Has the Magical Express luggage checkin improved when leaving?

[busymomma123]

We were there May of last year right when Disney started offering the Magical Express. We checked in our luggage to go home at the POP. My DH stood in line for two hours to check in the luggage. It's not that the line was that long, but they were that slooooowwww. It would have been a lot easier to check it in at the airport. I am wondering if it has improved. We are staying that the CR in mid August. Thanks

Wow, a two hour line!

We've used this service at least 5 times and never had anywhere near that kind of wait. At most 15 minutes, most of the time its only 5 minutes. These experiences have been at OKW, BWV & BCV. Sorry, no experience at Pop.

I've used the resort luggage checkin service several times, and once at POP. If you get there early, you shouldn't have to wait too long. The longest line I have ever seen was last June, checking out of POR...seems there was a Pampered Chef convention, and there were a lot of them staying at POR. They all left the same day. And they all hit the luggage checkout line at the same time...around 9:30 or so. There had to be 100 people in that line!!! I got to the desk about 7:30 and had a 5 min. wait.
At POP is was a 10 minute wait at 6:30.

We just did the resort check in at Pop with a group of 12 (24 pieces of luggage) and it probably took us about 30 minutes total - inlucding time waiting in line and time for us to check our luggage in. There were three or four people in front of us, though. We thought it was great not having to drag all that to the airport with us. No complaints!

I used the Check-In last September at CR. It was very fast. I went down first thing in the morning to check-in my luggage (before I went to breakfast). I just kept my carry on in the room until check out. It was very quick and easy.

Great. I am so glad to hear that its improved. It probably was bad for us, due to it just starting. Thanks for all the info.
