    Booked another trip already, and holding a decent price room at ASM. Depending on prices and packages, may splurge on a more expensive room. We shall see!

    Is there anyone super excited about their upcoming trip?

    Very excited! This is our first year back at WDW, will be DS's (17mo old) first trip, and we can not wait to share our love of Disney with him! We are on property for 6 days, and doing all 4 parks. We have both set of grandparents there, and our best friends for a couple days as well. Since DW...

    Need help with Party of 9

    Uber, but like said that will take multiple vehices, and probably be costly. If you have time, here are the 2 options I see.... 1) Boat to DHS, bus to Contemporary 2) Bus to MK, and take the path. It is about a 10 minute walk if strolling. I would personally take option 2, as it would be the...

    best route from All star music to Wilderness lodge by bus?

    I would say MK, as I think the WL bus is still on a timed count sheet. Plus having a second option for boat as well.

    Are you living in the area you planned to? Do you wish you would've settled someplace else?

    Born, bred in Florida. Met my now wife while working for the mouse. When she turned 26, she lost her flight benefits through her dad, and wanted to move back to Houston TX to 1) be closer to family 2) in hopes I would get on with United. I refused for about 6 months, got burnt out with Disney...

    Buses are terrible

    I can say y'all aren't the only ones frustrated with the bus system. I still have a few friends left in Bus Ops, and they all despise the new system the company has put in the buses. Now with the lesser load, and with COVID precautions it irritates the drivers just as much. Best advice? Let the...

    TPA-WDW?

    It is a very easy drive, depending on the time the flight lands. I recommend mapping it out around the time your flight is scheduled to land at TPA. I drive from Lakeland (half way Mark to WDW) to TPA 4 days a week for work and it can either take me 47 minutes, or I have had it take 90. All...

These days are tough, leaving the wife and kid here, but thankful for a job, and my in-laws live just around the corner if DW needs any assistance.

    MCO Offsite Discounted Rental Cars

    I tried the off site cheaper car rental thing once...out of the 5 times we tried, 3 of the cars we rented from different companies had outstanding sun pass fees on them, and when I was driving from Melbourne to Disney, I wasn’t willing to pay those unpaid tolls on my sun pass account. These...

    DDC XXXIV: The Original Home Of The DISDads!!!

    Welcome! I did the same before posting too, lots of looking and trying the right group that enjoys Disney as much as me. That’s one of the many reasons why I’m looking forward to moving back! Only about 1.5 months left before an hour drive from Lakeland to the parks! Anyway welcome again!!

    Florida folks...help me find my next home!

    You can look around the Melbourne area...south of Cape Canaveral. Lots of good places in Brevard County as well. Not sure what kind of shopping one would be looking for.

    Toll Roads - MCO to Disney

    Are you renting car from the airport or one of the off site rentals? I would go 528 West, as it is 1 toll, and I believe it is $2.50 each way...Don't hold me to that as I have a sunpass and it charges me $1.94, but i think it is $2.50. After the toll, it's straight to I4, and down to WDW.

    Last Hotel to Park bus?

    If your final destination is Boardwalk Resort, you can walk over to MK and take the Boardwalk Resort of course pending when MK closes that night. I would suggest you talk to a Security CM as you walk to Contemporary Resort and find out if you will be allowed to return to MK bus depots if it is...

    Art of Animation Transportation - bus travel times

    There are specific routes bus drivers follow, so times do vary. Best bet, about 15-20 minutes once on the bus.
