Nights before the cruise

[pgesler]

We are booked on a 7 night cruise on June 7, 2003. We would like to arrive a couple of nights prior to the cruise to relax near Disney World at an 'Official Hotel of the Walt Disney World Property '.
We will not buy any park passes in advance.

1) Will be able to use the Disney buses to go to the various parks/resorts even if we don't buy any park passes in advance?

2) Will we be able to use the DCL buses to go to the DCL dock? Where will we board the bus?l

Any suggestions on the best Hotel that will fit our needs?

Ok, these aren't too hard questions!

1) Yes, you will be able to use the buses/monorail, your resort stay guarantees the transportation.

2) DCL has separate transfers to take you to the port that you have to arrange with them. For the rest see below.

Now, as for the best hotel, you probably want to pick one that DCL directly picks up at. I would contact DCL first about transfers, they probably have a list. Off the top of my head, the stops the last time were:

• Wilderness Lodge
• Yacht & Beach Club
• Caribbean Beach

They also pickup at Animal Kingdom. There's probably more I can't think of on my own.
