The Magical Express Express, was pretty good, for the most part.
Once we got to the welcome center and checked in, it was a 10 minute wait - maximum to get a bus to our resort. The driver, was great, the trip was smooth.
The only problem was that our luggage didn't get to our room until just after 5:30pm (We arrived in Orlando at 11:00am). We had a 6:10 dinner reservation at Fort Wilderness and then were going on to the Chip and Dale campfire, so I had to go to bell services to check on things. I wouldn't have cared except I had marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers packed away in our breakfast suitcase for the Chip and Dale fire. They said that 6 hours to get luggage to the resort from time of landing was very unusual and checked into it right away.
I probably should have kept the campfire food with me on the plane but I wasn't expecting to be getting the luggage more than 4 hours from landing.
It all worked out in the end, as our luggage somehow was on the other end of the hotel, and was able to be retrieved quite quickly.
On the way home, it was smooth sailing with the bus to the airport trip.
This system seemed to be much quicker than the MEARS shuttle service that we had used in the past.
