it seemed to be only on the way there, and not on the way back to the resort. As others have mentioned we were always the first stop with Fort Wilderness being second. The only other place we took a bus to was AK, and I don't believe we stopped at any other resorts for that run. I know in the past we've also shared with the Grand Flordian, but I don't remember where we were on our way to.

I stayed there a number of years ago, and I remember sharing a bus with Ft. Wilderness on some of the runs, but I don't remember there being any inconvenience because of it.

We were at WL last week....
DTD/typhoon Lagoon and the AK buses stop at GF after picking up guests from the WL.
WL did share a bus on the way back from somewhere (I was too exhausted to remember from where) but stopped at WL first.

Is it just me, or does it seem a little odd that when staying at a deluxe resort, the bus picks up guests from other resorts? I was very surprised when we stayed at the Poly 7 years ago. We shared a bus with guests at the GF and sometimes with the Contemporary. When I've stayed at moderates, we never shared buses with other resorts. I do realize that CB has many guests.

I think it's because less guests use the buses system when they are staying at a Deluxe resort..I don't know why...we always park the car and take the Disney transportation EVERYWHERE! We never get lost that way

I remember having to go to Ft. Wilderness occasionally depending on route.
Usually we have a car, and pick and choose when to utilize Disney transportation, from WL basically was just common sense to use the boat to MK.
The only thing is, with the breaks we like to take mid-day and our usual dinner ADR's sometimes away from the parks, it is a lot of getting on this bus to get there and then wait for this bus. Time management becomes the give and take. Balancing is the half tank of gas throughout the week and driving more worth saving 3-7 hours of vacation time you'd otherwise be waiting for busses depending on how long you were there.

Yes, the buses share with either FW or GF.
It's annoying since neither of those is particularly close to WL.
