Another Magical Express question

[jazzgirl]

We're trying to figure out our transportation for our trip. We really want a car, simply for the convenience of having it (and my DH really wants one). We'll have 4 adults and our son (almost 2). We would have to rent either a full size car or a mini van to fit us and all our stuff. And we would only need this full size car/minivan to/from the airport. The rest of the time we'd only need a compact/midsize.


My question is this, can we use Magical Express ONLY for transporting our luggage and then rent a car to save the money on a bigger car? Has anyone ever done this, or heard of anyone who has? We've never used ME so I'm not even really sure how the whole thing works anyway, but my DH wanted me to ask!

Thanks in advance!

officially, DME is not a luggage transfer service. one person needs to ride the bus.

that said, while DME has the means to track who has boarded a bus, there's been no confirmed reports that they haven't delivered luggage for those who don't ride.

it's your call, but DME would say no.

The FAQ's say that you can't use the luggage delivery feature of ME unless you ride DME but folks have reported that they have taken other transportation and the luggage still arrived at the resort.

I personally don't think I could take the chance Can you have some of your party rent the car while others take the bus - therefore ensuring that your luggage will be transported? Just an idea....

That was our other thought, 2 of us going on the ME and the rest in the car. I was just wondering about it though, thanks for the response!

Or you could always use DME for transport to the resort and then rent your car onsite at the Dolphin or Car Care Center near MK. They will pick you up at your hotel.

Yeah. Do that
