Re: Southwest and Magical Express questions

Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

We've always flown with Delta, but in Feb 09 we will probably be flying southwest (delta no longer has direct flights and their schedule is horrible). I was under the impression that Magical Express operates for all airlines, but resort airline checkin is the one limited to a select airlines. I could be wrong. I just looked on allears real quick and it doesn't say one way or the other.

As for the trip, the bus ride itse;f is only about 30 minutes or so, depending on which resort you are staying at. However, the trip from your plane to the ME check-in desk takes a bit and then you are at the mercy of the buses. We've always been lucky and our bus has arrived moments after we get in the line. ME Check-in doesn't take too long, even when there is a line. They are quite efficient. Overall you may want to assume an hour for planning purposes, even if it doesn't take quite that long. We find though, that just arriving at the airport feels like our vacation has started, so it doesn't ever feel like an hour!

Good luck!
