What CRO told me about ME yesterday

[Sleuth]

Okay, I had originally booked a towncar for our August trip. Well last night I decided to upgrade to a package with MYW Dining. The CM I spoke with was fantastic and ended up talking me into doing the magic express! I was leary at first (due to some negative things I had read), and asked her how the first day of service went.

The CM told me that it was very busy as expected, and that everything went well except some luggage was delayed (but none lost that she new of). All in all, she felt ME was a success on it's first day and it could only get better. She also explained how the buses are brand new & Disney themed (didn't know that, was thinking dirty old Mears Buses) and that they have t.v.'s playing DVD's or Disney information. How cool is that? Well, she convinced to me to go for it!

I just wanted to let everyone know that it's likely not as bad as some have been saying, and not to be afraid to give it a try- it's Disney so it's got to be cool.

I have seen the buses from the outside and they look great! They are NOT the old Mears buses.

Does anyone have a picture of the buses can see? I did see some great pictures of the luggage tags yesterday though. I am really excited to try the ME, the CM got me pumped up about our trip!

Not a picture, but it looks like an artist's rendering. Still pretty cool, in a retro sort of way

The new buses are very nice on the way to your hotel you get a dvd presentation of things to do while at dinsey almost like there tv station and on the way to the airport tells you of things to come in the future and also
the DVC sales pitch. Now here comes the but they are running those buses plus still running the older Disney Cruise line bus also.

Someone did post pictures of the buses, inside and outside. I'm sure if you do a search, you'll find them.

We will be using the magical exprees in 14days (CANT WAIT!).. I will post details and pictures in my trip report when I get back.. all in all it sounds like a great deal..


We haven't recievied our luggage tags yet though, and thats starting to worry me..

This reminds me I need to write a pre trip.

addlema, I haven't received mine yet either and we are to arrive on the 18th! I'm going to call if they aren't here Monday. That will give them a few days to get them to me.

I will be arrivung on the 18th also. No ME tags here either.

It has been posted that ME CM's will be stationed at the exit from the tram from gate to terminal. If you did not receive your ME tags before your departure from home they will take your baggage claim receipts and go get your bags from baggage claim for you and direct you to the bus loading area.
