Hey there ME question... (not me, but M.E.)

[LaneOT]

Hey y'all me again... I've convinced my BF to split our stay from off site scared1: I know, I know) to half-off, half-on (way to go MR. MIAGI...just kidding, inside joke). However, we were wondering if magical express is available only for return trip to MCO.. Also do they pick up your bag the night before or can you carry them to the bus... all we want is a ride to the airport, we can handle everything else...thanks in advance for your help

Yes, you can definitely use ME one-way only, we've done it a few times when we split our time between WDW & the beach.

You can have your luggage checked if you are traveling on a participating airline (in which case you check in for your flight at the resort hotel, as well) or carry your luggage with you. If you take the luggage with you, you will still have to check in for your flight at the airport.

There is no such thing as Disney picking up your bags the night before you leave. If you are flying on a "participating airline" and choose to use Resort Airline Check-in, you have to bring your bags to the RAC desk no later than 3 hours before your flight, and no earlier than 12 hours before your flight, and it must be same-day.

If you aren't using RAC, simply take your bags to the DME bus with you. The driver will stow them under the bus, you'll get them back as soon as you arrive at the airport, and you'll take your bags to your airline's ticket counter or curbside check-in podium.
