Best Shuttle Service?

[Zummi Gummi]

Anyone have any insight as to which of the off-site hotels offer the best free shuttle service? I've been researching this, and while many offer it, it's spotty to say the least. For instance, one has their final pickup at 9 PM, even though the Magic Kingdom is open until 11 PM.

I'm trying to find a decent one for November when I am there (because this trip came about rather quickly, and all the Disney resorts that I can afford were booked that weekend).

Thanks!

Tough question...your description of spotty is very accurate. I have never seen yet a rave review of any of these services at off site hotels...

I hope someone rains on my parade here!!!

any chance at all you could rent a car...it still is the very very best way to get to and from Disney.

I'll have my car there...I just don't fancy having to pay to park and fight the mob when the park closes at night.

I think that's what I'll be doing though...

We drive all the time, and with the exception of big event weekends, we've never really had too much trouble getting out of the park at closing time. I think if you just avoid the crowds, EMH, etc., you'll do ok driving. Have fun!

Hi...IMHO, you have not seen a mob at Disney until you have seen people lined up to get on the Disney shuttles or those heading out for hotels at at closing time!!!...

Traffic at Disney is incredibly well controlled when exiting the parks at closing...there is just one exit from each parking lot and because the trams can take just so many to the parking lots, the cars flow nicely out of the parks onto the big 4 lane roads in Disney. And since they have created so many new entrances/exits in the last 5 years traffic really moves well...

And the parking $$ is just part of the budget...but the time it will save is well worth it for quality of your vacation...


enjoy...Ted

if your hotel does it see if you can book a mears shuttle - they were most reasonable and efficient!
