Hello, Christine! Your magical vacation is just around the riverbend! Disney’s Magical Express is the best way to start your vacation, from the on-board entertainment to luggage handling.
When your
Disney’s Magical Express envelope arrives, you’ll find luggage tags included, typically one per guest. If you need additional tags, please contact the same travel agent or tour operator used to book your trip. You can attach your tags to your luggage while you are still at home, and once they arrive in Orlando, handlers will collect the baggage and deliver it to your stateroom. This can typically take a few hours after arrival, so please be sure to pack anything you need immediately, like medications, swimsuits, and MagicBands!
When you arrive from Australia, after exiting the Customs area, you may keep your checked bags with you to travel on the motorcoach or—between 5:00 AM and 10:00 PM—you may use Disney's luggage delivery service. To take advantage of this complimentary service, simply return your checked luggage to the transfer carousel following the immigration and customs process. Disney will claim your baggage and deliver it to your Resort hotel.
You may want to just hand carry your luggage to Disney’s Magical Express, since you’ll already have it in hand. The driver will kindly load and unload it for you, whisking you straight to your Resort in style. If that is the case, take the plane train to the main terminal building where you will arrive on Level 3. Disney's Magical Express is located on Side B, Level 1. Guests arriving on Side A of the airport are advised to cross to Side B before proceeding down to Level 1.
If I can do anything else to help plan your magical vacation, please let me know! ~Lindsey P.
