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.

Question Pop to Grand Floridian?

We have reservations for Victoria and Albert's for one of our evenings to celebrate my best friends birthday and to FINALLY experience V & A!!!! What is the best way to get there from POP?
Of course we will be all dressed up-so not sure if we should drive the rental car or take Disney transportation? What do u all think? Thanks.

If you have a rental, I would take that. Otherwise pay the fee and take a cab so you don't have to worry about driving yourselves back!

I would drive to ensure the comfort for everybody. Being in all the nice cloths and wait for the bus for 30min and the enroute time will take the fun and excitement out of the mood. Plus it may be a better finish to the night.

I would take the rental. Just tell the gate person that you have an event at the GF, and he will give you a pass for your windshield. IF nothing has changed since the last time I went, that is fine and there is no charge. I would definitely not do Disney transportation because yu might end up with a very crowded bus if your meal ends after the park closes. If you finish early, just take the monorail into the parks and take some nice dressed-up pictures in front of the castle! Your car will be waiting for you when you take the monorail back to GF. Enjoy V and A. I am so jealous!

The quickest way is definitely by car. You'll get a 3-hour parking pass.

Car or cab. I'm not a fan of Disney transportation from resort to resort.
