WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED. They're lucky they're getting one star. This place is a JOKE. I called a week before I was going to Disney with my boyfriend for the day on 3/20. Pick up from Cocoa at 8:50am and then the pick up from Disney at 8:30pm. I asked the rate, $88, when I asked round trip I was told yes. Meaning 88 TOTAL, not for each way.
The shuttle came around 9 that morning, we were stuck waiting in the shuttle for an hour and a half while the driver dropped people off. Fine. The driver finally gets us to Disney at 10:30, BUT had no idea where to drop us off. So a half hour later he finally finds the drop off point. Very nice driver but had no idea where he was going. When we got out of the shuttle I was told the rate was $212. Very different from the $88 round trip I was told the week before, AND they added on tip for me. How convenient. My boyfriend pays on his card, different from the one they had on file.
We pay the price because at this point we just want to get to the park. All day is fine, around 8 I leave the park with my boyfriend, it's raining. We get to the pick up point at 8:25 we get a call from the dispatcher. They're delayed an HOUR and there's absolutely nothing they can do. So we have to just sit and wait in the rain for our shuttle. When I asked the dispatcher for a reason we were notified so late she had to reason for me. Very professional.
9:30 comes and goes, no shuttle. I call the dispatcher at the office and no answer. They're apparently closed even though the answering machine says the office closes at 10. Suspicious. I call and call and call leaving message after message for an explanation. Nothing. Now I've been waiting for over an hour in the rain for a shuttle that isn't responding to my calls. We don't have the number for the driver and the office isn't answering. At 9:50 we finally get a call from our shuttle driver, he's finally on his way. By this time I thought I was forgotten and went to get a hotel room. As it turns out our driver was doing pick ups in South Cocoa and wasn't told to get us until 9:15 it's well over an hour from Cocoa to Orlando so there's NO WAY they would have got us at 9:30. He's in Orlando and tells us he hasn't been to Disney in 5 years and honestly doesn't know where he's going. At least he was honest. But, we had already gotten a room.
The next day a new driver picks us up and now we want a refund for the unprofessional and unacceptable service we received. The same dispatcher from the night before answers, tells me her manager Dan is at lunch and will call me when he's in. This is at 2:30. 4:30 comes with no call. Long lunch, I call and she immediately tells me we're only being refunded one way. I say absolutely not. I eventually speak to Dan who appears completely oblivious to what had happened. Obviously his dispatcher didn't fill him in. I tell him everything and I eventually am told our refund will be full.
Over a week later, still no refund. I happen to be checking my statement and see that the refund was put back on THE WRONG CARD. How this was messed up I have no idea. Dan didn't even put it back on the card that was charged. How this mistake was made I have no idea. But when I called to ask he basically says, "you have your money, I don't care." How this business is still running is beyond me. It is a disaster and NO ONE should EVER use this shuttle. read more
