I would like to compile a list of helpful information and links. If you have anything you would like to see on there, please let me know!

Thanks :)

I had been directed to the 'laughing place' website once, which has a wizard for determining travel time within WDW. I was then informed that it the information was outdated. If you know of another resource for that information? Or maybe a simple chart of approximate times could be developed?

The number one biggest question that pops up in the other board has to do with DME vs Resort Airline Check in. Many people think that these services are the same thing and they are not. Having a thread that explains what they are, what they mean and how they work might help with those questions.

I think the Transportation Wizard is still a really good resource.
There may be a few things out of date- can't really name one now! but overall it's a good starting point for routes and estimated times.
I'd include a link to it and a link to parks and resort area maps- I was going to put in Theme Parks sticky and still will but they are also sort of transpo related

Oh no! I love that site.

I spend a fair amount of time on the Transportation board in that other place. The decision over there really was to make a dedicated sticky called "how to get from point A to point B" and it's really just a running place for people to ask specific questions. I really also agree that the Wizard from OLP is not "recommendable" (like my made up word?) - but that's okay, we don't all have to agree. My opinion is that it only takes ONE mistake in that wizard to really get someone's vacation messed up. There may only be a few errors in it, but if you don't know any better, you're never going to know which ones they are.

So anyway, very popular question --
How do I get from [xyz resort] to [abc resort] for my dining reservation? Obviously the answer changes by situation, but you could at least include something saying there is no bus transportation directly from one resort to another, and that you have to transfer at a park or DTD.

Hey Josh, can you get on the phone with the laughing place people and tell them to get their transportation wizard fixed?
