Order of collection/drops offs for the offsite hotels

[jillrobinson]

Does anyone know the order the shuttle buses go around the 4 offsite hotels Dream Castle, Kyriad, Magic Circus and Explorers?

Thanks

It always used to be Explorers first, then Dream Castle, then Magic Circus and then Kyriad except for peak times when the Explorers and Dream Castle would share a bus and the Magic Circus and Kyriad would share another.

Thankyou

Offsite looks like the best option for January and I can get really good prices for any of the offsite on Travel Republic, but how to choose which one

Would you use the pool? The Explorers pool is fun, for both little and big kids. If yes, then I'd go for the Explorers - we've stayed here lots of times and been very happy, it's always been clean and comfortable. If you're not interested in the pool then why not choose the Kyriad.

Got to say I like the look of the Dream Castle myself. The Magic Circus has never interested me, IMO it looks too dark and depressing.

I agree with Elaine.
Ive never stayed at Dream Castle but have at the other 3.

Explorers is good fun - the rooms are nice and the pool is good fun. The bar areas are nice here as well and you can sit and watch the pool and the children in the play area having fun. There is also a smaller quieter bar area. Although its not a disney hotel it had the feel of one if that makes sense.

Kyriad is lovely. The rooms are very light and airy (I think you'd like them Jill as I remember you didnt like SL as the rooms were dark wood). The public areas are smaller - bars etc but still nice.

Magic Circus doesnt do anything for me at all. Its just a hotel and could be anywhere. The bar area reminded me of sitting in an airport lounge or something - it was just a big open space that everyone walked through. I had no atmosphere or anything.

Thanks both, I was looking forward to our planned November stay at the Dream Castle.
We stayed 1 night at the Kyriad in 2010 and I was more than happy with it, in fact that's what persuaded me to start looking offsite for our next trip.

I was at the Kyriad from Thursday to yesterday. Coming from the parks the route was Explorers, Kyriad, Magic Circus, Dream Castle.

Saturday night coming back after park closing the bus was extremely full and they dropped off at Explorers and then Magic Circus apparently to clear out people.
