How often do the buses to the MK run from S/D, and dingbat go straight to the turnstiles bypassing the TTC?

We usually drive, but I'm wondering if in this case the bus could be quicker.

Thanks! Checking in about this time next week.

Yes, you do bypass TTC and go straight to the MK.

^Thanks! I just noticed my phone's autocorrect error. Good thing the context was ok. Pretty funny.

Straight to the entrance! I used it 2 weeks ago on two mornings and I waited about 10 minutes for the bus to arrive and in both cases, the complete journey took about 15-20 minutes.

Buses to MK, or Animal Kingdom, run between every 5 minutes, during the rush times, and maybe 15 at the most during the slower parts of the day/night.

ETA, we've stayed in the Executive suite numerous times and love it.

I was just linking to the magazine's website, no article there. I doubt the article is on the Net. It is in issue 14.....

Well, I guess I'll just have to buy it then!


Edited to Add: That was easy! "Shipping Late November" - I hope it arrives before our December trip!

Not a paid advertisement (not even free, LOL), but that magazine is by far the very best Disney fan magazine available. I have subscribed since first issue. The content is superb, the folks running it are beyond reproach, best in the business. Here are some threads about it on this board.....

Our view has always been of the waterway and grounds between 2 of the towers. Unfortunately, there are no theme park views from the Executive suites. The funny thing was we've been able to see Illuminations reflected in the windows opposite ours. It was very cool!

Hi, I have a question. As a surprise for my daughter and niece I have booked 2 nights at the CR on the Atrium level. Will the Dolphin still transfer luggage to the Disney resorts? Thank-you!

 

[blondietink]

Yes, they will transfer luggage. We stayed at the Swan in August and they transferred to CBR with no problem and no charge. We just had to have our luggage at bell services by a certain time of day, so be sure to ask. They told us when we dropped the luggage off what time the bags would get to CBR.
