Magical Express for DVC members?

[jessirae]

Can DVC members automatically take advantage of the Magical Express regardless of what airline they are using? I was under the impression you had to be flying with a particiapating airline in order to use ME. We are booked on Soutwest, and I read they are not a pariticipating airline. However, as DVC members can we use the ME regardless of what airline we use? If not, does DVC have a shuttle service to take us from MCO to our resort?

Sorry if this question has already been asked, but I am really confused
Thanks!!

Yes you can use ME either go on Members web-sight and book it there or call MS and give them the info.

The only thing that Particapating Airlines get you is you can check your bags at the resort and get your boarding passes.

With SWA Just do your 24hr check-in ( front Desk or mobile phone,computer) and then take your bags on the bus with you and go to SWA check-in to check your bags and reprint your boarding pass if needed.

Thank you so much. That makes me feel a little bit better. We have 11 of us going, so this will be a real test
Thanks

No problem we use nothing but SWA and are now starting to use ME every time and just getting a rental at a DTD or CCC locations .

It's just so easy we even had our neice coming down on a different day and it was not going to be a problem.

That makes me feel even better. My DH is leaving after 4 days, he doesn't have as many vacation days as we hoped so he has to go back to work . So, when I put in the request with DVC for the ME, all I have to do is let them know he will be leaving on a diffrent date? That will really help! Thank you!

If you are all arriving( or main person on ressies) at the same time just go ahead and make your ressie with the dates of the main group.

Then when you check-in to the ME counter let the CM know then that some of your party will be needing to be picked up at an earlier date they will take it from there. Also keep ME's phone number handy so if anything changes you can call them directly .

They are great with helping with changes and making adjustments.
