checking in at the Magical express?

[youngaussienurse]

Hi everyone! Just a question that I hope someone can answer for me. Our flight from MCO leaves at 8am with United to san fran and then international with Air New Zealand back to Australia. My question is, can we check in at the Magical express desks at the hotel (staying at CR) (and it will be early...4-5amish) and get our bording passes for united there, or will we have to get them at the airport? Just wondering because last time we flew united the check in desk had a line soooooo long!! Also, can we request the magical express to pick us up at our preferred time, seeing that we have an international connection to get? We would like to get it about 4am and leave ourselves enough time for delays and check ins? How would we go about doing this, as I have just filled in the ME form online but it doesn't give you times. If they allocate a time and we want an earlier one, can they give you it? TIA

Upon arrival at the welcoming area at the airport or even after you get to the resort you can request an earlier time for going back to the airport (greater than 3 hours). Be sure your requested time shows on the paper you get the day before checkout, or re-request it and get a new paper before going off to the parks that day.

The resort's airline check in desk opens at 5-ish. If it is not open or if there is a long line, you will have to forego using it and board the bus with your luggage and check in at the airport as all those on non-participating airlines do.
