Would those of you whove used disneys magical express recommend it?
I've heard it can take an hour or more to get to the resort :(?
According to the Disney website, it can take up to 45 minutes, and it can stop at up to 3 resorts before arriving to yours
but I havent actually used it ... sorry cant be of more help

I haven't used it since I always get a car. But, it can take an hour.

we've used it every time since it started :) saves us the town car costs and works really well.
yep, you need to be prepared for an hour or so journey. If you're first to be dropped off, it wont be that long, if you're the last it may even be a bit more. They do go to three resorts and they don't take LONG at each place.
They play a nice Disney video on the way and there tends to be a great atmosphere on the coach.
All in all I think it's a really good service for free!

:yes::yes:I agree with Keith. It took us about 3/4 hour go get to the BC but it was well worth it. They also arrived promptly to pick us up. Will use it this year and I think it's well worth it.

We are thinking about using this service now that you have to pay a surcharge to hire a car from MCO.

:wave: We really love the service! It takes about 30 min. to get from the airport to Disney anyway! It always puts us in the Disney mood when we board that bus. And did I mention , it's free!!!

We loved it. It might have taken a bit longer, but getting to relax with a Disney movie on the way to the world is well worth it for us :yes:

Do you drop your baggage to be picked up for you or do you take it with you to make sure you have it in good time?

Well with baggage there are a couple of different ways...in the US for domestic flights you can just use your luggage tags (Ive done this and it worked great..had our luggage in a reasonable amout of time) for UK'ers you will need to keep your luggage claim from your flight tickets. You give the DME people this and they pick up your luggage for you. OR you can grab your luggage (I have also done this) and take it with you. All of these ways are benificial to you and what you prefer. I personally didnt mind grabbing my own bags and taking it with me. I think I would only do this if I was flying in at a time when my room would be ready. If i get there early I would probably let DME handle it.
