My flight will be landing at 6p in MCO. I am staying at Caribbean Beach. I have a reservation at Hoop Dee Doo at 8:30p. Is this cutting it too close to take Magical Express? Should I plan on Uber?
Yes...I def. wouldn't be relying on Disney transportation for those times.My flight will be landing at 6p in MCO. I am staying at Caribbean Beach. I have a reservation at Hoop Dee Doo at 8:30p. Is this cutting it too close to take Magical Express? Should I plan on Uber?
Luggage?You could take DME to CBR then Uber from CBR to FW and probably be fine, but at that point why not just head there directly from MCO.
Luggage?
I was thinking specifically carry on. It's advisable to bring everything you need for the first 24 hours in your carry on in case there's an issue with your bags (whether caused by the airline or DME, doesn't matter). For some people that's a backpack. For others, it's a duffel bag, for others, a small suitcase. But you asked why not go straight to HDD... one answer is "luggage".See that thread about DME taking your luggage without you riding. Would depend on what kind of carry-one you have.
That has not been allowed. You can only get on the bus going to your resort. It worked for you because you were on the right bus.Here is an out-of-the-box idea. Why not take the Express directly to Fort Wilderness?
You’d need to explain the situation to the cast member signing you in at the bus, but I think they’d accommodate... (unless there is some specific rule for safety/insurance/liability that says they can only drop you at your reservation).
Call the DME phone number and see if it’s allowed.
I got off at the ‘wrong’ hotel on purpose because I needed to get to RunDisney Marathon Registration before it closed. So, I jumped off the bus as soon as I was on Disney property to take the random hotel’s shuttle to the ESPN Sports Area. That’s slightly different because I was still on the ‘right’ bus whereas you’d need to be on a different route entirely.
if you UBER to FW you will need to take an internal bus to other end of campgroundYou could take DME to CBR then Uber from CBR to FW and probably be fine, but at that point why not just head there directly from MCO.
When was the last time you flew on a plane? Late departures/arrivals are very common due to overcrowded airports. If losing money and missing the show is alright with you then...
What time of year? Weather for afternoon early evening flights into MCO are FREQUENTLY affected by weather. I would change my reservation to another night.
I'm not going to be checking a bag, so I think I'll chance getting an Uber straight to CBR from the airport. I figure if I can drop my bag off, I can take bus to MK and boat to HDDR. If I'm tight on time, Uber right to HDDR from airport.
