Does DCL runs buses from WDW on Saturdays for the Magic Cruise?

Inspired by another thread....does DCL have buses that run on Saturday from WDW to the Port for the 7 day cruise?

I just assumed they did since so many people stay at WDW before the cruises. Now I am not sure. Anyone have any insight?
If they do run buses, which resorts are the pick up spots?

Thanks.

Disney provides a transfer service from various WDW resorts to the port as well as from the airport to the port. According to my information:

The DCL motor coach runs from/to:
Orlando International Airport to Port Canaveral
Port Canaveral to Orlando International Airport
Walt Disney World Resort To Port Canaveral
Port Canaveral to Walt Disney World Resort

The Walt Disney World Resort locations include the following hotels only:
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin
Disney's Board Walk Inn & Villas
Disney's Contemporary Resort
Disney's Polynesian Resort.
Disney's Port Orleans Riverside (Dixie Landings Resort)
Disney's Port Orleans Resort.
Disney's Beach Club Resort.
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort.

Depending on whether it is a one way, two way, or a tri leg trip (airport to resort, resort to port, port to airport) the cost will vary. I am not sure what a round trip is currently but I think it is around $46 per person. You may get the transfers from DCL. To buy them, you order them with your package, buy them from the DCL agent at the Orlando airport or at one of the hotels included in the packages. Hope that answers the question.

DixieDreamer.....yes, thank you, I do know about the transfers to and from, we have taken them several times.

What I am wondering is if Disney specifically picks up on Saturdays for the 7 day cruise from the WDW Resort. I was not sure if Disney did this because usually the 7 day cruise-only is not part of the standard land/sea package. The last time we did the 7-day cruise only we had our own car so transfers were not an issue.

I 'll call DCL and see. Thanks.
