DCL Bus to Port

[mcgrawfan]

We will be flying in the day before the cruise and staying at a hotel near the airport. The next morning we will go back to the airport to catch the DCL buses. Where do we meet the bus. Is it near where the Mears buses run? Also do we just show up and get on or do we need to tell them what time we will arrive?

The buses last year were by the Mears spots. They are tons of DCL employees all over the airport that you will easily spot and they will take you to the buses.

Thanks Julie-- Where are you from? I am from Iowa too.

Actually, the DCL bus is run by Mears, so it is near the regular Mears shuttles. Just look for the medium blue jackets on the DCL cast members.

Yes, we too have used the Disney Cruise Line buses to PC. If you are keen to get on board the ship early to secure bookings for Palo, etc., then try and get to the meeting point fairly early (by Mears). I believe they start running the buses approx 10am. The journey is approx 45 mins, and there is a toilet on the bus - which is handy! The sooner you arrive at the terminal at PC, then you can get checked in and join the queue to board at midday.Nat

mcgrawfan-I live in Bettendorf! We are going on DCL 12/20 you must be soon after us! I used to go to Knoxville as a kid since my aunt/uncle/ cousins lived there. I think my aunt still lives there but we had a falling out so we haven't talked to them since my mom died in 94. Depending on your age, you might have gone to school with some of my cousins. Their name is Eckheart.
