Just wanted some opinions. I have only used ME once and that was back when they had the luggage service. I have a solo trip coming up the end of August. I have very limited on time, actual reason for the trip is training for work, but I was able to add on 2 days to atleast have some fun.
God-willing, arrival is scheduled for 920am on a Monday, staying at CSR. Do I try and take ME or since I want every second of my free time to be spent inside one of the parks, should I think about Uber? Praying I can pack strategically and only have a carry on so I do not have to wait for my luggage, just keep on walking out of the airport.
What happens if I sign up and reserve ME but end up taking a ride share? Could I still use ME back to the airport on departure day? Tuesday is my only full day before meetings and I want to make Monday as full as possible too. Forget about sleep, that’s what the meeting are for. Haha
Thinking even if I do not have to wait long for a bus, it would still stop at other resorts so I’m leaning towards a ride share but don’t want to mess up and not be able to take Me back to the airport. Or should I ride share both ways??
I would Uber both ways. Being solo and every minute counting that seems like the best choice to me
If you don’t mind spending the money, I’d suggest Uber. You might get lucky with DME, or you might have to wait for a bus, have to wait for a long time after boarding the bus, or be the last drop-off spot. We arrived on Monday night at 1 AM after a frustrating two-hour delay with SW only to board a bus immediately and sit for an hour before leaving. And despite being the first on the bus, we were the last to be dropped off (out of 4 resorts). I’ve also had good experiences with DME, but when time is of the essence on a short trip, I recommend spending more to avoid the stress of a bad DME experience.
You can still use DME for the return trip even if you don’t use it from the airport.
Thank you. I think I have my mind made up about arriving, just want to be sure I do not mess anything up for the way back to the airport. I know I will be so anxious and annoyed waiting and dropping off at the other resorts, want to start the trip off on a good note!
You can absolutely bail on DME on the way in and still take it on the way out. I have bailed on DME more often than I’ve taken it but that Tragical Express notice still shows up every time.
I have my mind set on definitely using uber on arrival day. On departure day, it will depend on what time pick up is, my flight is at 920am so I think they usually have you picked up 3 plus hours ahead and if that’s the case, I might uber back too. Thank you!
Back when they did luggage, I signed up for ME but did a ride share to get to the park for MNSSHP. When we got to the hotel, luggage was waiting so they don’t hold you accountable for missing a leg of the trip.
