Magical Express???? use it or not?

[tss2]

I wondered who had some experience with the new magical express. We are staying at Pop Century for several days without a car and then renting a car and heading to Vero Beach.

My question is: I only need transportation from the airport to Pop Century at the beginning of my trip. Is Magical Express working well enough or should I use another transport? We ususally use Tiffany Towncar and are very happy, but it costs and Magical express is free. Also, our flight doesn't land till almost 6pm. I would like to get to the resort asap to get to do something rather than wasting time. Is Magical express working quickly or slowly?

THanks for any input!

I have not used the magical express, but know someone who has. They said that when they got to their resort their luggage had not arrived, and the CMs told them that it would arrive shortly but to have "a magical day". Their luggage finally arrived 6 hours later. You have to wait awhile for the bus to take off from the airport because they have to try to get a full load of people. We always have the option of using magical express, but have always decided to rent a towncar instead because they are more reliable. Hope this helps!

I used ME last month, on the first day it started! It worked out fine for us. We didn't land in Orlando until around 11 pm because our flight was delayed. I decided to go ahead and get our bags off the conveyor because I didn't want to chance us not getting them for several hours. We just loaded our bags onto the bus. We did not use ME on the way back to the airport because other family members had rented a car and were flying back around the same time. I just called to cancel that reservation. I would definitely use it again.

I used ME on 6-4 and we didn't have to wait for the bus to fill up before we left. It took less than 10 minutes to check in at the me counter and take off on the bus and there were only about 4 other families with us. We were at POP within 45min of landing. It did take about 3 hours to get my luggage but we were out at the parks anyway. Great service and would use again.
