Shuttle schedules of off-site hotels

[JackTwo]

Is there a thread that discusses the shuttle schedules of the non Walt Disney Resort hotels (including the various non-Disney hotels in the Downtown Disney area and just off site)?

If not, maybe people who have stayed at the non WDR resort hotels can post how often shuttles ran from their hotels to the various WDR parks...

dtd hotels are every 30 minutes - they share buses with the hotels on each side.

then buses share - AK and MK, Epcot and Studio

you really, really need a rental car if you are staying offsite.

There isn't such a thread because almost none of us would even consider staying off-property without a car.

I could almost imagine doing it at DTD, but even then, I'd prefer a car---you have to pay to get there anyway, and the round-trip transfers for a family of four are going to be at least $100+tips, so figure $120. At that point, the extra expense of a rental car is minor compared to the significant convenience it brings.

Looks like the consensus is to rent a car if staying off-site. The follow-up question is, if you stay off-site with a park hopper pass and rent a car, do you have to pay separate parking fees for each park you visit during the day? Or do you pay a parking fee only once when you enter Walt Disney World (that can be used at each of the parks you visit that day)? How much is parking at WDW anyway?

parking is $12 a DAY.

day means that - you can change parks often and not paid again - until the next day.
