Magical Express and International Flights
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with ME and international flights. Does it work the same as domestic when you arrive? We aren't using it when we leave just when we get there. Thanks!

Re: Magical Express and International Flights
You should have no problems. We've used it 3 times now, once with a "non-participating carrier". Our bags were transported and arrived as they should. You go directly to the Magic Express (ME) counter on the 1st. floor of the terminal and check in. You are then directed to a line (your first of many on your vacation) that is grouped by resort. Our wait time was only 5 - 10 minutes before boarding. Each bus stops at a couple of resorts, your stop may not be the first one.
The only difference with ME for international, if you were taking it, is on the return trip you can't "check-in" at the resort. You load your bags on the bus and take them with you and into the airport, and check-in at the airport to get your boarding passes. Domestic passengers can "check-in" and get boarding passes issued at the resort - not a real big difference. If your on a "non-participating carrier" you might want to calling ME and just double check that as long as your bags have the yellow tags on them, they will be passed on appropriately. If you are nervous about your bags some people opt to pick them up on arrival themselves and bring them when boarding the bus. We've never worried and never had a problem though - we love the service.

Re: Magical Express and International Flights
We did the same thing, we picked up our own luggage and took it to the bus. That way we had it with us when we got our room. You could call ME and ask they are very helpful.
