Utilizing Magic Express with DVC

[jocin3]

We are in the process of starting to look for our first DVC contract. Wanted to find out if we are still able to utilize Magic Express and who would book this-Members Services or would I have to do it myself (if so where would I call) Thanks in advance for any help.

Any one staying at a Disney owned & operated Resort at WDW (which includes DVC) can use Disney's Magical Express. You would call MS once you have your flight information or there is a webform on the member website that you can fill out (sends e-mail to MS).

We have used Magical Express many times. Both from the airport to our DVC Resort, and for our return trip from the resort to the airport.

The return is especially nice if you are flying a participating airline. You check your bags at the resort (some time in the morning), board the bus, and the next time you have to deal with your bags, is at your destination airport.

It's nice to save some $$ when you can. I figure we probably save somewhere around $50 each way.

However, it is a trade off between money and time.

Travelling Magical Express will take more time than using other types of transportation.

You might have to wait for a bus at the airport, and then the bus might make 3 stops for drop offs. We usually end up on the last, or second to last stop.

The same goes for the return to the airport. They schedule your ME pickup about 2.5 to 3 hours before your flight.

IF you use ME, just be sure to schedule the time into your plans.

Thank you! We have used Magic Express last year for our first stay on property. I wasn't sure whether it was available for DVC but glad to hear it-my husband was thrilled not to drive for a week.

Yes, we use it all the time!
