DCL transfers from WDW resorts...

[EmmasGrammy]

Is there a schedule anywhere posted that tells the times the DCL buses pick up cruise passengers from the WDW resorts and takes them to the port following the land part of a land/sea package? Or will anyone share what time they have been picked up at the resorts to go on the cruise? If possible I would like to know the name of the resort or park where you were picked up and the time you were picked up and the time you made it to the port for boarding.

I have read the DCL buses pick up rather late from the resorts and get you to the ships after all the ressies are taken. That won't be a problem for us because we won't be visiting the spa or Palo's on this trip. I know other folks have posed this question also and I don't think it has ever been answered.

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide!!

If I remember correctly...the last land/sea we did we were staying at the Riverside and the bus picked us up at 1pm. It was kinda bad because you have to check out of your room by 11am. We got to the port about an hour later and we still got a reservation for palo.

I looked on our documents for this coming trip next month and it says we get picked up at 1pm again and we are still staying at the Riverside. As for other resorts, I don't know. If you have your documents and booked DCL transfers it should say what time you get picked up. Or maybe you can call the resort??

Anyway...Hope your stay is Magical!!!!

We stayed at Riverside and I think our pickup was 11:45am. I do believe that the pickup times vary from week to week. When you check in they will tell you the time for your pickup.

Even though we left earlier, we were locked out of most reservations when we got to the ship. If this is not a factor for you than it shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you for the responses! I am just being a worry wart!!

I thought I had read, some while ago here on the boards, that a family checked out of the resort, left their luggage to be picked up and taken to the ship, and went to the Animal Kingdom Park because their pick up time was so late. If I remember correctly, they were picked up at the Animal Kingdom by a Cruise Line bus.

We are not doing the "ressies rush", so if we indeed have a late pick up time we will go and enjoy a park!

Thanks again for your imput!!
