Yay for PRIVATE shuttle!

PS - I'm spoiled, I know!!! Love you mom and dad!!!!!

They change it up to nessitate their needs. The busy schedule is CR, Poly, GF.
Sometimes it's Poly, WL, GF.

It really is great, but we just get a service to pick us up so that we can get a stop at publix and arrive with our luggage in style. Cost is about $220 round trip. Cheap considering what your already paying. The driver shows up at the bottom of the escalator with a sign.. Goes to luggage place and loads it up in the car while you wait. Here is a pic of our car last year.

I really like the personal service.

We did that one year but the guy was like a military dude. Felt like I had a body guard instead of a driver.

yep.. People were trying to look in. Lol

Tinkerbellie, your family is just beautiful!

Funny about the clothes. My family is exactly the same!

I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin! I will be hugging my loved ones a little extra tight tonight, while saying a prayer for peace for your family.

We had a great WDW vacation last summer. We did one week at a mod (CSR) with free dining. It was so inexpensive compared to our Poly trips, and we loved every moment of it! Every WDW vacation is so special! And now we can't wait to get back to our favorite, Poly!

Beautiful fam!!!! And, the clothes situation for DH and I is the same here!!!! DH is always complaining about having nothing to wear because I give all of our money to the mouse!!! LOL!!!

Your family is adorable! I am glad to see another mom and dad that care more about family vacations then clothes, that is how we are too.
Tokelau is our favourite too!!
It is funny what you said about the kids club, after day 5 and our stress at DD, we didn't think twice about doing it. We all needed a break from eachother and the kids loved having other kids around them again to play with, not just eachother

Thanks everyone! I am so ridiculously happy at Disney Although I got braces last year so I refused to smile too much in last year's vacation photos. I get the braces off in 2 weeks!

Ok for those who fly into Orlando international airport, when getting onto the bus for the poly does anyone know where it stops at as in resort order. Example the POR bus stops at Saratoga, then pofq, then POR.

Thank you.

It varies but usually they share with GF and Contemporary and sometimes WL. Everytime we have taken ME though, they have dropped off at the Poly first (I don't know if that is routine, or luck!)

I finally rented a car last year and while I LOVE Magical Express, it was really nice to have the car there (especially for groceries, Downtown Disney, and the waterparks). It is not a far walk to the parking lot at the Poly either.

MY GOODNESS CARL! I'm hitching a ride with you!!!

 

[jandkmom]

We always had Poly dropped off first (even when we weren't staying there). You just have the deluxes on your bus though, so it doesn't take too long either way.

Probably right. Thank goodness the occupy people weren't around

Let's go!!..

I stress too much about the luggage with MAgical Express. You won't know if a bag is missing until they bring your bags sans one.. AAAAAH! Then you will have to deal with the phone calls and the possibility of a delivery of your found bag at 2am.

I'm with you. Even when we use ME, we get our bags and bring them on the bus ourselves.

Asking you Carl and anyone else, Do you have a lot of luggage go missing when staying at the poly? I have never had an issue at POR. There was once we read about someone had a suitcase broken into and supposedly it had 2 iPads in it, a laptop computer, and mac-book air. Supposedly it was broken into between airport and hotel. But they never provided proof they even owned them to begin with.

Noo.. We did have our credit numbers lifted at WL. They didn't take the card but just took the numbers.. Didn't notice until we were auditing our trip. The only reason we noticed was the charges were for valet. We don't drive soo..

The airlines are cracking down on the employee theft of bags though. The was a sting operation set up in philly airport.. And they were busted stealing. The travel insurance would have. Covered the loss of their equipment if they would have purchased it.
It's not so much the loss of the items for us.. It's the hassle of having to buy new underwear.
