I too recommend one hour. If I have a 6 PM flight, I am on my way to MCO by 3. One hour travel, 2 hours before flight time. If early, I relax a bit.

We will be using a car service, I've seen several comments on who some of you go through. If anyone has suggestions or tips on this I greatly appreciate.
& it is a 6PM flight!

We use Tiffany Town Car. We have used them for our last 6 trips including this past July. We have never had any issues. They are promptly waiting at baggage claim and pick us up promptly at the designated time. It is a 2 hour pick-up prior to your flight time.

The town cars are very clean, the drivers professionally dressed and polite.

We used TIffany Town Car for the first time in July, and they were great. The drive to the airport from the Swan/Dolphin takes ~ 25 minutes, and we had plenty of time with a pick-up 2 hours prior to our flight. I would definitely allow more time if I were taking Mears.

thanks so much, i will be looking into Tiffany town cars! Being our first trip to dolphin & disney itself started a stressful booking process but since i found this forum it has helped EXTREMELY!!

Our first time staying at the Dolphin in November! In the past we've stayed at the Beach Club but couldn't justify the added expense (cha-ching) this trip but I don't think we'll be disappointed.

Great thread!

We are sitting here waiting for our Tiffany Town Car to take us back to the airport right now. We had a wonderful vacation. We have used Tiffany many times and are always pleased with them.

In reading your post, I had a flashback to August 4 when we, too, were sitting waiting for Tiffany to pick us up. Always a sad day - going home day.

I hope your stay was magical.

It was magical! Now we get to look forward to our Dolphin stay in October for F&W. I am a lucky girl!

Does anyone know if the Swan and Dolphin does anything for Halloween?

We've stayed at the Swan a number of times during Halloween season and will be there again this October. I've not seen anything Halloween at the S&D Resorts.

We have also used Tiffany Town Cars four times. On time, reliable, great drivers, clean car, great service.

Hi everyone. I will be staying at the Swan for the first time. Does anyone know what resorts share the Disney bus to the MK? How long will it take to get to MK by bus?

Thanks!

 

[Dan Murphy]

Welcome to the dis, hoglund.

Depending on the time of day and crowds, the Swan can be by itself, share with the Dolphin, or the Dolphin, Yacht and Beach and Boardwalk. Most common is just the Dolphin. I am generally at MK within 15 minutes of pickup.

During my stays (which were in Sept and Oct), the MK bus pickup route was Boardwalk, Swan, Dolphin. Took about 15-20 minutes to get to the MK.

I just booked with Tiffany Towncars and they were pleasant and efficient!

We are going the last week of Nov-first week of December. Does anyone know if the weather would usually allow pool time?

Thanks!

Excellent. Thanks for the info!

We were there 7/30-8/4. The bus route was Swan, Dolphin, BW, YC, BC. I can't remember the sequence for BW, YC, BC. I know that the Swan was first then Dolphin then the other 3 resorts.

We historically have our vacations that last week of July into early August. This is the first time the bus route included the other 3 all time we were there. I only remember Disney including BW on previous year's trips but that was not often.

Even with the other 3 resort stops, we were at MK in about 20 minutes.
