Magical Express does not run from the port to Orlando. It runs between MCO and the WDW hotels only, and is free.

If you're referring to the DCL transfer buses from the port to WDW or MCO, they start running at 7:30 a.m. and cost $35 per person each way.

What I meant was what time does the bus return to MCO after your cruise?

Love the Hyatt, did it just in November. Never had a bag issue(and have done it at least 3 times). We were the very first people in port. It was great!

They run all morning.

i'm glad @princessmommyx3 noted we're to keep our luggage inside the hotel room. otherwise i might leave them outside all night, DCL style!

so what do you do in the port? i'm curious. how much time did you spend there until it was your check-in time?

Buses are available as soon as debarking starts. Once the bus to MCO is full, it departs. Subsequent buses depart when full or every 20-30 minutes. No set schedule.

You check in, get your picture taken. We got out on the deck and take some great pictures with ship in teh background. Characters come and you can get photos taken. Time goes really quickly. Boarding begins about 11:40-11:50. Just exciting to be there.
