Using a different TA for resort and cruise

[mrsgthatsme]

We initially booked our cruise through Costco. A week later, we decided to add a park day prior to the cruise and two nights at a WDW resort. We booked this with a Disney Exclusive TA due to the fact that they were offering a great rate we couldn't get through Costco. Will the fact that we have two TA's managing the two "parts" of our trip be an issue in any way? The only main concern I had was the Disney transportation from resort to port. Which TA would book this for us? The TA we used for our resort or the cruise? Will we get luggage tags from one for when we are at the resort and another set from Costco, who booked the cruise? Normally, I would prefer to have one TA book both the cruise and resort, but the discounts available with each were too significant to pass up. Thanks!

You will book your own transports between port And hotel when you check in. Neither TA will be involved.

Even if we are using the Disney busses? I thought this was booked prior to the trip?

Wouldn't you book your transfers through the TA that booked your cruise?

For resort to port you will use Costco. Those busses are part of DCL not WDW and are not part of Magical Express, they are DCL transfers only. You may be able to do it yourself on the DCL website, we've never used a TA so I don't know how much you can access when you do. If you go onto your reservation there is a place to add Ground Transportation, try clicking on that and see if you can add it yourself.

Book your cruise transfers through Costco. That is, if you are using DCL Transfers ($35 per person each way or $70 round trip). If you want private transportation to/from the port, you can book that yourself -- car rental, limo, etc.

Your TA for the resort portion of your vacation doesn't need to be involved at all. You will still be able to use the free ME service between MCO and WDW. You can make sure your resort TA has that booked for you, or contact ME directly.

Enjoy your land & sea vacation!
