There is not much information on it, but I would guess a rough price estimate would be a little less than Swan and Dolphin.

edit:

They are not getting anything from Disney though, no transport, no theming, no bus stops at resorts.

Don't be so sure about bus stops yet.

Uhh... isn't that what they already have all along Hotel Plaza Boulevard?

 

[Thrawn]

I'm sure. Unless the hotel pays for them. They won't be put in by Disney though, Disney had to pay for the hotel's road, and they didn't like that one bit.

edit: the resort he is talking about is the Bonnet Creek resort.

YES thrawn that is the one i was talking about thanks. There is no way disney will let them bring the buses right to the front doors of the parks like the disney buses do. If you stay off disney and do not drive your car where do they drop you off.

I think "non-Disney" hotel busses drop off at the TTC at MK, and in a designated bus/taxi area at all of the other parks.

Did Disney really have to pay for their road? I thought they just had to give them access to their property through Disney property, but hadn't heard that they had to pay for actual road construction. I'm afraid I don't really know all of the details.

It wouldnpt surprise me that they paid for their roads because Disney property has the best roads in Orlando! Plus, it has street lights!! :animwink:

the entrance to the parking lot, where the cars pay to park.

lol, no, i'm kidding! :animwink: i think non-disney buses have to park in the parking lot with the regular cars. i think that's how it works...not sure, i've never had the experience of having to take a non-disney bus into a park before.

They park at the bus´s parking lot! I´ve been to Disney in a tour once and that´s where they left us and where they picked us up at night. :animwink:

Yuck, I don't think I could go to WDW without a good resort.
That's one of the reasons I like WDW, the awesome resorts.
I would never stay there, unless there was no other choice.

yeah, they drop you off in the bus area for non-disney busses. but each area resort has their own "line" of busses, with designed spots that take you back to your hotel. We stayed right outside disney once, and there was about 8 hotels on the same bus. but they gave us exact times the busses would be leaving, then gave us an exact number bus slot that they were to pick us up. not as convienent as the disney busses, but it worked well enough.

Hey Maria... What kind of experience??? hehe


The non-disney buses from Hotel Plaza have their own spots in the parking lots that are close to the rest of the WDW bus spots, while other tour buses have to park farther away... at least, that's how it was the last time I was there with those. I still miss the days of the magnetic flags.... (was that a circle or just EC?)

So I there is no real info on this hotel then.

MOM.... since WDW is incorporated as the ready creek improvment district, they are just like any other government when it comes to building roads and highways.

Disneys responsibility was from Buenavista Drive to the border of WDW.

NOTE: there is more details that I dont have the time to go into her. If you want to read them go to
