You can take the Disney Cruise Line bus to the port, but it's not automatic and it's not free. You must reserve and pay for the transfer.

Thank you. This will be happening this Sunday.

Here's what I hope to do (in alphabetical order, not in order of first to last): Animal Kingdom: Avatar - Flight of Passage Expedition Everest Na'vi River Journey [Dinosaur if we think there's time] Disney's Hollywood Studios: Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Star Tours Toy Story Mania Epcot: Soarin'...

We have a tour scheduled for this coming Sunday. It'll be our one and only park day, so we're going to try to fit in all four parks? We're starting in the afternoon and intending to end at 9:00 p.m. to get a good spot for Happily Ever After. Here's my biggest question: do we need to reserve...

Bypass the one-size-fits-all online problem by calling DME directly at 866-599-0951. Explain your situation and they will know how to handle it for you; you won't have to figure out dummy flight information and so on. Unless something has recently changed, it is important to have a DME...

By the way, there's no such thing as a credit card on file or credit card of record unless you set up a room charge; you must opt-in to have room charging privileges, it isn't an automatic thing like at most other hotels in the country. Without setting up a room charge, Disney doesn't require...

Bottom line: ANYTHING you check with the airline, Disney's Magical Express will deliver to your resort room just like any other piece of checked luggage. If it flies with the airline, it flies with DME.

There are two reasons why I put very very little stock in negative reviews of Disney resort buses: 1) People very rarely post positive reviews when normal things work normally. For example, you almost never read reviews saying, "I checked into my room and there was no trash on the floor" or "No...

And when the sister resorts share buses, POFQ is usually the first stop, then the bus goes to POR. The only regularly-scheduled exception to this is the bus to Disney Springs, which stops at POR stops first. [I caution, however, that its been years sice I stayed there and it's possible things...

Actually, there is such a thing as a Disney Cruise Line bus. It's what Disney uses for people who buy ground transportation from DCL between MCO or a Disney resort to Port Canaveral. And just like with Disney's Magical Express, Mears is the subcontractor for the DCL bus service. Because it's all...

Every halfway decent hotel in the USA will store bags on check-in day if your room isn't ready yet.

If you're just looking for a beach experience, Magens Bay will be great. But if you're looking for a beach AND snorkeling, Trunk Bay is worth the extra travel time.

Yes, still true, in both directions. You can go from any theme park to any other theme park by direct bus. The only exception is Magic Kingdom <--> Epcot which is by two monorails.

You definitely want to take the boat. Taking a bus from Hoop to Epcot isn't as easy as it sounds because you'd first have to take a Fort Wilderness internal shuttle from Hoop to the front of the resort, THEN wait for an Epcot bus, and then at Epcot wait for a CBR bus. At WDW, as I guess...

Spirit is good when things go right. And there are no hidden fees. Spirit is very upfront about their fees. The American consumer is really funny about this kind of stuff. We object to being "nickled and dimed" with a $15 seat fee, a $28 checked bag fee and a $30 carry-on fee added to our $119...

Yes, odd and annoying.

But this doesn't apply to Spirit Airlines' Big Front Seats. There is definitely LOTS of leg room. I fly in Spirit's front row as often as I can (when flying Spirit), so I'm quite experienced with this exact airline. Every time, I've had room to straighten my legs out, and I've had room to...

You don't need a concierge and you don't need to pre-schedule. Taxis are plentiful at Disney resorts. If you don't see one when you walk out to the porte cochere (main drive-up entrance to the resort), ask any bell services cast member you see hanging around. They'll happily summon a taxi for...

I've never driven in the Orlando area. If I can't get there by Disney Transport (or Disney's Magical Express) then I don't go there. My absolute favorite part of a Disney vacation is not even having a car key in my possession. Car service between home and airport, and then Disney takes care of...

Definitely 100% certain there is LOTS of legroom in Spirit's Big Front Seats. And certain (as you've already learned) that you must store any items in the overheads. Here's the problem with that: Spirit has boarding zones, and Zone 1 is reserved for folks who pay for carry-ons. I recently had...
