DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info DISapalooza

I think it is a fair question. The answer, unless something has changed, is that there is no "park bus" from DTD. Buses run from DTD to the resorts, not to (and from) the parks. I'm not sure about TTC, though.

Ok...thanks!!

Terri,
The DTD buses only travel to the Resorts for Resort guests, there is not a bus to the parks from DTD.
I have never taken a cab from a offsite hotel to any of the parks, as I have had a rental car the times I stayed off property so I cannot give you an answer to that part of your question. You might check with your offsite hotel, many of the offsite hotels offer some type of shuttle service to the parks, some free, others at a minimal cost.

But...would I get into trouble for using the bus??..and this is only if the hotel doesn't offer a shuttle service to the parks or something.

Also check out the Delloutlet. I would personally never buy another computer with Vista on it and at BestBuy that is all you are going to get.

OK...is this dell outlet thing online or is it an actual store?? I personally have never heard of it..


I hate life sometimes....just when I think I can do it...something pops up...oh well...maybe someone will drop like $10,000 in my lap and say "Here!! Just because!!"

At least it's a sunny day outside!!!

Due to all the bugs in Vista, I would wait until the new Windows OS comes out next month and wait a few weeks to see how well it performs, before making a purchase.

I recently purchased a Dell with XP Pro (Vista downgrade) and a free 7 upgrade. I don't know if all companies are offering this or not.

Vista is just not for me. I am not sure if I will like 7 either.

It is a website. Just search Dell Outlet. A lot of computer companies have online outlets that offer refurbished computers. I have had fairly good luck with Levono refurbished laptops, but they were still IBM at the time.

The cab cost would depend on where you are staying. I bet if you called them, they could tell you what the cost would be. I would also check if they have a shuttle to WDW. Many of the local hoteld do. The buses at DTD go to the Disney resorts. You might think of checking out a rental car. Sometimes you can get really good rates in Orlando.

Glad you got a good hotel rate!

If I had my license, I'd rent a car!! LOL!! But...I will definitely check into that hotel and see if they have a shuttle that will take me back and forth.

Thanks everyone for not flaming me...yet!!

I'm assuming that if you are wanting to use a DTD bus to the parks then you are staying at one of the DTD hotels. They have a shuttle service to and from the parks that stop in front of several hotels. If you're staying at a DTD hotel then you can use the shuttle. The hotel will have a map and times guide for you.

We stayed at a DTD hotel last year. We had won three night at the DoubleTree. It was heavenly. I saw the very prompt shuttle on more than one occasion. We had a rental car and didn't use the shuttle. The DTD hotel area is very nice with sidewalks between the hotels. Easy to walk from one to the other.

I have stayed at a few of the DTD resorts and used the shuttles to the parks. They run frequently and are nicer then the Disney buses! Very comfortable!

Hi guys!

I have two questions...

1. What are our transportation options when leaving the party on that Saturday night at DHS?


2. What DTD hotels have you guys stayed in or recommend?

My DAP Sunday Night MVMCP tickets came today

YEAH!! I got mine a couple of days ago, too! FUN FUN!

My DAP Sunday Night MVMCP tickets came today

Awesome!!! I did mine will-call. See you there.

We have ours on will-call as well.
See you there.

We just got our MVMCP tickets also!!

Instead of mail and/or will-call - I just did e-tickets & printed them myself.
I did that last year and it works great.

 

[kathrna]

WHEW! I hadn't been here since Monday! TEN PAGES!! You all are fast! I'm crunching numbers as well for AP's. Decisions decisions! What to do, what to do??!! I've got access to the 15 month thing. When to buy it?? Did they mention if there was an expiration to the promo? I wonder if those are also offered at Shades of Green (w/the three mo. bonus). Buying APs X three = OUCH!! But it's all worth it in the end!

Terrie, I've bought a desktop off ebay. I personally don't think it was worth it. I'm not computer savvy enough to check things out. I took it to a shop to get it checked out, make sure it was clean and virus free, etc. When that was said and done I could have just lumped all my $$ together and bought a low end computer. I'd buy new unless you've got mad computer skills to run a complete once over on it. IMO.

Todd, congrats on the stEEEEk! And thanks for being patient and explaining it to me over on FB. I don't need a stEEEk, I just need a new camera.

Maroo, I'm glad that you are feeling better. I've not read your blog yet. Yesterday news was put out that three soldiers had died from my DH's unit, so I need to have a tear free day today. I DO look forward to reading about Lucas' trip. You are so special! You do wonderful things.

OK everyone, enjoy your weekend!

OK....so I have a feeling that I'm going to open a sore subject here, but am I allowed to catch a park bus from DTD even though I'm not staying on property?? I will have my tickets, but I just wanted to know how this works. Also, if that's a no-no, how much do the cabs cost???

I'm not trying to start anything...I just wanted to know what's goin on is all. Thanks

Last year, we had checked out of our resort, the boys went one way, I went to DTD to shop. When I was finished, I boarded a bus to my favorite DVC resort, got off at the stop that would be the last for p/u to go to the designated meeting park and away I went. Technically I was still eligible to ride (as we'd just checked out that day) but no one asked to see my KTTK card. I think as long as you look like you know what you're doing you'll be fine. If you don't ie: you've not been on the bus system a lot then don't. It's really your call. You're supposed to be a resort guest; but I would try if it were me.

Do the MVMCP tickets you get in the mail have a hoilday theme or anything?

I usually get the DVC discount and then you have to pick up at will call. This year we are probably not going on a night with a discount so I was thinking about purchasing them and having them sent to me.

Mine do not have a holiday theme on them.

Thanks. I guess it doesn't really matter. I always wanted my MVMCP tickets to look different than my standard KTTW card.

Hi guys!

I have two questions...

1. What are our transportation options when leaving the party on that Saturday night at DHS?

I believe we will need to find our own transport back to our respective hotels, as the Disney bus system will have gone to bed by then.

Oh dear. Do I need to start teaching my 12 year old how to drive now? <biting my lip>

Depending on if/when the live recording is, that will decide when we have dinner. Haven't thought of where we would 'meet' anyone. I figure that you can't miss me!

I was thinking more along the lines of a taxi....and I think we'd be sober by Saturday night...

I'm glad Hope and I are at the Dolphin. It should be an easy wander back there after the party.
