Hi
Any ideas how to get to the resort for the ranch??
For those of us who don’t drive
Thanks

Hi Thundercats HO! and welcome to the DIS!

I’m afraid there is really no way to get to and from the parks without your own transport. Had you set your heart on staying there?


Anonymous | August 23, 2009

Hi
Wouldn’t say had heart set on it, but as there may be 8 of us going it seemed the best option

Grrr been trying to work out a good deal all week and its doing my poor little brain in now!

Ah well - back to the drawing board

Hi Thundercats HO! and welcome to DLP DIS board
We are a friendly bunch here so please join in on any other thread or if you have a number of questions then just start a new thread for each

If you have not had a look yet, posting guidlines can be found and details regarding help on signatures

Since shuttle buses do not run to Ranch, apart from car then taxi would be the only alternative. Not very handy


Istas | August 23, 2009

Nice one Reid

The ranch always looks very appealing and the swimming pool looks superb.


Waldemar | August 23, 2009

Glad you like it

Don’t forget Santas Christmas Reindeers who live at the ranch

When we were there last yr my 15 yr old DD insisted on seeing them. They aren’t signposted or on a map!. Anyone know the french for Reindeer? We didn’t & found the only (or so it seemed!) non english speaking CM. We mentioned Pere Noel & mimed!!!!! reinderr antlers & he understood.

And yes we did see them!


Avice | August 23, 2009

The menu on the food guide is correct in saying that the buffett at The tavern isn’t a character meal. But both nights we ate there last June (2005) characters appeared and also CM/children entertainers.

Thundercats - have you thought about hiring a car whilst at DLP if flying it would make getting from the airport easier & would allow you to stay at the ranch.


Cais | August 23, 2009

Yes, kids will love this
