Airport Transfers & Theme Park Tickets
July 27, 2009
By the report from the Group Reservation manager, many of you have begun making reservations at the hotel. AWESOME! And many thanks to Kellie Morgantini’s report that the $129/night rate is the best for that hotel. We aim to please.
Airport Transfers
As you begin booking air travel (if that’s relevant to you), remember that this conference (and Disney in general) offers complimentary transfers to your Disney-property hotel via its Magical Express service.
I should be receiving a link that I can share that will allow you to make your Magical Express reservation right online. If it doesn’t, I’ll remind you to contact the group reservation desk and reserve your spot on the Magical Express.
For those of you who have never used this service, the Magical Express is a third-party bus service that greets you in Orlando International Airport, checks you onto your bus, and whisks you away to your hotel. Your luggage follows you and hour or two later (so make sure you have what you need to get started on your trip – whether it’s a bathing suit or “park-wear.”) and is placed in your room for you. It’s a great service for those of you traveling with family, especially if you intend to take advantage of some time at the park. Once you check into your hotel and receive your Key To The World (your hotel room key and theme park admission ticket), you’re off on your adventure.
Theme Park Tickets
Speaking of the Theme Parks, if you’re planning on partaking (and are not an annual passholder), wait to book your admission tickets until I give you more information. This group reservation includes some discounts on tickets (like the part-day admission tickets) and it’s going to be best if you wait to book that part of your trip until I give you some more information.
As soon as I can, I’m going to provide you with that information, because I know that some of you want to begin booking dining reservations for the trip.
I’ll try to give some hints on park fun, like dining reservations, as soon as I finish piecing together the logistics on the event itself.
Bonus Information – Possibly a FREE Disney Dining Plan
I have ZERO information on the compatibility of this offer with the conference hotel room rate, but Disney Rewards Visa is offering a FREE Disney Dining Plan for trips booked using this card and it’s available during when we’re supposed to be there.
There are different levels of the plan available and, as advertised, those people staying in moderate-level hotels (like the Coronado Springs Resort) are eligible for the Dining Plan that gives you 1 table service meal, 1 counter service meal, and 1 snack per day. I’ll let you take a look at the Disney Dining Plan here to learn what that all means.
In the meantime, I’m looking into whether the offer applies to this conference. So, don’t hold me to anything quite yet.
