Hello and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
I am thrilled to read that you will soon be surrounded with all the MAGIC that a
Walt Disney World vacation brings! Trust me, there is MAGIC around every corner and there is lots of it, so we had better get started.
Online Check-In is a great way to simplify the whole process of checking into your WDW Resort. I would rather be standing in line at one of the Disney Theme Parks than in line at my resort's lobby.
Disney's Magical Express requires that all guests be transported to their WDW Resort first. DME will not be able to make a stop at the WDW Theme Parks. No worries! Since you have already taken advantage of the Online Check-In process, you will be able to quickly board a bus to your first theme park at your resort's bus stop area.
Diane's Tip of the Day: If your room is not ready yet, simply leave your luggage with Bell Services and be on your way. Once you return in the evening, you may stop by to retrieve your own luggage or request that your luggage be brought to your room once you are back inside your resort room.
Have a MAGICAL day and "SEE YOU REAL SOON!"
