ME to a different hotel than your reservation?

[absolut_mandy]

Hi Folks

Is it possible to take the ME to a hotel that you aren't staying at?

My sister's plane is coming in at 5:30pm and we are heading to MNSSHP that night. I was thinking if she could skip going to Pop (where we are staying) and go to the Contemporary it would save us some time b/c it's so close to MK.

Thanks for your help
Mandy

No, you need to take the DME to the hotel at which you have a reservation. The only loophole is that each bus goes to more than one hotel, so you could get off at another hotel on your route.

It seems to be somewhat random/somewhat planned as to which hotels go together.

I completely agree. You have to get on the DME bus for the hotel that you are registered at. Now no one will stop you from getting off at a different hotel on that same route but you won't be able to board a different DME bus other than the one that goes to your hotel.

Thanks for the info! I didn't think that it was possible but worth a try

Does anyone know the hotels on the POP loop? Is POP far from MK?

Thanks again for the help!

Pop is about twenty minutes from MK. I've never known of a DME bus to go to both Pop and an MK-area resort but - is everybody sitting down? - I don't know everything

The POP DME bus will, most likely, head to AKL (Kidani/Jambo House) and CSR...noplace near MK.

POP is almost always the first stop. Take a taxi from POP to the MK if you're running short on time (flight gets delayed)

If you think of it, can you let me know what color each Pop decade is? That's how I determine my requests

Something else to bear in mind, even if you were to get off at a different resort, you have all your luggage with you - unless you just have carry on - and you can't take your luggage on Disney Transportation so you would need to arrange a cab to get it to where you wanted it to go. It seems like the OP already has her question answered, but thought I would mention it for the benefit of anyone else considering attempting something similar.

Agreed!! I got off at a different resort once, but I had only a very tiny day bag with me, nothing under the bus, and someone else had already "checked me in" to my resort.

I was going to Coronado Springs, but the bus stopped at PoP first. There was no reason for me to actually go to Coronado Springs first, so I got off the bus at Pop, hopped on a bus to Downtown Disney, where I met my roomate and got room key. By doing that I was able to make the Balderdash Cup for the evening!!!! (Which is a good thing, cause I was only able to make one more Adventurer's Club outing after that trip)
