Magical Express???

[mickeyholic]

Can someone explain the new Magical Express? Is it something I will need if driving to Disney?

It is for those staying at WDW resorts who are flying and landing at MCO at Orlando.Magical Express is where Disney pthen picks youand family at Airport and takes you to your resort and then takes you back to Airport for your departure flight.

I think I read this was only if you have a package, correct or no??

Also if not getting a package for your vacation and you fly what is the cost of transportation - ballpark - to and from the resort.

Go to the Transportation Board. There is a bunch of info there. That's where I got all my questions answered.

Right,good point,thanks.Town car service to and from around $100.00 ballpark for up to 5 folks in Town Car.I haven't done Mears Shuttle a little less expensive not much though if you are a party of three or more.I think cab is $35-$45 each way.

Not correct.

Disney's Magical Express is for anyone flying into Orlando International and staying at an on-site Disney resort, including the DVC resorts (but not including non-Disney resorts such as SoG, Swan+Dolphin, or the Hotel Plaza properties such as the Hilton or Wyndham). The service starts May 5, 2005, and it's complimentary through at least the end of 2006.

For more details, see the FAQ at http://disneymeetings.disney.go.com/dwm/services/detail?name=DMEAttendeesFAQDetailPage

Although this FAQ is written for group meeting attendees, it the same for everyone else (except that when it says "Group Reservation Office," mentally substitute your travel agent or WDW Central Reservations or DVC Member Services or however you booked your stay).
