Magic Express Packet

[Shoppingstaceysmom]

Last year when we received our Magical Express Packet before our trip along with the yellow luggage tags there was a voucher for a transportation (bus) pin. Is there anything included this year?

I have been three times this year and I don't recall seeing the voucher any more. I think they have discountinued it. My kids always loved getting their free pin. My son "protects" his collection of bus pins.

There are some 2007 package inclusions, but nothing for ME that I'm aware of.

No pin voucher.

How far in advance of our flight should we expect this packet?
Thanks!

It seems they come around the time of final payment or about 45 days out. But, I have had some that didn't come until a couple weeks prior to leaving.

No pin voucher.

Dang it!

Question? we usually drive but got great Southwest airfare and we are flying/using Magical Express. Do they give you a time to be ready to be picked up and go back to the airport on the day your flight leaves? Not sure how that part works. Any input would be great!

We usually make full payment when we book our trip and our ME packet comes about 2 weeks before we leave.

Yes. The day before you leave, there will be a packet on your door handle or under your door, with your DME departure time.

Thank You.

the DME packet is mailed out about 6 weeks prior to check-in
the package packet (if you booked a package) is mailed out about 5 weeks prior to check-in

if you booked through a TA, it goes to them instead on your behalf. AAA is known for keeping everything up until 2-3 weeks prior to check-in.

it has more to do with the 45 days than when you pay it off (so you can't get the package materials and then cancel without penalty).

I have a DVC reservation beginning August 11th and our ME packet came in the mail last week. Now I know our trip will be here before we know it!! No pin either.

Here's a good one: what if I got my DME package already, but last week I changed my resort (new reservation number and everything). CRO says I can still use the tags I have, but the reservation number is all wrong. Doesn't it go by bar-code scan?

 

[bradk]

as long as it's changed in DME's system, it'd be okay. i'd call them directly at the 866 # just to verify.

Made the final payment on our August trip on July 8th. Today, in the mail, July 16th, we got the Magical Express packet. I, too, looked for the voucher for the "bus pin", but, alas, not one this year Got one last year and was hoping for one this year. Oh well, at least I know we are going to WDW and I will be able to get other pins!!!!!
