WDW Resorts w/ transfer to port?

[GuardMusic]

I'm looking for the list of WDW Resorts that have transfer service to the port. I saw a list on the DCL FAQ sticky, but that list doesn't match the list in my Passporter. I need a comprehensive accurate list! Please don't make me actually call DCL!

The DCL FAQ is pretty up to date...I would tend to use that above the Passporter. What edition of Passporter do you have? If we find that the list has indeed changed, the FAQ will be updated!!

The FAQ can't be up to date. We took a transfer to the port from Wilderness Lodge and it's not on the list.

Any book is out of date before it is published, and the list of hotels with DCL transfer service keeps increasing.

When going to the port:
Currently ALL moderate and Deluxe resorts except Coronado Springs have DCL bus service. ALL DVC resorts have DCL bus service. NO value resorts have DCL bus service .

With the opening of Bay Lake Tower (DVC), the Contemporary now has DCL bus service. Wilderness Lodge has had it for years. FORT Wilderness does not.

From the port if going back to WDW, the DCL bus will take you to any resort (no, one bus does not go to all of them, but they do provide service to all!)

Very accurate info, thanks. Just wanted to add that if you book a land/sea and DCL puts you at the Swan/Dolphin, then you get DCL transport to the port.

Kcashner can you find out for me if the DCL picks up in front of the Bay Lake Towers, or in front of the Contemporary. We sail this Sunday and are staying at BLT pre-cruise on a separate reservation, not land/sea but purchased DCL transfers to the port.

Thank you....staying at a moderte so transportation was easy. Staying at value on way back and thought they didn't go there. Saves me money on a rent a car.

Hey, I'm good, but I'm not that good. I'll find out when I go down on Sunday, but that won't help you. The bellman will be able to tell you as soon as you get there....or the check in desk...or the DCL hostess desk.

It's not a hassle though--if you have transfers the bellman will pick up your luggage at your room. Your only responsibility is to be at the designated meeting place at the appointed time. Those details are provided in writing the night before your departure and are also available at the desk at check in.

We are staying at the yacht club but were told that we need to go to the beach club side to meet the bus to get to the port. Does anyone know if this is the case or does the bus come around to the yacht club? I figured that I would have bell services bring our bags over to the beach club has anyone else done this? Depending on where our room is located it can be a long trk with all our luggage!

OK, anything Disney is subject to change....but when we stayed at Beach Club, the same bus stopped at Yacht Club, Beach Club, and Boardwalk. 3 stops, same bus.

In any event, you will not have to handle your luggage at all. Your DCL transfers include luggage service. All you'll need to do is have your bags ready at the appointed time. The instructions have varied from one cruise to another--sometimes we were to call Bell Services and tell them we were ready, other times they just "magically" appeared at the appointed time. They will pick up your bags EARLY--usually 8:00--and take them to the truck. Your luggage will not go on the bus with you; it will go earlier on a truck so that by the time you get to the terminal your luggage is already being sorted and is in the "deliver to staterooms" process. Luggage delivery to the rooms runs from the time the first bag gets there till 6 pm. SOmetimes it will be outside your room when you arrive, other times it will appear throughout the afternoon.
