How are the shuttles from Sheraton Safari

[bizeemom4]

Sheraton Safari is our first stop on our two week Thanksgiving stay. How long is the commute using their shuttles? It looks like the MK shuttle leaves the hotel at 7:50. Are there lots of stops afterwards? Any help would be appreciated!

I need to know too!!! Anyone stay there from the $1.00 night Holiday Inn yet?
We need a report. I will be there Oct 29- Nov 5. :cheer2:

someone I work with will be going on the 28th. When I see her after Labor Day I will let you all know. If anyone goes before let us all know. I believe the first date that this was available was 8/20.

I'm curious to hear how it goes, too! I'm going on September 21-October 5 with 5 kids, and was hoping to not rent a car.

We have two nights booked in late October and I have been wondering the same thing. I hope someone gives us some good info soon...

It's been about 5 years since we stayed at the Sheraton Safari and took their shuttles. We went in early November and I remember that the shuttle did stop at other hotels along the way. I don't remember how long the trip took but I do remember that they left the parks on time. I remember thinking you better not be late for that last bus of the day.

I also remember feeling from that trip that it would have been quicker and easier to pay the daily parking fee instead.

Hi,

I stayed at the SS from 9/22-9/24. The shutles to the parks run every 2.5 hours on average. The shuttle went to multiple parls...one to the MK and the AK, the other to MGM and EPCOT. It stopped at 3 other hotels in the morning, but only at the Sheraton on the way back. I thought the shulle timing was a pain, but worth it since for the rate of $1.13 per night :)

I just got back from the Sheraton Safari and I think I still have a copy of the bus schedule. If anyone would like a copy, email me at tyrone@kytravels.com.
