I had a question on the resorts thread about best place to stay before a cruise and they recommended the Hyatt MCO for our needs, but referred me here because I had heard bad things about the Hyatt process.
Our group - 10 total. 8 adults (1 can’t do stairs or walk far, 1 is in a wheelchair but can stand/use walker but couldn’t climb in a regular bus), 2 kids (9 and 18 mos at time of sailing). Only 2 people with silver status. Everyone else is first time.
We were thinking DCL transport because we need an accessible option, we will need baggage assistance, and we wanted to get as early a boarding time as possible because we have a large group, wheelchair, and stroller and wanted to avoid the most crowded time and be able to find space to sit. We also wanted to board in time to make the sit down lunch for those reasons. We don’t want to deal with the wheelchair at a first day buffet.
Staying at the Hyatt would be easier, and cheaper, than a Disney hotel on arrival day. However, we had heard horror stories about the DCL transport from the airport being a mess and long lines and not a reliable way to get there early, whereas DCL hotel buses tend to arrive first.
Is the Hyatt transfer situation bad enough that we should avoid and endure the extra hassle of doing a Disney hotel or would the Hyatt still be best despite our group size, lack of cruise status, and extra needs?
