Can you ride Magic Exp twice?

[hthrbells]

Hey Disers,
We are going to take the ME when we arrive in WDW.
My brother and sister will be arriving a few days later. I was planning to find a way to the airport but can I come back with them on ME? They are both minors and I am meeting one of my parents at the airport to get them? Also any suggestions on how to get to the airport?
Thanks

Normally no.

But there is at least one recorded (on The DIS) instance of someone having to go back to the airport to resolve a baggage problem and used ME.

If you are already waiting at the resort, cell phone in hand, as the kids get off the plane and are escorted to the ME welcoming area by your parents, also with cell phone in hand, maybe some exception can be worked out. For example your parents might be able to check the kids in to ME and get them on the bus and you wait for the bus to arrive at the resort. If the kids are near-adults, they should try to check themselves in with your parents just watching at first.

It would be easiest if they kids use the yellow tags and the automatic luggage delivery service, less stuff to schlep around.

Thanks for the reply, my parents would never go for that I tried. I am on hold with WDW now so hopefuly they have seen this before.
I went to Camp Marlin as a kid, in Nassua. Loved there!!!

Nashua, sorry for the spelling error.

Considering the circumstances, I am almost certain that you will be OK taking it multimple times. The bus is heading there anyway, and I am sure they'll squeeze you in. Just explain the situation and make the reservation (so they know you're coming). I'd say reserve DME on all legs of the itinerary.

Good luck!

Thanks, I hope so.

I have used it once for part of my party to get to the hotel and then another person from our party came down five days later, and no problems.

A voucher gets scanned when you board the bus (MCO to WDW) and normally get collected (WDW to MCO). Disney pays Mears for every passenger that's transported. A driver isn't going to squeeze you in, you'll need a DME voucher.

Disney may not be willing to pay for a second DME trip. You can call but the solution might include paying Mears for a voucher. I don't think you'll have a problem riding the DME bus but you may have a problem riding it for free.

You might as well either ask (and probably pay) for an extra round trip DME or just rent a car for the day and drive the rest of your family back to WDW.

I do not think I feel like going threw the hastle of renting a car. Thank you for the info. Its a toss up between the car servce and the ME. I think my brother and sister would get a kick out of the bus.
