Grocery delivery and arriving late and a few transportation questions

[vbarry]

We will be arriving at MCO at 8:00 p.m. so I imagine we will get to OKW around 9:30 or 10. I want to have grocery delivery but will they deliver that late??

Also- how does ME do their drop off with OKW. The last time we arrived late to stay at AKV we had to drop off all of the All Start resorts first. We were the very last to be dropped off! If this is the way it will be I may consider a car service.

My ADR for Cinderella's Royal Table is the next morning at 8:00 a.m. How is the best way to get to the park?? Will there be buses running early when the park opens at 9 or should we take a cab?? Thanks for any advice. Counting down the days!!!

You can have your groceries delivered earlier and bell services will hold them for you. They even have refrigerator/freezer for your perishables.

DME buses don't follow a set route. They basically group together parties that arrive at the same time into logical routes. It's the luck of the draw as to which resorts will be on the same bus and which order the stops will be. We've somehow managed to be on the last stop a majority of the time.

Be sure to pack a carry on with clothes, because you may get your bags the next day with a late arrival.

For our trip a couple of weeks ago, we didn't arrive at OKW until well after midnight. They kept our food for us at bell services and then took us, along with the food, to our room in a van.

OKW was DME's first stop on that trip. I don't know if it is always that way or not, as this was the first time we used DME.

We didn't tag our checked luggage and collected them ourselves just in case they didn't make it to the resort with us at that late hour. It really wasn't that big of a deal to pick them up ourselves and take them with us to the bus.
