Magical Express Bus Routes

Do you think the order in which the resorts are listed in the zone is the order in which they will make the stops? We are staying at AKL and it is listed first in the green zone. Does that mean we get dropped off first?????

mickaholic4077 · 04-22-2005

I would bet that the driver will take a head count of how many are going to each resort and will do the least amount first so to be as fast as possible.(Mind you,this is just a guess!)

queensmama · 04-22-2005

Looking more and more like we will be renting a car. That is just to long and to many stops.

skwak · 04-22-2005

We are very undecided for our October trip but very interesting...

I would think that they will have a certain route to follow like any other bus service. For example, to get to the Poly and GF, you have to enter the MK gate which means that you would pass the WL first. I don't think they would go past it to the others and then go around and through the gates again to come back to it.

I wonder how long you will have to wait at the airport for your bus?

**Dana** · 04-22-2005

That's very cool. I am thrilled to see that they are setting it up like that. It should run pretty smooth and your wait time to your resort shouldn't be to bad.

kizzmitt · 04-22-2005

Looks promising, they said no more than 4 stops so it could possibly be less. Each stop is in the same area so it should go fast. I'm going to be hopeful since I'm trying it out on it's 2nd day! I'll let everyone know how it was when I come back!

**cinderbella** · 04-22-2005

I am interested to see how it works for those of you that are planning on using it....but secretly...im glad i drive!

dznygrl · 04-22-2005

This looks better than I expected...the common sense approach should make the whole process go pretty smoothly!

Can't wait to hear how it works out for some DCers.

**DisneyTeacher** · 04-23-2005

I am still excited about trying this. I think it sounds great. I guess since we are getting in at 8pm I don't mind if it takes 45 minutes to get me to my resort or 90 minutes. If I were going to a park after our flight I may feel different. I can't wait to see how this works out.

phayes93 · 04-23-2005

Someone who uses it let the rest of us know how it goes -- we'll be there middle of May and plan on using it...

tink74 · 04-23-2005

Boy, I hope things move along quickly. Our plane lands around 10am, and I would like to get to the resort as quickly as possible.

I'm sure Disney will get it down to a science!

I really expect Disney to pull off great things with this. I think the waits will be short and people are going to be pleased over all. Just think if you have to claim your luggage, get your rental and load it and then get to your resort. With DME we go straight to the bus and then off to the resorts. The fastest way to the resorts is still a car service but this is free.
