I almost didn't do magical express for our first trip because of the various reviews about the time it takes and the various stops,etc. I was worried and almost rented a car. The prices for a very busy season minivan stopped me and we decided to try the magical express. It was great. Although it stops at a few places, it is quick and efficient and the video is playing on board and the kids were so excited to be on something disney it was like we had already arrived.
Our second trip is this summer and we are doing it again. The bus is part of the fun. It gets you more excited to arrive.
