The information I got from a source at Mears was they have almost 40 brand new buses coming in this april and after they are painted with the magical express design they will be put into regular service to work out the bugs in the brand new buses. They will be very similar to the disney cruise line buses. The luggage is what would scare me as well. The bus will be like mears service of going to several resorts from what I gather, however you need reservations for this so they should know who is coming and be able to group you together.

Personally I prefer the town car, for me its generally cheaper. I know the magical express is free, but I don't think it will be a permanent thing. Right now it will only be for the 18 month celebration. With a towncar I know exactly where my bags are at all times, or who has them (airline, trunk of car, bell services) and I like being able to say my bags were checked in at the departing airport and they did not make it to the arrival airport. I still will recomend people to go the towncar route. it will still be quicker in a town car plus you get a 30 min grocery stop with most of them. you also get the benefit of private transportation with a professional driver.
