I have a good question: Where is our favorite Buzz?

My hubby and I have saved up over 200 in disney dollars. I know that the Pepper Market isn't owned by disney officially so will they take disney dollars as a form of payment for our food purchases?

Thanks for whomever helps me out on the one>>

10 sleeps for us first timers.
I've got so much work to do before we go that hopefully it will make the days fly by..

You can always charge it to your room and pay the front desk with Disney dollars.

Many DIS'ers going between now and the end of the year. I hope all of you have a great trip!!

WDW4ever · Nov 18, 2007

Thanks for the well wishes Buzz! I'm looking forward to CSR so much, mostly because of all the great info you provide

I have a logistics question. We need to pick up a rental car at the Dolphin by 9:30am Saturday morning. We're driving to Tampa to see friends. I was thinking of ordering a taxi to take us there but I was wondering if we couldn't save a little money and do something like take the bus to Epcot and then a boat to the Dolphin. It's been a number of years since we've last gone, but I think that might work out. And we don't have to go into Epcot so we're not using a park hopper pass for the day.

Any thoughts? Should I budget an hour+ to get there going this way? Or is a taxi not that expensive from CSR?

Praise2Him · Nov 18, 2007

You won't be able to get there from Epcot without going through the park, so you'd have to use a ticket to get in.

But, you could take the bus to MGM and either walk or ride the boat from there without entering the park.

Yes, I'd probably allow about an hour, just to be safe. That's if you had to wait 20 minutes for the bus at CSR, then ride to MGM, then wait for the boat to the Dolphin. It probably wouldn't take that long, but you never know!

I'm not sure about the taxi cost from CSR, but I have taken a taxi from POP to the GF and it was about $18.

Hope this helps!

WDW4ever · Nov 18, 2007

Thank you! That sounds good. $18 doesn't seem too bad either. I was thinking it'd be more.

On two occasions, it only cost me $5.50 from the Yacht Club to CSR plus a few dollars for a tip. The Dolphin is just down the road from CSR so it may be less. CSR always has taxi's out front.

Otherwise I would go with what Praise2him suggested.
