Hey there, Whitney! Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel.
You’re going to love Disney's Magical Express! The moment that I step off the airplane and check-in for Disney’s Magical Express, I know that I’m on vacation and one step closer to checking into my hotel room at
Walt Disney World… my happy place.
Prior to the end of your vacation, you can absolutely check your luggage at the front desk of your
Walt Disney World Resort hotel. Our family has done this multiple times! However, to ensure that you do not miss your flight, motorcoach departure times are scheduled to allow time to travel to Orlando International Airport and proceed to your airline gate, which is typically three hours prior. So you’ll want to plan accordingly to be back at your Resort prior to this time.
No need to fret as the day before you check out, the friendly Cast Members will deliver a Disney’s Magical Express transportation notice to your Disney Resort hotel room. Both the departure time and place for your motorcoach ride back to Orlando International Airport will be on this notice. That’s it! It’s a very simple process.
If you have any other questions please let us know. Otherwise, be sure to tell Mickey I said hello!
