Need land and sea ground transportation options- HELP

[DonaldsGrl103]

Hi,
We booked our land and sea package seperately so we desperately need your help. We are arriving at MCO airport on the 23rd and need transportation to the walt disney world dolphin, then on the 28th we need transportation to the port as our cruise starts, but then we need transportation on the 1st back to MCO- so what will this cost us for two adults? and where do we book it? Renting a car is not an option.

Please help us
Thank you

For just 2 of you, your best bet is DCL transfers. You book them by calling DCL.

Since you have a ressie at the Dolphin, I'm really not sure whether Magical Express goes there or not. Call them and find out. If you can use ME, there is no charge. You get off your plane and go to the ME desk (there are lots of WDW reps around). They will put you and your luggage on a bus to the resort. If the Dolphin is not part of the deal, you can purchase Mears Shuttle at the airport, and they will take you to the Dolphin. You don't need to book Mears ahead.

Port Canaveral to MCO is easy--just DCL transfers.

Again, I'm not sure whether DCL transfers serve the Swan/DOlphin. If not, you can have the bellman there transfer you to the Boardwalk or Beach CLub and arrange your DCL transfers from those hotels.

I'd start with a call to DCL. Ask whether the DCL transfers will pick you up at the Dolphin. If not, book a pick up at one of the other Epcot area resorts as well as the transfers from port to MCO. Then call your resort and check on Magical Express.

The cost for DCL transfers is $30 per person per "leg." A "leg" is any time you get onto their bus (Port to MCO, WDW to Port). Mears is a little less than that for MCO to WDW. Magical Express is free.

Hey DonaldGrl103, we are on the same land/sea package!

We booked thru Dreams, since it was our anniversary and our first cruise. We took the limo service that Dreams recommended. We had DCL transfers, but we wanted to be more flexible. This way the limo takes us right to our hotel, we arranged the time they are picking us up at the Polynesian, and then on the first they take us back to MCO. I am pretty sure that the town car service is FL Tours. I know that there is information on the DIS pages. It was a little cheaper than the DCL transfers and they take just out family. We have a very early flight from JFK on the 25th, and the last thing that I wanted was to be stuck on a bus while it made stops at other hotels.

Good luck, we'll be on vacation in no time.

yeah but for two people I heard it is not worth the price of a limo or towncar so I am hoping for other options. Thanks and have a fun time
