POR - magical express

Floridatilly · 15 Jan 17, 10:43 AM

Hi, we have never used the magical express before. Do you book it or just turn up with your Disney booking details?
Once on the bus do you have to wait until it is full before it sets off or do they leave at certain times?
also, do they stop at every resort? If so any idea when the POR drop will be?
Any idea how long it will be from getting on the magical express to getting off at POR?
Thank you so much x X

I booked ME online and on the day just turned up and gave them my name and they found us.

I think we were one of the last groups to get on the bus. It wasn't full.

It went to the 3 All Star hotels first then onto Coronado Springs (where we were staying - we were also the last ones on the bus).

Hi 😃

You have to book on to it, there is no charge.

We had to wait about 20 mins before it set off for other people to get on, but not until it was full. There are cartoons playing on a screen to keep you amused 👍

I think we stopped at one resort before POFQ, so POR probably 2 stops first if they have buses running on the same cycles

Does the ME booking show on MDE?. I can't see it on mine but the travel agent paperwork has it included.

I can't remember it showing on MDE. I just got an email.

You can book it online here:

We've never had more than a 15-20 minute wait on the coach. When staying at POR/POFQ and SSR the coach has dropped off at SSR, OKW, POFQ and POR (not necessarily in that order, but can't remember the exact order). They're really close to each other as they're all Disney Springs resorts and they don't hang around - it's literally stop, unload and straight off to the next stop. I liked getting a glimpse of other resorts

Magic Moments: even if it says on your paperwork that it's included, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's been booked for you, so would recommend doing it yourself to be sure. It doesn't show up on MDE.
