Ok, just arrived at Pop Century. I flew in to MCO at 7:00. Stopping to use bathroom, it took me roughly 15-17 minutes to get to Disney's Magical Express. I waited about 5 minutes, and it took about an additional 20 minutes to get to Pop Century, which thankfully was the first stop
Im really worried about this I made dinner reservations on a hope and prayer(cause that time slot was all that was left) an hour and 40 minutes after we were scheduled to arrive and I really hope we can make it 😭
@@daikiaomine_sama One thing I can recommend is, when you're on the bus, let Disney Dining know that you're running late. Sometimes they will be able to extend your reservation time past the 15 minute grace period. Good luck!
I am so sad to hear of Disney discontinuing the Magical Express service....I truly see it as the first "ride" of each Disney vacation! I am usually giddy as I make my way to the check-in area at MCO, and love getting on the bus! Our next trip to WDW will not be the same....
Love the video! Having worked on the luggage side, yellow baggage tags and soon joining the traveling side, I would say keep in mind that later flights landing towards the end of the day that the luggage will not arrive unless taken on the bus until the following morning. With that said if your having luggage delivered to carry all personal and one set of clothing in a carry on piece of luggage.
Huge help man, I love your set up. My son and I are flying for the first time next week and we will be using magic express for the first time. Not sure what to expect
Honestly, with the times that I have gone, it hasn't mattered to me how long it takes because as soon as we have gotten into the lines for the Magical Express at MCO is when we have started our vacation. I feel the buses are very much part of it. They are comfy and the video they play makes is so fun in my opinion. I just went to WDW back in Sept and watching this video brought back good memories of going there with my family. :D
I just checked my Google Timeline for our visit Las year and it was 72 minutes from wheels on the ground, so you're spot on! Great video by the way - love your set!
For my next trip to Disney World there will be no magical Express usage as those who I am traveling with are driving and I will be doing the Disney college Program. I will be bringing loads of stuff related to my college Program needs.
Good information. My wife and I usually have a routine when we get to MCO. Usually, the flight we take lands at 1:00 pm, we usually go to the food court in the main terminal and have lunch to let some of the crowds thin out, then head to the Magical Express. We check our bags through disney and are at Pop Century or Art of Animation by 3:00 pm. The bags usually dont make it to the room until 6 or 7pm.

Jealous I'm not there, glad you got through so quick!
@@TheParkhop Yeah, it was quick. I think aside from like a family and like 3 other people, the bus was practically empty
Im really worried about this I made dinner reservations on a hope and prayer(cause that time slot was all that was left) an hour and 40 minutes after we were scheduled to arrive and I really hope we can make it 😭
Is your reservation in the hotel or at a Park?
@@TheParkhop it's at the Polynesian which is a different resort than our own. Love yall's videos by the way! Thank you for all that you do!

Glad you found it helpful. Have an awesome time!
The Family and I usually drive and send other family via airplane so this was a big help in making some decisions upon their arrival. Nicely done!
So glad it was helpful!

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback!
I have been stuck in traffic, the Magical Express was STILL less stressful than driving!
For my next trip to Disney World there will be no magical Express usage as those who I am traveling with are driving and I will be doing the Disney college Program. I will be bringing loads of stuff related to my college Program needs.
Great video and editing!
Thanks! Hope you come back for more in the future!
I Always stay at pop century resort in only takes 35 minutes
I've never waited in a line like what you showed. I always just scanned my magicband and walked right through!
Yeah, it's pretty common to be able to walk right through. Thanks for watching!

Wait, am I the first subscriber? Don't think that's ever happened before! Can't wait to see more.
Looks like you were at least one of the first three. Glad to have you!
Long enough to watch a lot of Goofy cartoons.
