Transportation for parents? - The DIS Discussion Forums

sothisisthemiracle · 09-09-2009, 03:40 AM

This might seem like a silly question, but my fiance and I were talking about the transportation options available. We haven't yet decided if we want to do a DFTW. I really want to, and he's on board, but we're both finishing school right now (I'm in nursing school and he's working on his PhD) and it's incredibly hard for us to save. If we did, we'd go with a Wishes ceremony for about 50 people.

Anyway, the question I have is just because we'd both like to have a sort of "special" mode of transportation for our respective sets of parents. Does anyone know if DFTW allows you to book a bus, a limo, the Model A, AND the Rolls Royce, all for the same event? Are you allowed to book the vintage cars if you're not going to use them for the bride and groom? My dad would really get a kick out of arriving at the ceremony in the Model A, and his dad would love the Rolls. We're fine with the limo (I've heard that the Rolls isn't good for tall people, which we both are, and my dad would kill me if I got the Model A and he didn't get to ride in it

) and are going to be using a charter bus for the rest of our guests.

I don't see why it wouldn't be possible, as long as they were all available and we were willing to pay for them, but I was just wondering if anyone knew if there'd be any snags in doing this or if it's just not possible.

TIA!

I think you can also hire transport from local vendors you don't just have to use Disney.

Disney has town cars you can rent for $25 one way for up to 3 guests in each. I am renting one for my grandmother and minister for a ride to the WP and then back to their hotel from the reception.

I'd think you'd be ok, the only thing is if a bride requests any of the custom cars for her wedding for the same day/time...it may get bumped to the bride/groom...

I'm really not 100%, maybe someone else here would have more info. And you can go through an outside vendor as well I know I just don't have any info in that regard. (sorry!)
