Car Seats in Magical Express

[woodlandsparty]

When we used Disney airport transfers back in 2005, it was just a regular cab that was dispatched. Is magical express something different??? Basically, I'm worried about car seats. I have 3 kids 4 and under, and the regular cabs usually only have one car seat available. What do you guys do that have more than one young child??

ME are buses. I haven't ever seen a car seat.

They don't have car seats on the buses.

"If you are carrying a child safety/car seat, it will be stowed beneath the bus – they are not allowed on the bus."

I don't believe that there are seatbelts on the bus to fasten the seats with.

Disney's Magical Express (DME) is a motorcoach ride. The buses are plushly upholstered. As on any such bus, there are no seat belts. Without seat belts, car seats cannot be fastened. Therefore, car seats are not permitted on DME buses (but if you used them on the airplane they can be stowed under the bus).

Buses are very different than cars, and car seats are not as necessary. Also, keep in mind that the same holds true for the Disney Transport buses, the buses you take from your resort to the theme parks. Unless you're staying at a monorail resort and are going to tour only Mk and Epcot, you will be taking your kids on Disney Transport buses.

If you don't feel comfortable with this, then your only real option (other than hiring a driver for the week) is to rent a car and use your car seats that way.

It's a bus. Car seats have to be stowed under the bus.

For the record, all of the other busses to and from the parks don't allow car seats, either.

I have three boys DS9, DS22 mos & DS 9 mos. That being said, we are using the magical express and did as well on our last trip. We also only used Disney Buses, the monorail and boats for all of our transportation once we got there and had no problems, just held the kids. Good Luck!
