Resorts with transportation to Disney parks

As far as I know, all of the resorts listed above do charge a "per person" fee for the shuttles to the parks. Sheraton Vistana used to offer the shuttle use for free to renters but exchangers paid the fee. Don't know if that's still the case or not.

Wyndham Bonnet Creek's fee is about the same as other offsites but their shuttle schedule is much more frequent than most offsites, about every 30 minutes in the mornings and evenings, every 1-2 hours in the afternoons - and last pick-up times at the parks in the evenings are after nighttime fireworks. Also, their shuttle buses do not stop at any other timeshare resorts, traveling directly to/from the parks (or TTC).

Most offsite resort shuttles are only offered with 1-4 pick-up times in the mornings and evenings. Many use area shuttle services with multiple resorts and hotels on a shared route, so the ride is long and slower. Sometimes, the last return time at the end of the evening departs from the park before the nighttime fireworks. This kind of shuttle service is very limiting and forces you to lose valuable park time. Returning to your resort midday is not an option either.

Before you confirm an exchange offsite, when you know you will be dependent on a shuttle service, call the resort directly. Ask the cost, pick-up/return times, how many hotel/resort stops before going to the parks, and the time of the last pick-up of the evening. Some people just pay for taxicab service instead, especially if staying very nearby in Lake Buena Vista or the closest part of Kissimmee. For a family or small group sharing the cab fare, this can cost only a little more than using the scheduled shuttles.

Certainly, the most convenient place to timeshare when you'll need shuttles is at a DVC resort. But these are options when DVC is not. Hope that helps!
