Express to Dolphin?

[RobinJ]

Will the Magical express bus take me to The Dolphin and deliver my luggage there? I hope so because I am not planning to rent a car!

Nope, sorry. DME does not service the Swan, the Dolphin, Shades of Green, or any of the Hotel Boulevard resorts.

If you're not renting a car, you'll likely need to arrange either a Towncar, or a Mears Shuttle. However, if you book a Mears transfer, you may end up on a DME bus anyway.

There is no free Magical Express to the Swan or Dolphin, because they are not Disney-owned resorts. You can take a Mears shuttle there for about $32 roundtrip.

Do you have to reserve the Mears shuttle in advance?

No

Thanks! Believe it or not, I just found out the other day that the Dolphin and the Swan were not owned by Disney! Geesh... so I guess the only disadvantage so far is we can't do the Magical Express bus. Live and learn...

When you arrive at MCO, just head down to baggage claim and get your luggage, take it with you to level 1, ground transportation. You can go up to the Mears counter and book your ride then. You can't do it in advance anymore. You may even get put on a DME bus...I know that we've taken the DME bus to BW before and the bus actually stopped at the Swan to drop someone off....they remarked as they got off the bus...'Wow, that was great, and you guys get it free!'

Yeah, but you get MUCH nicer beds then you would at a Disney owned resort so at least you will sleep well!
