Has anyone taken the shuttle to the car care center? We are going to rent a car for a day from Alamo from the disney car care center. Disney website says to call the 800 number to schedule shuttle pickup. Just wondering if that's something I have to do now? (we go in june) or do you just call the day of and they come get you? Thanks!
 
They say to call 24 hours in advance. But I think they will still pick you up if you call early the day of. They have schedules - generally twice per hour for each hotel.

Thanks! I will call a couple days beforehand.
 
They need at least an hour. They'll pick up all over property, even Wide World of Sports, and at the TTC, etc. It's very useful.
 

I've used them several times. I usually make my reservation the day before, but once we weren't back to the resort and our pick up was 30 minutes away, and the bus line was long, so I called them and they picked me up at EPCOT instead. They are very accommodating!

:) We did the opposite...we were at a rundisney expo and wanted to leave. I didn't know about the hour's notice thing so I called them sort of expecting a quick pickup. They said that it would be an hour-ish. So I calculated the timing, and said 1.5 hours at SSR. Left WWofS in the rundisney bus, dropped off at the front of SSR, walked to our room, dropped our stuff and changed really quick, went back to the front, got some coffee, and then the shuttle was there. Perfect!
 
I used the shuttle in March for the first time. I was not aware of calling 24hrs in advance. I called the day of about 2 hours before I wanted to be picked up. It took nearly 20 minutes to get through on the phone in the resort lobby. When I finally got through to someone she offered us multiple pick up times within the following couple of hours. Funny, I selected a time and then she said to me "how many people are riding the shuttle?" I said two and she said she could have us picked up in 15 minutes if we were ready. OK, perfect, we went outside and the shuttle came along just a few minutes later with only 1 person on it. We got on and it went directly to the CCC. I thought there was only room for two more but the shuttle probably seated 10 and there were only 3 of us on it. :confused3

Anyway, I would consider booking at the CCC again BUT be sure to check the prices on the paperwork before signing and leaving with a car. They tried to over charge me by $30. I had a printed confirmation so they had to honour it. After the agent spoke with a manager she took the attitude that they were doing me some sort of favour. I also witnessed a lot of the upgrade hard sell to the other people ahead of me at the counter. That particular day the kiosk was out of order so everyone had to go to the counter. Perhaps the kiosk never works there...don't know.

Good to know - thanks!! I will print out my confirmation email that shows the price. Thanks!

I'm planning on taking the Magical Express and then renting from the CCC..and returning to Shades at end of trip.
Does anyone know if it's ok to use the kiosk before I leave the airport?

No you can't do the paperwork at one location when you are renting from another
