As I planning a trip to go in the next 12 -18 months. Has anyone use this? How well did it work. would you use it again. The trip I am planning will be DPBF's first trip. So I want this to be a great trip. He is a big kid just like me. I also have to keep in mind money.

We used Magical Express on our last trip and it worked out great! Plan for it to take about 70 minutes from the time you touch down at the airport to the time you check in at the hotel.

The bus ride to the hotel was fun -- they played Disney shows & information pieces on the little mini-TV's above the seats. You can just sit back and relax.

It's a great start to a Disney vacation and it's FREE!! Better than paying for an airport shuttle. Gets you in the Disney mood.

I've read that some people had a problem with luggage taking a long time to get to the room -- but if you go straight from check-in to a meal or hit the parks for a little bit, you probably wouldn't even notice that.

We used it for the first time August and it was great, EXCEPT for a small problem with the TSA. We arrived at POP around 1:00 and mine and my DS's suitcase arrived around 3:00 - 3:30. DH's suitcase did not arrive until 4:30 the next afternoon. The reason for this was that the TSA pulled his suitcase for inspection and took the Magical Express tag off of it The only reason we knew this was the big orange TSA inpected sticker on it.

BAsed on this my only suggestion would be to make sure you have one change of clothes in you carryon.

Otherwise I found it to be very convenient

Me and my son used the Magical Espress service when It was new. I thought it was a great service. No messing with baggage claims, etc. The wait was not that long. I thought it would be longer since we went over Spring Break. It would have been faster to take a cab but I have no complaints. Only one suggestion. If you get there early in the day pack a carry on with essential items. Your baggage can take a while before it reaches the room. I do not know how since se hit the parks as soon as we got there and out luggage was in the room upon our return.

Yes, I used it in 2005 and I will use it again in 2008. What a great way to go I felt like a princess..no worries and no cares from the time I left it at the local airport and then breezed thru Orlando airport looking for the white glove..we felt like we were on a treasure hunt
