Hi Samantha!
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel. It's wonderful to hear you will be taking advantage of
Disney's Magical Express during your next visit to Walt Disney World!
Before your trip, you will need to link your flight information to your reservation, where each Guest is able to have different flights listed. This can be done by calling 407-939-1936. Upon arrival into Orlando International Airport you will proceed to the
Main Terminal Building on Side B, Level 1 near the Ground Transportation Area. Across from the check in area for Disney's Magical Express is a seating area that your early arrivals can take advantage of and relax until everyone in your party has landed. I had a group of friends waiting for me here my last trip and walking up to everyone at once was so exciting! Since you'd like to stick together, please wait until everyone has arrived and you can then check in together and start your magical vacation.
For returning to the airport,
Magical Express picks you up approximately 3 hours prior to a domestic flight and 4 hours for international travelers. This is based on the flight information you provide. If your flights are at the same time this should not be an issue! If they are spread through out the day, but you want to return to the airport together I would recommend you put in the earliest flight time for everyone in your party to ensure you have the same pick up time for the Magical Express.
I hope you have a wonderful vacation and please let us know if we can be of anymore help!
