DME- all MK resorts on same bus?

[dkoerner27]

we are surprising my brother and staying in the contemporary-tower MK view, but he thinks we are staying at the WL. Are all the MK resorts on the same DME bus?

Not necessarily. I wouldn't count on being able to keep the surprise once you get to the DME counter.

I know that the Poly, GF and WL CAN be on the same route, but I'm not sure about CR.

We were successful in hiding a switch from WL to GF from our kids (they're 16 and 13 so it was quite a trick) until we got to the GF, but it took a bit of luck. The head of the line was fine as the sign had both WL and GF on it. The bus happened to be going to both WL and GF, and stopping at GF first. The trick is that you have to confirm verbally for the CM where you are going there and again at the bus. I just spoke quietly and DW distracted the kids.

If all goes well it is possible to get through, but I wouldn't count on being able to keep the secret. If you can it's worth it! Our kids literally were unwilling to get off of the bus for a minute because they thought we were at the wrong resort.

the DME CM's try and fill a bus as best/feasible as they can.

i'd suggest telling your party that it looks like they are squeezing us onto the bus which gets us to the hotel earlier. i doubt anyone will be suspicious and go along.

We stayed at Bay Lake Tower in July (same stop as the Contemporary) and all of the MK resorts were on the same bus. We went from the airport to the Polynesian to the Grand Floridian to Wilderness Lodge to Contemporary.

I do not know if this is how it always works but that was our experience. Good luck and have a great trip!
