The Fountains Resort--shuttle??

[Giselle22]

I'm heading to Orlando in June with DH and our neighbors, and our neighbor's mom is kindly letting us use her timeshare for our hotel. DH just sent me a link to where we're staying--The Fountains, a Bluegreen resort. DH and neighbor will be at a conference during most of the day for the first couple days of our trip and neighbor's wife is content sitting by the pool, but I want to spend as much time in WDW as possible! Does anyone know if The Fountains offers a shuttle service to WDW, and whether or not it's free? Thanks!

Hi, I've stayed there - rented off ebay at a great price. However, I rented a car. If you join Alamo Insiders, you should be able to find a decent rate - best rates are usually about 3 weeks before your trip.

If you google the hotel, you should find a phone number for the front desk and you could ask them. I had a couple questions before my stay and this approach worked for me.

Here's a link to their webpage: http://www.bluegreenonline.com/explore/resortDetail.aspx?ResortID=14

Have a great trip!

I was just talking to our travel buddy today after she called them. They do have a (private, I think) shuttle service that comes by, but it is about $11 a person. If it is just you and/or just for a day or so, that could be worth it, but if you are several travelling back/forth to the parks, you'll maybe want to math out the cost of renting and parking (at $15 a day) vs the cost of the shuttle.

Thanks for the info!
$11? Boooo! My party will have a car, but I think the guys will be using it to get to their conference. And I'd really rather not drive myself anyway. I'll only be on my own for 2 days, I think, so I guess I'll just have to add $22 to the budget!
