PassPorter Community Tip: A "Brit" Different Guidebook
PassPorter's Walt Disney World for British Holidaymakers is a "brit" different view of Walt Disney World for our UK friends by author/columnist Cheryl Pendry! This comprehensive, 260-page e-book covering every aspect of visiting Walt Disney World from the United Kingdom. It takes you through your entire visit, from the planning stages to working out the best way to get there and get around, with details about arriving in America, passports and immigration, duty-free allowances, driving in the States, and staying in touch while you're away!

Club Passholders get it now in the Reading Room. The e-book is also now on sale to the general public in the PassPorter Store.

When we went in Nov. 07 we used the magical express and it was wonderful. we did not have to worry about getting our luggage. we let them know we were there and then got on the bus. it takes about 30min from the airport to the resort. When at the resort you depart from the bus and sign in to the resort. they bring your luggage to your room. then on the day of departure we had an early flight so that may make a difference. we took our luggage down to the bus and left for the airport. I don't know if you have a later flight if the cm gets your luggage to the bus and loads it or not. I feel it is worth it.

How much does the car service cost? We have a chance to stay at the SOG and I know they don't the MEB.

Car Service costs about $50 each way, but also usually includes a grocery stop if you need one.

While at wal mart last summer I bougt a misty-mate. It is about the size of a 12oz coke can, you fill it with ice water and pump it up when hot turn the nozzle on and you get a superfine mist of ice water. I says on the package it lowers the air temp by fifteen degrees. It is more like 25 degrees and the good thing is it does not soak you like those misters you by in the parks and they hook onto your belt. You can also by the fan attachment if you want but you really do not need them. They cost about ten dollars. Well worth the money!!!

Hi I'm a costumer of the Shade Of Green, and you are right the MEB doesn't stop there but if you are not going to be going any were else and just around the WDW resort using their transport with-in the resort. You can just call a taxi or look for a taxi. Look for Mears Trasnportation or Yellow Cab (the color is orange) (407) 422-2222.
