Magical Express and Arriving on Two Airlines

[ColoradoK]

Because we have free flights on two different airlines, I think DH and I will fly separately with a kid or two each. It's not booked yet, so I don't know if we'll be arriving at vastly different times, but...when I arrange for ME with my reservation and they ask flight information...what happens if it two different flights on two different airlines???

I thought you could reserve ME, then just walk up and get a ticket or what ever then procede to the bus? Hmmm...

After you've reserved ME, you'll recieve a booklet with information and the necessary vouchers. Each person will have a voucher (with the person's name on it). When you get down to the ME check-in, they will ask for those vouchers. After they've confirmed it the vouchers, then you will sent to the appropriate cue to wait for the bus.

For those flights arriving after 10:00 pm, the buses will still be running, but the luggage service does not. You will need to claim your own luggage and then proceed to the ME check-in.

When you reserve ME, I would tell them that you are one party, but arriving on different flights (with different flight times). I think they just want the flight times so they can gauge how many people should be arriving at any given time to take the bus.

Arriving on different airlines, at different times will make no difference to DME. You can either wait for the second group to arrive and then checkin together, or the first group can head to DME and go to the resort and the other group can do the same when they get to MCO.
My dd and dh have arrived the day after me and had no issues at all with DME. As long as everyone who wants to ride the bus is listed on the reservation, they're good to go. And since you're all at one address, no problems giving each person their voucher and luggage tag.
