Transportation from Royal Pacific Resort to Downtown Disney

May I know that Royal Pacific Resort have any shuttle services to Downtown Disney? Because I need to transfer to Downtown Disney hotel after staying in RPR for 3 nights.

The hotels do not provide any shuttle service. Try checking out www.mearstransportation.com They have a shuttle service that is not very expensive.

You're going to be spoiled after staying at the RPR for 3 nights and getting FOTL. If you could, switch it around so you stay at the RPR last. But don't cancel any ressies until you have the new dates set up. If not, then oh well, you'll see what I mean when you go. Doesn't mean you'll have a bad trip, just that most prefer to stay at the onsite USF hotel last.

And I always tell people to rent the car. With trips to/from the airport, and between the resorts, it comes out about the same. Plus you can visit grocery stores, off site restaurants and SWF.

Since we both don't know driving, we have to book shuttle bus or town cars. I found that in this discussion forums, many recommend FL tours and Tiffany Transportation. Which one is better?
I fould it have free grocery stop for the route from airport to Resort, would it also have grocery stop for transfering between resort?

I've used Tiffany Transportation the last 2 times I've been to Disney and everything worked out well. The driver was dependable and friendly. At the Mousesavers website they used to recommend Tiffany and provided a $10 off coupon, although I notice that they now recommend another transportation company - Happy Limo. They again have a $10 off coupon at their site and Happy Limo also stops at a grocery store for 15 mins!
Good Luck!

I'm sure the limo driver will stop at Publix if you ask, it's only a few minutes from the RPR. Of coarse, I'd tip the driver well if they do it.
It's a very good idea to stock up on groceries before checking into your hotel. The RPR doesn't have refridgerators, unless you ask, so buy a styrophome cooler in the beer isle, and put your drinks in it. Take it to Disney with you, and restock it. Then when you check out, leave the cooler next to an ice machine.
Yes, carrying your groceries to your room may take two trips, and the supplies will be heavy, but once you get them into the room, you'll be happy.
