Hi Patti! You and I think a lot alike! Midnight is too late for me to have my luggage delivered to my Disney Resort hotel room. Bell Services absolutely will hold your bags for you. Once you are in your Resort hotel room, call Bell Services and ask them to hold your bags until morning. When you are ready for them the next day, simply call Bell Services again and a Cast Member will deliver them to you. We have done this on multiple occasions. You just have to be super prepared and have everything you need in your carry-on bags.
Another option is to pick up your luggage yourself if you are arriving late and need some of the items you have checked. If you decide to do this, go to baggage claim and pick up your bags. From there, proceed to
Disney's Magical Express check-in. Once you are ready to board the motorcoach, your luggage will be stowed in the luggage compartment and returned to you when you arrive at your Disney Resort hotel. (If you are going to do this, make sure you do NOT put the yellow Disney's Magical Express luggage tags on your checked bags.)
For Disney's Magical Express Guests arriving between 10:00 PM and 5:00 AM, they are required to claim their bags and bring them with them on the motorcoach.
Regardless of how you get your luggage to your Resort hotel room from Orlando International Airport, you can still use the Resort Airline Check-In and check your luggage for your return trip home.
Disney's Magical Express is so wonderful! When I board the motorcoach, I get so excited! I know my Walt Disney World Resort vacation has officially started.
Thanks so much for your question, Patti. Please let me know if you need any further tips or advice as you plan your magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
