Is Dolphin included in ME transportation?

[luvdzny]

This is probably a dumb question but the search feature is not working. Are the Swan & Dolphin included in Magical Express transportation? We have never stayed at either. DD & I are planning a "girls only" long weekend and may stay at one of them. Thanks!

The Swan and Dolphin are not served by Magical Express. Sorry.

Disney's complimentary Magical Express transportation and luggage service doesn't include the WDW Swan and Dolphin. Shades of Green and the non-Disney hotels at Downtown Disney (such as the Wyndham Palace and the Hilton) are also not part of Magical Express, even though they're on-site.

However, you may see Magical Express motorcoaches stopping at the WDW Swan and Dolphin. That's because Magical Express motorcoaches serve Disney Cruise Line (DCL) land-and-sea guests, and DCL uses the WDW Swan and Dolphin as one of their land-and-sea resorts.

No the Magical Express doesn't go there, but don't let that stop you from going to the S/D. I just stayed there in june and took a limo to the hotel, it was great. While the Magical Express is a very nice feature, you still have to get on a bus, wait and wonder when your stop is, then wonder when your luggage will show up because it's anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours behind your arrival at your resort. I just really liked the idea that our driver was right there at the escalator by where you pick up your luggage, he got his car and we were gone. They were also at the resort for our return trip with no problems either. And with the extra money i saved by staying at the S/D the cost of the limo was no problem

goofy28 - I know what you mean about the towncar service, we always have a towncar pick us up even and it is great. I was looking to make this a budget trip, but I planned to do the same when I went in May with my mom and I ended up booking a towncar anyway! I guess I will start getting some quotes from different resorts and decide what to do. Thanks for the replies!
