njb3636 Posted February 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 2, 2016 We will be on the Disney Wonder April 13-17 out of Miami and were wondering if it's better to use the Disney shuttle to/from the airport or grab a cab. Our concern is that we have a 4-year-old daughter and we aren't sure if a cab will take us. Also, how does the Disney Shuttle work on debarkation day? Any advice would be appreciated.

moki'smommy Posted February 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Not sure what you mean by "how does the shuttle work." You go to the terminal and pick up your luggage (if you put it out the night before), go thru Customs, and proceed to the CM who is directing people to transportation. Tell her that you have transfers to the airport and take your luggage to the indicated bus slot. As far as I know, they ONLY serve MIA. If you fly in/out of FLL, you are on your own. The only problem with DCL transfers is that you will wait for the bus to fill up before they depart. This is typically a wait of less than 20 minutes, sometimes almost no wait at all. Why would a taxi not take a child? Is this a car seat issue? Or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 2, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Of course a cab will take you. You can have a desk clerk request a cab with a car seat, if you aren't bringing your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njb3636 Posted February 2, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Sorry........yes car seat is the issue. And as far as the shuttle, I was just curious if there is an assigned time for the shuttle on debarkation day or just a constant flow of shuttles waiting when you leave the ship. Thanks for the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the replies. No assigned transportation times. Eat breakfast at your scheduled time (or on pool deck if you don't like your assigned time) and then disembark no later than 9:00. Sorry, I can't address the car seat issue. A quick google search might reveal whether they are required on commercial vehicles (they are not on the DCL transfer buses), or if they can be arranged in advance. Most limo/towncar companies will happily provide them, but some do charge extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted February 3, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I would ask about the car seat issue on the Florida Departures Board. Locals should know. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JupiterTwo Posted February 8, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I just cruised on RCI's Majesty of the Seas out of Miami, and took a taxi from the airport and back. A taxi to/from MIA and the Port of Miami is a fixed price of $27. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And any driver who tries to tell you otherwise should be reported. This info can be verified on the Miami-Dade government web site for those who don't want to trust a forum site.
