? about stops at DVC on Magical Express

[antree]

We just booked Magical Express, we never used it before, so this is a first for us. My question is, "Is it always the same route?" So meaning does anyone know what stop BW would be, all ME would tell me is, that I will be either the 1st stop or the last stop which is stop number 4
Now I know it's free and 4 stops are not that bad, but when I am headed to Disney watch out nothing better be standing in my way
So can anyone help me are all the stops always the same?

Thanks

When we stayed at BCV, BW was the first stop. The same as some of the regular disney transportation buses. BW, S&D(2 different stops), YC, BC(including BCV).

It's going to vary - probably based on where guests are headed.

When we used ME this past December, we stopped at CBR before going to the BWV. Even though we stopped, I was at the BWV check in exactly 69 minutes after our plane touched down. Don't think I could have gotten there any sooner if I had rented a car or elected to book a towncar.

I think we were lucky - although I have read several reports on the T-Board) of guests reaching their resorts within an hour of touch down.

Yes, it does vary. I've used it 3 times going to BCV. Usually we've stopped at YC beforehand, and this last time, for the first time, we stopped at CBR first. So I guess it depends on where the people on your bus are going.

Get used to it. When you take the bus to MK or AK or DTD from BWV you will make 2 add'l stops (at the Swan and Dolphin) before getting to your destination.

I agree.

We took ME at the end of Nov. The BW was the second stop after the CBR. It was very quick. We found the counter at the airport, checked in to get on the bus and then boarded a bus immediately and left the airport. I would say that we were at the BW about an hour after landing.

For buses around the park the BW shared buses with Swan and Dolphin for most of the parks. When we went to AK, the bus was also for Beach & yacht clubs. (Maybe for DTD too.)

I used ME just once about a year ago, and the Boardwalk was the 2nd stop, after CBR. The bus was pretty empty, and I don't remember if we were the only ones left at that point.

Thanks everyone, Can you tell I am a little impatience.

How long did it take for you to get your luggage? Can we pick up our own luggage and take it to ME?

Just to repeat: DO NOT put those yellow ME tags on the bags. If those tags are on the bags will never get to the caurosel. They're taken right off the plane by ME. We found that out the hard way last year. It was worth repeating we were in line once with a huge family, i wouldn't say fighting but close, that wanted their bags while they were at the ME desk checking in.

We've been pretty lucky with ME. We've stayed at BWV, BCV, AK and OKW---each time we were the first stop. I think they don't determine the order of destination until everyone is on the bus. Even if we weren't the first stop it saves at least $100 for us--that is way cool. More for us to spend on vacation!

 

[antree]

How long after you get to the hotel does your luggage show up? I get in at
9:40am so what time would my luggage get there? Will it be there by the time we can get into the room?

 

[bobbiwoz]

We got into BWV for check in before 11AM about a month ago, on a Friday. The room wasn't ready, but it was by 2PM. From the time we got in the room and called, our luggage took about 15 minutes to get to us. We were very pleased...both with ME and the bell services at BWV.

To me the whole purpose of using ME is so I don't have to wait for luggage, You get off the plane ane head straight for Me. After you check in at resort you can take off for the day. When you get back at night your bags are waiting in your room. Just either wear or put in carry-on what you need for a day at the park. What could be easier.

 

[bpmorley]

I think the main reason Disney came up with ME was to keep everyone onsite.

I agree - now that ME is on side B we will definitely let Disney get the luggage as we fly SW and luggage goes to side A. Used it the last two trips and it certainly beat waiting for a rental car and then waiting to get out of the garage. We did rent a car for some days but did it at the Dolphin and the Grosvenor Resort which definitely beat the airport rental counters.

We usually get one at Disney Car Care Center. They pick you up and drop you off.
