Last minute transportation ??'s

We leave in a week. Family of five staying at POR. No car.

I have a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone on the DIS will answer.

1. Travelling from POR to Yacht Club and back to get a Illuminations Cruise at 8pm. I'm thinking of eating at DTD and taking WDW bus to Yacht Club but not sure the easiest, less expensive way of getting back to POR after Illuminations? Also, how long should I leave in schedule to get from POR, DTD, eat (probably Wolfgang Puck Express) then the Yacht Club?

2. Seaworld. We are spending one day at SW. Can I get to DTD early enough in the morning to catch the Lynx to get to SW for opening? How much time should I schedule to get from POR, DTD, Lynx stop, SW?

3. Golfing Day- The males in our group are golfing at OSprey Ridge one afternoon. I know that resort guests can recieve complimentary cab to/from the course. Can they get this cab from a Park? We will be at DHS for the morning and then dividing up.

Thanks in advance to anyone for any insight on these questions.

1. The DTD hub TO a resort can be sporadic; you can wait an hour and you can wait fifteen minutes. Since the water taxi runs every ten minutes at that time of night, you are almost better off taking the water taxi back to POR and taking the bus to the park closest to the resort and switch there.

2. The bus for DTD at POR shows up exactly starting at 9:00 am and takes you over to the hub. Then whatever walking time is to get to the Lynx bus.

The DTD bus service going resort to resort is actually MORE helpful when you are returning to POR, not trying to get somewhere.

I always opt for whatever bus gets there first at the resort, a parks bus or a DTD bus. Both would take about the same amount of time; using a bus to switch resorts at a park, or using DTD to get back to the water taxi to POR.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!
