Magical Express! Is it better or worse?

WEDINDISNEY · 01-17-2006

I was wondering that since ME has been out for awhile now has Disney worked out all the "kinks"? Is there anything that we should worry about?or ask about? etc We dont leave until the end of March.

I'm looking forward to the responses to this thread. I use DME in four days, and I'd like to hear some reviews to see how smoothly it's running in recent weeks.

queensmama · 01-17-2006

In September it ran great. Though I will go back to quicksilver for future trips. To much wasted time in line and stopping at other resorts.
But hey it was free and you get what you pay for.

It was good in November....No long line...got to our resort in pretty good time too. The only problem was that the AIRLINE lost one piece of luggage:(

Oh..Inguana boy...I knew you were gonna have to post just to say you are leaving soon

rlcarmichael · 01-17-2006

I didn't care for it. Long wait at airport and DARN grumpy driver. Renting a car for next weekend.

Sons did it week after, didn't wait and had no problems other than driver's really poor english.

Didn't use the bag tags so can't say how well that is working now.

I'm not too worried about making a few stops along the way to get to my resort. Although I am hoping that the bus that heads to the AK resorts hits CSR first.

This of course is when I leave, you know, in 4 days.

We had a wonderful experience on Christmas Day. We were in our room at Pop Century within an hour of landing. We had a funny enthusiastic driver who also helped make the start of our WDW vacation great.

lovemysons · 01-17-2006

We thought the service worked great in June, but in December we were not impressed. Very long lines, we waited for a very long time for our bus, and the driver did not leave a lasting impression, either way. We will be going back to Quicksilver for our next trip.

Princess Tessa · 01-17-2006

I can't decide weather to use magical express or the Disney Cast Member picup bus when I go. I think I'll go with ME because it being my first trip to the world I'd rather get the big (hopefully) air-conditioned bus lol....the one that picks up the new internationals I would have to wait for I believe.

P.S. OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!! INGAMBA! WHEN DID YOUR TRIP SNEAK UP SO SOON! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**DisneyTeacher** · 01-17-2006

We used it in July and had a great experience. There was no line to check in and our bus was ready about 15 minutes after we checked in. There was only ONE other person on our bus so it made only two stops.
