Close to 50 trips to america and I have never been asked. Where am I staying, when am I going back is pretty standard for me.
Maybe you look a bit shifty ![]() ![]() ![]()

I’m not so sure it’s that Andy, you and I are both a similar age and I have never been asked how much money I have with me on any trips solo or otherwise anywhere entering the US. It certainly isn’t the Rolex or dripping with diamonds that stops them as I definitely dress for comfort when flying ( think scruff) rather than style

It’s no different to a European package, wait endlessly for the last few off the flight to get to the coach (or worse a second flight to arrive) and then stop at every other hotel before your own or jump in a cab.
The service you have paid for is a shared transfer , possibly indirect from MCO to your resort. Disney make no promises about the time it will take as it’s subject to lots of variables. I quite like the fact there are other options so if it’s not it’s customary short line I can choose to wait it out or choose an alternative. For an excessively long wait I’d be speaking to Guest Services for recompense though once in resort. |

I hear those Mears buses are really expensive. And they wouldn't just need one.
![]() BTW, what do people mean by "unacceptable"? Do they mean that they'd cancel their stay at the Disney hotel and book a hotel somewhere else? Make alternative arrangements to get to their Disney hotel (uber, taxi, hire car, whatever)? Or do they just mean that they'd find it annoying but still wait in line whilst maybe complaining sternly to a CM? I'd be in the latter category. But I wouldn't call it "unacceptable". Clearly, I would accept it, albeit begrudgingly. To me, it's very annoying but not unacceptable. Also, last time I visited, there were different queues for different resorts (or groups of resorts). If I remember correctly there were about a dozen different queues for the buses and we were directed to stand in the CBR one. So I assume this is just one queue? Or was there a 60+ minute wait for every queue and every resort? Considering this isn't normal - there aren't normally 60 minute waits for the DME (hence why it was mentioned on Facebook and why it's being discussed here now) - then I assume there was some major issue leading to the long wait. Was the weather incredibly bad that the buses couldn't leave the station for a while, resulting in the long queues maybe?

But then that sounds like it could be a problem with the CMs checking people in (perhaps the computer system had gone down?), not with the Magical Express buses themselves. I had originally assumed this was a 60 minute wait after the CMs had checked you in.
![]() BTW, I also have to pay for my flights to America (which includes airport taxes) and have sometimes stood in line for an hour at immigration. I still plan to visit the USA next year, so clearly I don't consider the annoying 60+ minutes wait in the immigration hall to be "unacceptable".

true, but you know the reality behind this ?
it's much more acceptable to rant about a vacation provider, than to give the same rant about CBP/DHS getting you through the same "ordeal" and charging you for that because disney will never stop you from entering the US or flag you for Secondary, if you're too vocal about it ![]() ![]() ![]() Edited at 05:28 PM. |
