Wil there be bus transportation to ESPN Wide World of Sports for Resort Guests? We would love to go, but were not planning on renting a car this trip.
Hi Michael! Unfortunately the bus transportation system does not go to ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
How exciting! I especially can’t wait to see the passholder items. We will be there for the first Star Wars weekend and have been informed by our young sons that they are in desperate need of all the Star Wars toys 😉
Uh-oh…I’m worried now that the newly established Droid Factories (“Build Your Own Droid”) may only be around during Star Wars weekends this year. Does anyone know? Please tell me there will still be one available when we return in November! Thank you!
Melissa, you’re in luck! When you visit you’ll find the Droid Factory build stations at Once Upon A Toy in The Downtown Disney Marketplace and at Tatooine Traders in Disney Hollywood Studios.

When did they discontinue running the bus from Hollywood Studios to ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex?
Oh that Lady and the Tramp is presh!
Can you please tell us what are the passholder items for Star Wars Weekends since nobody else has yet and it’s less then 1 month away … also what are the pins and coins that will be available ?

If you plan on visiting Hollywood Studios, just outside of the main bus loop is a secondary row of bus stop locations. Inquire from a cast member at the front of that theme park as to whether the Wide World of Sports bus no longer runs; otherwise, it is bus stop number six on that secondary row.
