"Hi John,

Brilliant website!

Can I ask a quick question as you seem to know more about Disney than people I speak to on WDW TOUR.

I’m going to stay at Disney (Coronado Springs) on Nov 28 – Dec 6 and was going to do three tours (steam trains, keys to the kingdom and epcot segway).

Is there a way of getting to the start of these tours (ie Magic Kingdom & Epcot) for the early tours for people who don’t have there own transport? I’ve heard that you can start catching the Disney buses an hour before the park opens, but this is something the person I spoke to at Disney denied. Is there a way of (safely) walking?

Look forward to your response, keep up the great work!"

Buses start one hour before the parks open and end one hour after parks close. Check with guest services at your hotel for specific times.

Glad you are enjoying your membership!

"I was interested in buying annual passes for my family for Blizzard Beach. Do the passes last for 365 days from the date of sale or 12/31/09? Can I purchase annual passes at my local Disney Store in my Mall? Thanks for all your help."

The Annual Pass for Blizzard Beach is valid for 365 days from date of sale. Some Disney stores sell them. You will have to call the one near you. You can, of course, buy them at Disney World.
