Does Radisson have a free shuttle to port?

[Terry in NJ]

Hi all!
Considering all the transportation options for the 2-16 Magic...
We are going down a day early and the Avis one day rental deal looks great from MCO to the Radisson. HOWEVER, how do we get to the port the next am? Free shuttle? Cab? Cab cost?
Thanks!

Both the Avis drop-off location and the Radisson itself offer shuttles to the ports.

A couple things about the free shuttle. We did that for our Sept 2001 cruise and didn't realize until we checked in that you have to schedule a time to be shuttled to the port, you just can't show up with your bags packed at the front door. We checked in at 7pm and the only times available were 9am or 2pm, so we had to pick 9am and sit around with 2 impatient 3 year olds at the port and wait to board. Also, when we disembarked, there were about 20 families all trying to use the free Avis/Radisson shuttle and it took forever to get on. The van only seats 10. Once we got back to Avis, there were 5 others in front of us-all who didn't have ressies and it took about an hour for us to finally get our car-even though we had ressies. They were also very low on car seats, so I'm glad I had called to reserve them ahead. It was cheaper, but we're not sure it was worth all the headache.

We had a slightly different experience than Tay N Evie's Mom did.
We rented from Avis and stayed at the Radisson for our Dec. 1st 7-day cruise. Upon check in we scheduled a shuttle with Radisson, but when we came the next morning to check out and return the car the Avis shuttle was out and ready and the Radisson shuttle was not.
The Avis shuttle driver said he would take us and just loaded up our baggage. It worked out well. We arrived around 10 am (I think, my hubby will post and correct me if I am wrong...He loves to do that )
Oddly enough on our return trip to Avis after the cruise the Radisson shuttle was there and no Avis. We asked the the driver said no problem. So, we did end up using both shuttles, just not in the order you would think.

we were told we can take either shuttle to the port in the morning. we're renting from avis to get to the Radisson from MCO on that Friday night.

In the morning, when we return the car, whichever shuttle is there is the one we'll use!

For the return we decided not to do the rental (afraid of delays) and am getting yourride to take us back to mco
