Wondering if anyone has used the Bon voyage package at the Hampton Inn with round trip transportation from the airport to hotel, hotel to Port Canaveral (Fantasy) and Port Canaveral back to airport? There will be 7 of us and the DCL Magical Express is pretty expensive. The Hyatt & the Disney transportation would be very convenient and we will use it if it is a better choice. We will be flying in the day before the cruise. Any thought or ideas??

The price sure beats DCL transfers. We will stress that we are 6 adults and a child with LOTS of luggage. None of us have learned to pack lite:p We will be flying Southwest, so can't take advantage of luggage handling, etc. The reminder about tipping was not a problem, I have seen many questions about tipping on here. I know I'm repeating myself, but we really do appreciate all your help.

We will be sure to take care of the drivers. They do a great service just dealing with the luggage. Any idea what a round trip from WDW to pier, pier to MCO costs? I realize the price may go up by next year.

You all have been so helpful with your answers about getting from WDW to the pier. We will definitely book with a private company for the round trip. Thanks for suggesting companies. Love the awesome help!! I know where to turn for future answers. Thanks again and Happy Easter.

We will need transportation after the cruise back to the airport in Orlando. Ideas for that???

We did use a travel agency for the cruise, but they don't do WDW reservations. We will try our local agency for rooms. Thanks so much for your time and all the great help. All seven of us appreciate it. This is our dream trip and we want it to be a wonderful experience. I read all your posts, so if you have anymore great advice we would appreciate it!:):)

We all want to have our own privacy (all family members). We have spoken with WDW direct about reservations. Our stay won't be until April 2015. I forgot to ask about any specials or discounts. Would they have discounts out for that time frame yet? Our GS saw a show on AOA and has his heart on staying there. Not even sure what discounts to ask about. Can you tell I'm new at this reservation stuff? LOL.

WOW, what a great answer. I'm so glad I asked about transfers. You have answered everything I asked! We will definitely check into hiring something other than DCL transfers because $$ seemed really high. There are 6 adults and one child and we plan to stay at one of the value resorts for 7 nights prior to the cruise. Any advise on value resorts? AOA sounds like fun ever though we will have to get 3 rooms. Thanks again!!

Hi molki'smommy, love your advise. We are planning to go to WDW before our 7 night DCL cruise also and we will have to take the transfers to the pier. There will be 7 of us plus all the luggage, so renting a car doesn't seem like an option. Could you please explain how the WDW transfers work? You mentioned that we would be on their schedule. Any information you could share with us would be appreciated!! Any other transfer options??

We have booked 3rooms on the Fantasy, sailing April 18,2015. This will be our first time sailing with DCL. In reviewing roll calls for sailings prior to ours I've not seen many people signing up. We have had fun with meet and mingle on other cruises, my question is how important is the roll call on disney ships and how active is the participation?
