Magical Express and SW?

[kelsco99]

Is Southwest an accepted airline for using Disney's Magical Express?

I would do a search to find this normally but the server errors are killing me :badpc: :badpc: :badpc:

Thanks!

I didn't think it mattered what airline you took. We took the Magical Express, but only one way from the resort to the airport, we were flying West Jet. They just dropped everyone off at there requested terminals. I am only guessing that pick ups would be similar?

Southwest is not one of the participating airlines with Disney. But this doesn't mean that you can't use Magical Express. It just means that you can not check your luggage in at the resort for the flight home. You have to take it to the airport with the Magical Express bus. If your airline is participating, then you can just do airport check in at the resort before you leave.

We have used ME twice and it works great.

It's just like Goofy's apprentice said. :thumbsup2 Being a participating airline only affects you on the trip home. You take your own luggage to the airport. But as an FYI, apparently SW is in talks to be a participating airline. Not that it makes a HUGE difference in the ME experience, but it is something to keep an eye out for.

Thanks for the replies everyone - I feel so much better about the flight I booked last night.

My RT flight cost $155.60 :thumbsup2 It's probably not the best price but it certainly isn't the worst and it beats the astronomical prices flying out of Toronto!
