Not sure where Sandy ridge is, have you thought of getting the driver to drop at any disney property and use their transportaion? We are on h27 and drop off at Animal Kingdom lodge for those going to Disney if we are going else where. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| Hi Thanks very much for your help. I have been on the lynx site and that has given us some ideas.
Alos how do we get to Animal Kingdom lodge ? As I said we are staying at Sandy Ridge, which is exit 58 on the I4 near to highway 532. We are quite close to The reunion resort and Champions Gate. Ellie | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| Hi Ellie,
To get to Animal Kingdom go up Old Lake Wilson to the top where it meets 192. Turn left at the lights then right at the next lights (sorry cant remember the road names) follow the road until you get to a t junction turn right and this should take you to Animal Kingdom. However, if you are thinking of using the Disney transport to then get to the other parks you might be disappointed because Disney have caught on to this and have been refusing to transport people if they are not staying at a disney resort. They are asking for ID and resort confirmation. Gill | http://www.onlinefloridavillas.com/Villas/1971.aspx | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

The road you turn onto is 'Sherbeth Road' - there is a large 'gift shop' on the corner (The Wizard or something like that!
The T-junction refered to is actually a cross roads - but straight ahead is entrance for Disney cast members only. If you go right and head for AK then to get to the buses you will need to pay the parking fee - unless the toll operator is in a good mood and accepts that you are just dropping somebody off. To go to AK LOdge (the hotel) you turn left - but if Gill is correct about the transportaion then this may not be an option.
Good luck

| | You can get dropped off at any of the Disney parks and then use the transportation, I think you just explain to the car park entrance person and they direct you to the drop off point. At worst you'd pay 1 parking fee. We've travelled around quite happily on the transportation, its so convenient and so long as you have hopper tickets you are entitled to use it. | Chris

I think the Wizards Hat got blown down on that Gift Shop, but as a fix there is a WIzard - top half_over the shops on the right side of that junction | Ian Dee
