Southwest fliers can use magic express!!

Hey, I just made my online ressies for August and they asked me if I wanted to use magic express. I was surprised to see Southwest on the list, along with many other airlines. It appears as if they are all jumping onboard with this. I've decided to try it, but if I hear bad reviews from others going before then I can go back to my original rental car plan. I may still rent a car for just one or 2 days so we can go to sea world.

Re: Southwest fliers can use magic express!!

Excellent news Karliebug. I can't wait to hear reviews on this. If all goes well, I too may use your plan and just rent a car for my Sea World Day.

It might actually be cheaper just to take a taxi, but I am not sure what the rates for rental cars are down there.

Re: Southwest fliers can use magic express!!

That is awesome! I am so close to booking flights for our summer trip. One thing that was holding me back was the ground transportation. Now that SWA is on the list I am even closer to booking it. I have to do some serious thinking now.

I am seriously thinking about using this in July. Did you call the general WDW number to book this?

no, I booked online, but I'm sure you can do it on the phone also.

Re: Southwest fliers can use magic express!!

I can't until this starts so I will know for sure if this is something we want to do or if I should just spend the money and book Quicksilver. I don't want to sit on a bus for 90 minutes waiting for another flight to get in just to fill more seats. We are getting in later in the day (evening) so my guess is the bus won't be full, I just don't want to wait.

Re: Southwest fliers can use magic express!!

Well, I booked it for my trip. I figure if I hear bad things about it then I'll just call and cancel and rent a car instead or use a limo service. I'm anxious to hear others experiences with it. I'm sure that there will be a few bugs to iron out the first month or so as there always is with something new. They did ask for my flight number and exact arrival time (to the minute!) so that makes me think that they will try to get you out of there in a timely manner.

We used the number. They said it takes 4 weeks to get your luggage tags, so make sure you call far enough in advance.
