Hi.
I'm trying to book transportation from/to the airport with Disney's Magical Express, as it is shown in the Global Forum FAQ.
But...
The Disney Magical Express support just says, that I'm not registered with the hotel, so no luck...
And Conference Direct (or whomever it is that is booking the rooms on behalf of Global Forum) doesn't respond to e-mails.
Any ideas are welcome, as I'm kinda lost 😕
Regards,
Thomas
Greetings,
To my understanding, the disney magical express isnt available since the conference hotel inst owned by disney. Below is a link to the website sent with information on how to book through Mears via a discount.

If my information in in error, someone please join in.. Cheers,

This was my understanding as well.
I reserved a room at the Coronado Springs Resort, which should be eligable for the Magical Express. I still booked the room through the SAS site.
I'll try and book again this weekend, and see if it goes through.
For those staying at SwonDolphin - they have some addition information Here:

Mears seems to be the cheapest - and prior post had a link to discounted fees.
ahhh I see now, your correct you will have that option! Gails post below will surely answer your question better than. See ya in Orlando! Cheers
I think alot of this has been covered but sharing some info regarding this topic.

It is highly recommended you wait until the 13th. If you need to handle before then, our conference direct team is happy to reach out on your behalf to get your confirmation numbers.

See you all in Orlando!
Hi Gail.
Great info.
Just to let you know, I actually tried to get in touch with Conference Direct, but they never responded.
I went to the "reserve your hotel now"-site (https://resweb.passkey.com/go/SGF2017SGF), and on the top of that page it says "contact information". I can see, that the e-mail-address on that page does not match the one in the FAQ, so maybe they never got my e-mail...
FYI. Got an email this morning from Disney Destinations with the reservation # and was able to call in and book the Disney Magical Express. Very painless.
As others have mentioned, it should be possible to book your ride after the 13th. I haven't received any booking info from Disney or Conference Direct, but I did try and book (again), and this time I got a sort of a welcome message from Disneys Magical Express, so I think you should try and book again.
I thought it was already set up!
I just called Disney and confirmed hotel room.
Disney then connected me to the Magical Express to confirm transportation as well - I had to tell flight # and confirmation # for room.
Thank goodness I read this otherwise I would be hitching a ride with one of you from airport! 😉
