We are taking our first cruise (7 night Western) in Feb. '08. This is a surprise for our 3 kids. We are staying in WDW for 4 nights prior to the cruise. DH and I are trying to decide whether we should take a DCL bus from WDW to the port or get a shuttle (Happy Limo maybe?). Is there just one time for pick-up at WDW for the DCL busses? We are staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas (we are DVC members). Would Animal Kingdom (park) be where we would be picked up by DCL? How do they get our luggage if we get picked up at the park? I have also read that they do pick up at Animal Kingdom Lodge. I am so confused! LOL! What time do you get to the port if you take a DCL bus?
I keep reading a lot about how nice it is to get to the port early. We thought it would be cool to ride in a DCL bus since, for years, we have talked about "someday maybe we will ride in one of those". However, I really think it would be fun to have some time to walk around at the port and have time to explore the ship before we set sail. I guess I am assuming that we could get there earlier if we get a shuttle rather than a DCL bus.
Also, if we do take a shuttle to the port can we still take a DCL bus after the cruise from the port to the airport?
Thanks for any info and any thoughts you may have to help us with our decision!
