Staying at the Hilton can ME be used

[crazy4claspooh]

Hello,
I have 2 upcoming trips to DW 1st on is on the 25th and we stay at the Hilton the night before we check into AKV. Can we take ME to the Hilton in Downtown Disney?

Then in Dec we have a trip same thing this time staying at VWL.

I hope so we get in late and wanted to get as much time in as possible.

Thanks for your help everyone is always so helpful.

No there is no ME to the Hilton. ME buses only go to the Disney owned resorts.

Thanks for your help. What about is it possible to rent from the airport and then return the car on disney property the next day? Just trying to exhaust all ways to keep cost down. The trip in Sept not so bad just 2 of us the one in Dec we will have the two of us plus our 4 kids. I travel for work and I can take advantage of hilton points.

Alamo and National can be returned at the Car Care Center (very near VWL). There's a free shuttle that will take you from the CCC to your resort or a park, after you return the car.

You can also return National (and I'm guessing Alamo, since the company is the same) at the Dolphin. Their hours are very short, but I believe people have posted they've dropped the car off at the Valet Parking desk. Then you can catch a bus to any park or walk/ferry to Epcot or MGM.

Hope you have fantastic trips! We love Kidani and VWL

Thanks for all the help we actually rented a car now for both trips. We have the trip there a compact car as it's only 2 of us. We plan to stop at publix and get bottled water and coffee. We pick it up from National at MCO and drop off at the Swan or Dolphin. $40.00 same price as the shuttle so now we can get the grocery trip in.

The trip in Dec we got a minivan same deal with National got a deal for $65. Much less than trying to get a shuttle and we can get the grocery trip in there too.

feeling better now that I have that all planned.

Also see what the rate is to Drop off at BV Palace sometimes it is cheaper last time for us it was $12 cheaper DH took me to Pop then took the car back to BVP it is right by the Bus stop at DTD. He was back at Pop right after I got done checking in.

If rent from Avis, Avis has a drop off/pick up location at your hotel (Hilton @ DTD).

Also, Budget has a location at the Doubletree and Dollar at the Regal Sun, both within easy walking distance of the Hilton.

Actually, if you do rent a car, keep it long enough that you can take your stuff to AKL. You won't be able to take advantage of DME unless you go back to MCO, which seems like a waste. In your case I'd probably rent from Alamo/National at MCO, then drop it at the Car Care Center after you check into AKV. From the Car Care Center, they'll drop you off in the Alamo van. My experience is they drop you at the Kennel Club (really!), which is right at the TTC, so you can pretty easily get back to AKV from there. They may even take you right to AKL, but I'm not sure about that.
