Our flight departs Orlando at 7:55am which means that the Disney Magical Express will be picking us up at Port Orleans prior to 5 am. According to the rules we cannot check our baggage & get our boarding passes at our resort because they won't be open yet. Does anyone know if we can check our baggage and get our boarding passes the night before?? We are only checking one bag, the rest is carry on. I REALLY don't want to deal with the check in line at Orlando Airport if I can avoid it.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
There use to be not more than 12 hour limit. Not sure if it still valid. But RAC would not be open at the 12 hour limit.

Also if you have a 5 am pick up time be checked in at 4:40-4:45. 5 am is when the bus would be leaving.

Unfortunately, you'll have to take your luggage with you. You can't use RAC more than 12 hours before your departure and it closes at 1 PM so you won't be able to do it the day before.
 
Keep in mind too that your departure time will likely be 4:55 am. Which means you need to be at the bus stop, ready to go, at 4:40 am. Buses do come early, and they will leave if no one is there waiting to board. I was almost responsible for my dad missing his bus, as I forgot to pass that little nugget of into along.:headache: He got to the bus stop just as the bus was ready to pull away.
 

we have the same situation. Is there anywhere we could do on line check in and print our boarding passes (just like I will from home when we leave)?

I did it at the concierge desk at POP - I'm sure any of the resorts will do it for you (I'm flying to Canada, so I couldn't use RAC, even though the times would have been fine).
