Does Magical Express allow this?

[WeLuvWDWx5]

We are planning a trip early next month. My DH would need to fly into Orlando on Continental on a Tuesday, and would rent a car for several days for business meetings. My DS and I would fly in on Thursday, also on Continental, and would meet my DH at the airport. We don't want to keep the rental car, but would like to then all use Magical Express to get to the Boardwalk. We would all 3 be departing on the same day and flight the next week.

Will they allow my DH on the Magical Express bus, even though he would have flown into Orlando several days earlier?

Thanks for your help.

Is he staying at Boardwalk before your arrival or is your check-in the day you get there? If it's the day you get there, then just reserve DME for all 3 of you on that date on that flight. They don't check the actual flight to make sure you were all on it.

No, he won't be at the Boardwalk until my DS and I arrive on Thursday. Our reservation starts on Thursday, the day we arrive.

Thanks for the response. I didn't realize that they didn't actually check the flight information to make sure that everyone in your travel group is on the flight. I guess we can just indicate 3 of us on our reservation.

As long as your dh is on your resort reservation, and he is arriving on, or after, the start of that reservation, he is good to go.

Reinforcing goofy4tink's response: Each onsite Guest is entitled to one MCO-->Disney ride on or after the day their resort reservation starts, and one Disney-->MCO ride on or before the day their reservation ends.

It does NOT matter how you arrive at MCO. You can arrive by plane, you can arrive by rental car, you can arrive by walking downstairs from the Hyatt, you can arrive by personal vehicle, you can arrive by llama.

The ONLY requirement to use DME from MCO to your resort is that you have a Disney resort reservation, and a DME reservation.

The same goes for departure. It does not matter HOW you plan to leave MCO, you just need to be departing YOUR Disney resort and have a DME reservation.
