No personal experience but the Swan and Dolphin busses are no longer Disney busses. I've heard that the service is pretty poor and it's faster to walk to Beach Club or Boardwalk to catch a Disney bus.

I know the boats were still stopping there a month ago, didn't realize buses got the axe. I think that tips the scales a bit in favor of a car

Thanks everyone for your feedback. #1 - I didn't think the Skyliner got to the Magic Kingdom? Agreed that it's great to Hollywood Studios though. #2 - Yea, the buses are no longer disney at Swan/Dolphin. So if you take them, it goes to Transportation and Ticket Hub for Magic Kingdom. Obviously Zero One is right though, we could just walk to Yacht club and take theirs. #3 - Our biggest concern is absolutely getting from airport to resort, and to some of the resorts (we have reservations at Sanaa and Kona Cafe). I don't think we'd consider the expense of a rental, but we are staying at the Swan on points, and our tickets were paid for by work as a bonus. Our overall expense so far is just airplane tickets.

I'm not certain but I think they have to use the non-Disney bus stops at the parks too. Edit: yeah... Confirmed above.

I really hope that's just a budget cut change that will revert back. That's going to seriously impact the value of the swan/dolphin resorts which is a shame because they are very nice.

I'd definitely consider the car in your case. We stayed at Boardwalk with a two-year-old and had a couple close calls between nap meltdowns and working transportation out. Staying off buses/monorails would also slightly decrease potential covid exposure a little. Plus it'll be easier to get off property to grab groceries (or, god forbid, get a meal off property). Also having a car is one more arrow in your quiver to get a toddler to go to sleep. Our then-two year old was pretty wired and just wanted to stay up all night, so doing laps around a parking lot probably would've been a godsend some of those nights.

They are probably devoting more busses to disney resorts and park hopping due to the reduced capacity of busses to maintain six feet on busses. So Swan and Dolphin losses out right now.

Stayed at Swan and Dolphin in September 2019. The busses were Disney busses but still terrible. Completely unreliable, they also started operating later in the day then other resorts so no rope dropping. At one point, we waited 40 minutes for a MK bus so we could get to a reservation at the California Grill. When we asked, they suggested we take an uber. This was consistent service over the three nights we were there. So I can't see how it would be much worse.

We spent the last 3 days at universal, it was her first time going, and I've gone a bunch of times. Things seemed to be as well handles as expected for covid times (including the team member with bullhorns reminding people who weren't masking up to do so), and the crowds were pretty bearable. The elevator part of the queue for gringotts was understandably not running, but the show at Ollivanders was a per group thing instead of a large party. They handed out sanitizer before every ride, and made sure you were social distancing in the lines. It was my first time on Hagrids, and it was pretty great all in all. Not being able to sit at any of the bars kinda sucked as did the full social distancing for all sit down dining, but I understand that. We'll probably go back after velocicoaster opens, and just avoid that area entirely.

Hagrid's is amazing. IOA already has a killer lineup of rides even without Velocicoaster. And yet there is so much unused space there. They need to re-open Poseidon's Fury or replace it. Def need to replace Sinbad. The Lost Continent is such a neat idea for a theme, I hope they do more there. Toon Lagoon has two good rides... but only if you want to get wet. And even then it feels all around dated. There is such a big stretch of nothing until you get to Super Hero Island. UO also has a lot of stuff lying fallow and rides that could be replaced tomorrow without one tear shed. Why are they building a third gate when the two existing gates have so much unused space?!?!

If they're.hitting each other in the station then they don't have enough/good enough liftees. It's not unusual to have to manually hold them back and stop them.

God dammit Zero One I was just coming here to post that. We're laughing at it in the Trumplol thread. This crosseyed fat gently caress is really a massive piece of poo poo: quote:My family and I have been loyal Disney customers for decades. We vacation at Disney World every year. We take a Disney cruise every year or two. Consequently, we spend way too much money in Orlando.

What's the deal with the resort hotels right now? I'm considering an early December trip and there isn't much availability. Is that because everything is actually booked or have they just not released more rooms for reservations that far out because of covid?

Not every resort is open. Plus I think people are like starved for Disney so the end of the year may be pretty filled up.
