Question about DME and checking in at SSR

[ilovediznee]

Hi All,
Not sure where to post this but I will be checking into SSR a day early and the rest of my family will be coming the following day. I will be at a conference so it works out well that I can fly into Orlando from Ft Lauderdale and take DME to the resort.

If my plane comes in at 5:55pm (and is on time), how long will it take for me to get from the Orlando airport to SSR? I've only taken it once and it was a long time ago and it was much earlier in the day.

Another question - can I get transportation inside SSR to my room if it is far away? Never stayed there so I wasn't sure what my options are.

Thanks - Diane

40 minutes to an hour depending on the number of stops at other resorts and the order of the stops.

You can have a Bellman drive you to your room.

If you're checking in with luggage, the bellmen will take you to your room on a cart or in a van. When getting around the resort during your stay, you can use the buses to get from one section to another.

If you're heading to the Carriage House or High Rock Springs (main) pool, take any theme park bus, and get off at the Springs stop. To get back to your room from the Springs, take the Downtown Disney bus.

Don't be intimidated by the size of the resort, though. Unless you have mobility issues and once you get to know your way aroud, any section of the resort is, at most, an easy 10-15 walk from the Carriage House. (In fact, the bus is probably the most time-consuming way to get around.)
