ME....not for my

[Janet-TX]

Husband. Though magical expess comes with our package, there is no way DH is going to go for the bus ride, either way. I'm thinking round trip town car service for us and the couple that will be with us.

1. Will town car be large enought for 4 adults, 4 22" roller bags and 4 small carry-ons?

2. What companies do suggest from your experiences?

3. Can we do resort airline check-in on our departure day at YC to get our American Airlines boarding passes?

4. Any other tips or suggestions?

Thanks for the help. We are going in early December....can't wait!

1. Will town car be large enought for 4 adults, 4 22" roller bags and 4 small carry-ons?

The Lincoln Towncar, which is used by most towncar companies, is a large sedan with a huge, deep trunk. You'll have 3 adults in the back seat and one in the front passenger seat. Whether the back seat will be large enough depends on the width of the adults.

The luggage should not be a problem. I assume your 22" roller bags are rolling uprights that you'll be carrying on the flight with you. So you won't have any checked luggage. By the way, a towncar is great if you don't have any checked luggage, because you can save time by bypassing baggage claim — just like the guests who use Disney's Magical Express.

2. What companies do suggest from your experiences?

FL TOURS sponsors the DISboards Transportation board, so that would be a good place to start. They have a good reputation. The other better known towncar companies all have their fans. I would avoid any company that nobody has ever heard of, even if they're the cheapest. If you search hard enough, you'll find a some negative comments about every company — but that wouldn't stop me from using any of the better known companies.

3. Can we do resort airline check-in on our departure day at YC to get our American Airlines boarding passes?

Yes! You're allowed to get your boarding passes from Resort Airline Check-in, even if you're not taking Disney's Magical Express to the airport. If you decide to check any of your bags, you can do that too.

4. Any other tips or suggestions?

Have a great vacation!

I won't try to talk you into using Disney's Magical Express (even though I'm a big fan of DME). If you prefer the personal service that a towncar company provides, and you don't mind spending the money, then go for it! The towncar will be on your schedule, instead of you having to be on the schedule of the DME motorcoach.

Look for a company that will provide an SUV for your group. Town cars get real crowded with 4 adults in them.
