Disney's Magical Express- Dolphin

[KristenCarll]

Hi all, We are booking a last minute trip and we are looking at staying at the Dolphin instead of our original plan of Wyndham Bonnet Creek. Does anyone know if we book through Expedia to stay at the Dolphin, will we still be able to utilize the Magical Express? Thank you!!!!!!

Nope. No Swan/Dolphin service through ME, no matter how you book your hotel stay.

Uber/Lyft/taxi will be your best bet.

@KristenCarll as @FCDub mention ME is not an option when staying at S/D. Beyond those mentioned you also have several town car services as well as Mears transportaiton options.

You might want join us over on the Walt Disney World SWAN & DOLPHIN RESORTS Information & Questions thread lots of good info, Q&A reports from recent guests. At least one other person just booked Expedia too. Also make sure you download the Swan Dolphin App it will let you see hours of restaurants and other things to know.

Mears Shuttle is easy, convenient and reasonable cost.

I'm getting $99 for a one way from MCO to the Dolphin. What am I doing wrong? That's double the cost of an Uber.

Mears has suspended shared ride shuttle vans due to Covid. The price being quoted is probably to rent a whole van.

I think you priced the private car from Mears. I booked their shuttle. Was around $20 a person.

And that makes a difference!

Ohhh ok. That makes sense. I wondered why when I clicked on the Taxi option it was taking me to only sedan or van with prices starting at $99. Thanks for the responses!

Are there any recommendations for a grocery stop?

 

[Blanco]

Check your route. There should be some along or nearby.
Google Maps is great for trip planning.

If you're taking a tow car or a service where they offer to stop they will know the best one en route to go by, unless you have a specific one that you want to go to.
