You guys have been so helpful, I was hoping to get some advice on my latest dilemma.
We want to stay at AKL for our 2018 trip, but I understand it's one of the more remote resorts with longer bus rides to most of the parks. I am terribly prone to motion sickness, particularly on buses, and have have varying results with Dramamine.
Just how bad are the bus rides? What makes me sick is the constant braking/accelerating that you get with frequent stop signs or bus stops. A longer bus ride with few stops is actually preferable to a shorter ride with many frequent stops.
I'm considering my options. We could try a split stay with another resort that is closer to some of the other parks (better bus rides?), or we could rent a car if the price is not crazy expensive.
I studied a map of resort locations, decided that both Port Orleans resorts looked promising (good price and location seemed central), yet later found a site with complaints of the long bus rides from that resort as well! Now I'm wondering if distance has nothing to do with it and the deciding factor is more how many resorts are shared among a common bus line.
Can anyone give me an idea of what bus travel is like (from AKL or others?) Would you recommend a car? We'd like to spend one day at each park and then one day at TL.
