Disney will deposit a letter under the door of your resort room letting you know what time they’ll be returning you to the airport. Guests should note that these NO LONGER come in the same shipment as your MagicBands and are sent separately. About 3 weeks before you are due to leave for your Walt Disney World Vacation, you will receive in the mail your Magical Express luggage tag as well as a leaflet explaining the service, and directions on where to find the Express buses in the terminal. All the documents you need to use Magical Express come right to your door. That being said, it is magical to be able to get off of your plane, hop on a bus, and if the roads are clear be at your resort in 30-45 minutes!Ĩ. So if making ADR’s or Fastpass reservations on arrival day, give yourself at least a 2 hour window if not more. Guests should remember that the journey is roughly 30 miles. In some cases you won’t be able to hop on your bus straight away (the longest I’ve ever waiting was 30 minutes) and there’s also the unpredictable Orlando traffic. As a pretty safe rule of thumb, I tell clients to plan on the complete journey taking between 90 minutes – 2 hrs. In 90 minutes you’ll be at Disney – I get asked a lot by clients wanting to maximize their time at the parks, how long it takes to hop on Magical Express, arrive at your hotel, check-in and then head to the theme parks. When you’re juggling kids, stuffed animals, pillows, purses and a myriad of other things its nice to know you aren’t dragging a week’s worth of clothes for your whole family behind you. International guests sorry! Since your bags need to clear customs you’ll need to pick them up at baggage claim regardless.ħ. Its a pretty no-fuss way to get too and from the airports. They’ll magically show up in resort rooms a few hours later. This allows your bags to be separated out and be picked up for you by Disney when you arrive in MCO. If you’re flying domestic or in Canada, you’ll receive special Magical Express luggage tags that you’ll need to affix to your bags before checking them in at your departure airport.

No lugging your luggage – In my mind, the absolute best perk about using Disney’s Magical Express is the fact that you don’t need to go to baggage claim when you touch down in Orlando. If there’s any changes or delays to your flight, don’t worry Magical Express will accommodate you.Ĥ. You can do this online, by calling 40 or by getting in touch with your travel agent. Easy to book – Once you’ve booked the flights for your holiday, you are ready to make your Magical Express reservation. On your return trip back to the airport, you’ll leave directly from your Walt Disney World Resort- it couldn’t be easier.ģ.


With just a scan of your MagicBands (so don’t pack these in your checked luggage) you’ll line up in the bus queue for your resort and will shortly embark on your Walt Disney World vacation. Go down to the ground floor via the escalator or elevators along the back hall and head to the end of the terminal where you will find the Magical Express check-in service. When you arrive into Orlando make your way to the main concourse and look for the B-side baggage claim signs. Convenient location – This complimentary motorcoach service operates from Orlando International Airport to your Walt Disney World resort (there is currently no shuttle service offered out of Sanford) 24hrs a day.
#MAGICAL EXPRESS RESERVATION FREE#
Not only are all Walt Disney World resort guests offered free transportation from your resort to the theme parks but you can also get to and from the airport at no extra cost.Ģ.

But when it comes to Walt Disney World, consider yourself spoiled. Magical Express is absolutely FREE- If you’ve cruised with Disney before or have taken the shuttle to and from the airports when visiting Disneyland, you’ll typically encounter a fee for these services.
