Virgin Transport

[DisneyAdamUK]

Hello to you all.

Me and my girlfriend are staying at the Port Orleans Riverside from 1st Novermber.
I booked it up through Thomas cook and asked the girl to try and book me onto Disney Magical Express but she hasn't done it yet, i need to get onto her about it!
Anyway we are flying with Virgin and we can get the virgin bus to our hotel but i just want to know is it very good, should i still try to book disney me? Does virgin transport take you all around the houses?
I don't want to be sat on a bus for ages i just wanna get to the hotel and enjoy the holiday as soon as possible!!
Thanks in advance.

I've never used the Virgin transport but would imagine that it would be a bus that drops people off at a number of hotels.

Another option for you is to book a towncar or limo transfer to your hotel.

You get greeted at baggage reclaim by you driver and get taken direct to your resort in style and comfort - you can even book a grocery stop on route to stock up on a few vitals (beer, snacks etc.).

The round trip transfers cost around $90 plus tip. Limos are a bit more.

Take a look at FLTours for more info:

Ive always used the transfers and it has been great. Its not a Virgin bus which takes you to loads of different hotels, its a lovely Disney Coach which only drops off at a couple of hotels. Also the service is really good, there is someone waiting for you in the airport and they take you to the coach. Last time I remember it went to Port Orleans first and then took us straight to the All Stars. I really wouldnt bother booking anything else.

I might be wrong (no really) but I thought I read somewhere that Magical Express was only available to those landing on internal flights and not from outside the US.

Shame 'cos we could have tried this too

Thanks for the replies.

I spoke to disney on the phone and they said i couldn't book me on the phone but can get it at Orlando airport when we are there.
From what jenuk says the virgin one sounds pretty good.
I will have a think about a towncar, it's tempting!!

The money saved on not getting a limo could be spent on something in the parks......a giant mickey mouse perhaps???!
