Magical Express Question?

[OhioMom23]

We are going to the World in September We are flying Southwest then using Magical Express to get to Pop. Our flight should arrive by about 1:30 pm on a Friday. How long do you have to wait for M. Express?

TIA

It kind of depends on when you get there and when the last bus left. We've used DME 3x now and so far we've never had to wait more than 20mins including the time it takes to check in for DME. I'm not counting the time it takes to get off of the airplane and get to the check-in point though (another 10-15mins (tops) maybe?). I've never really timed it but it didn't seem that bad, especially considering you don't have to stop and pick up your luggage at the carrousel or mess around w/renting a car or finding other transportation to the hotel.

yep, I agree it's about half an hour from plane to bus, depending on how fast you walk and how busy they are

DME is located in Terminal B on the ground level - and it is on the extreme end so once you get to the ground level you still have quite a bit of walking to do before you reach it. There are CM's down there directing people (close to where the checkin is) so once you see them you know you're in the right place.

On our last trip when we came back to our room one bag was missing but it had just been misrouted and they brought it to our room the next morning. Our prev two trips everything came together.

FYI the Transportation Board here has a few stickies on DME in case you weren't aware.
