Re: Still haven't decided what to do.

Well I will throw in my $0.02...

We are travelling to WDW Sept 17th to the 22nd. We use a car service at home here to the airport and back home again because lugging bags a 5-year old and ourselves from long term parking to the terminal of Phila Intl. is not my idea of a good start but that is just a luxury that I, as the big dog allow myself.

On arrival we have booked Quicksilver but only for arrival so it is only $65 and then we will use ME for the trip home. We are on the dining plan so I do not intend to make any stops but we are doing this to limit the amount of travel time to the parks. The last time we used ME we waited a while for the busses to board and then more time for everyone to get on-board and we made two other resort stops before arrival at WL. I would rather pay $65 extra and have less delay before arrival to the resort plus our bags will be with us and not two to three hours behind us.

No matter what happens you will have a great trip...enjoy!!!

Re: Still haven't decided what to do.

I have used ME a few times and have had zero problems with it. I would use that. If you need some grocery items Garden Grocer is great. They might be a little more expensive but i didnt think it was that much higher than what i pay here at home.

This is what my DBF wants to do, & basically I said "if you want to spend the money, hand over your card & I'll even do the booking!"

Re: Still haven't decided what to do.

It might be the easiest thing to do, and it will be a comfy ride.

That's exactly what I was going to suggest.

Re: Still haven't decided what to do.

We are using ME and I am packing a few snack from home. We have the DP so it is just a few snacks for DD. We have 3 suitcases and we really do not need all that room so I am putting stuff like fruit bars, cereal, pop tarts etc in one of the bags. If needed I will put them in tupperware to keep them from being squished.

If I started shopping then I would find I need a fridge and that would be an extra $10 a day. And I would buy more than we really need so this way is better, whatever else we need we can buy on site.
