Just clarifying, you chose 8-9 PM for departure, correct?
You tell them your flight times and they figure it out from there and send you the pickup time. Couple of weeks ago it was great. Maybe a little sooner than we wanted to leave, but glad we did, airline lines were ridiculous. it was almost 3 hours before flight. 8:45 flight, 5:35 pickup with one stop after us.That's why I decided to book one way with each, plus thought it would be kind of fun!
We're going to go to the resort on Sunshine, and return with Mears.
Chose Mears for our return since when booking Mears determines the time you'll be picked up, whereas Sunshine the way I was reading it you had to decide the hour timeframe yourself. Not knowing how many resorts they're stopping at and what end of the hour you're being picked up at, I found it hard to choose. I figured it might mean either waiting at MCO for four hours or cutting it really close.
Unless I'm misunderstanding it??
We are at the airport now. Wanted to say how pleased we were with Sunshine Flyer. Drop off coming from the airport was very easy and did not take long. Driver was great. We had 4 resorts to go to, but we were dropped off first.
It should be added now. I e-mailed them early last week and they were planning to start allowing bookings this past Thursday for travel beginning this Monday (6/27).
Thank you for the information. It made my daughter's day. She so much wanted to try their service out on our last trip in March but it didn't go to Swan/Dolphin, but now that it does we may give it a try.
weird. do they cover Boardwalk Inn? if it does, why not cover swam/dolphin
They've covered Disney's Boardwalk Resort (includes the Inn and Villas) since they started running. But S/D aren't Disney resorts, and they didn't include them at first.
How long after your boarded the bus you reached your resort ? How many stops?
On the Sunshine Flyer website, it says the wait time for a bus is no longer than 20 minutes, and the ride takes no longer than 65 minutes. How are you totalling 2 hours? When she gave the 90-minute total, she was including the initial waiting time. It seems as if she basically hit the maximums, and while it doesn't sound like a perfect experience, it didn't seem terrible, either.
She said she was inside the bus for 90 min. Wait for the bus 24 min. Total 2 hours
We were the first resort to get dropped off and the last resort to get picked up. The bus was literally half empty picking us up and taking us back. I would say we landed in the airport around 10:00am and we were eating in the food court at POFQ already at 11:20am ish.
Not the OP, but I watched the review as I found it pretty concerning. Although this vlogger was very patient and kind about it, she was also very clear that they waited 24 mins. in the unorganized ourside heat and then were on the bus for another 90 mins. This review is giving us serious pause on trying the service.
