One of the reasons that using the "big 3" hotels is so important is that the busses stop running to the outlying hotels after some totally rediculous time like 9 pm. Most of the important "networking" is just getting started by then! :)
I would suggest that each conference hotel have one bus that runs every 30 minutes from the Dolphin to the other hotels (like CB, PO, ALS) starting at 9:30 pm and going until midnight. At most that's three extra busses on rotation, and it would make the cheaper hotels more attractive for lodging.

I can't believe that somebody else hadn't yet posted this idea. Fabulous Duffbert!

Stayed at an outlying hotel in '96. It sucked. The bus schedule felt like a curfew. Good idea.

Or provide vouchers for cabs :-)

Never thought of this, I drive to the Sphere.
If I stay off site again, I always ask if anyone neerds a lift. But you know at 1am, y'all are just getting started.

If you get caught - yeah, I know this stinks. Take Disney bus to Downtown Disney. There you can pick up a bus to any Disney resort.
But who wants to sit on a bus with tired Mouseketeers? I voted "promote"

I have never had an issue with this because of the fact that Disney transportation can get you to any of their resorts... Downtown Disney is a great option and the buses generally are not that crowded that late... unless you hit right at the time of a park closing... From downtown Disney you can take a bus back to any resort. They run very frequently, like every 10-15 minutes. Also, if you are staying at Port Orleans or Riverside, there is a bus that goes to one of the theme parks and you can take a boat back... a little more leisurely.
The only thing that I don't like about staying on property is the lack of transportation to escape and get off property. It gets annoying to buy $25.00, 750ml bottles of wine that basically, you can get the same brand as 1.5L for about 12.00 off property. I have to admit though, it is kind of funny to buy a bottle of wine on property and to have the cashier finish up the sale with "Have a magical evening!". I am always thinking to myself.... not with one bottle of wine I won't.
