For our upcoming Grand Gathering I am very torn between taking ME and then two of us take a taxi to the nearest grocery store or rent a car service that has the complimentary grocery stop.
You can take the free DME and also get a grocery delivery. Garden Grocer and Gooding's both come highly recommended. This way, you don't have to pay for a taxi or a car service, PLUS you won't have to waste time shopping AND getting back and forth to/from the grocery store. DME and a grocery delivery is a win/win situation if I've ever seen one!
I will have a 3 year old and I am kind of anxious about her not having a car seat on ME. We will be staying at POFQ.
What do you think??
I like NewfieFan's response to you.
There's no such thing as a bus on WDW property that has seat belts. And since there are no seat belts, there's no way to secure a car seat.
If this makes you nervous and decide to take a car service to POFQ, then all you've done is give yourself a car ride to a resort where you can only get places by Disney Transport buses ... buses that have no seat belts! So as you can see, a car service ride to the resort is pretty useless if you are taking the car service specifically because you think it's unsafe to ride in a bus without a car seat ... know what I mean???
Overall, occupants in large buses are safer (less prone to injury) than occupants of smaller vehicles such as cars and vans and SUVs. It has to do with the mass and height of the bus. I'll skip the physics lesson.
If it helps at all, I can give a personal testimonial. I am a therapist, and most of my patients are trauma patients, survivors of severe motor vehicle accidents. My wife is a board-certified pediatrician.
In short, we both know how horribly wrong things can go in accidents. We both are all about safety for our kids. They were 5 and 2.5 for our first trip, and 6.5 and 4 for our second trip (we stayed at POFQ the second trip).
We had no hesitation putting our kids on DME buses and Disney Transport buses.
