How late does M.E run?

How late does M.E. run? We will be arriving at MCO at 10:00pm on Sept. 28th. Will we still be able to use M.E.?

Thanks!

You should call disney just to double check, but when we were there last year, I couldn't sleep and I know the buses were running still at 3 am.
So I think they run 24 hrs.

Thanks!

Also does anyone know since I will be coming in that late, can I just ask to grab my bags off the bus when we get to my resort? Instead of waiting for them?

You can grab your bag off the bus IF you do NOT attach the yellow DME tags to your bag/s and IF you pick up your own luggage at the baggage claim carousel and bring it to the DME check in counter, then to the bus waiting area, then give it to the driver to stow in a compartment under the bus.

DME-tagged luggage does NOT travel on the buses; it is delivered to the various resorts by truck by a subcontractor with close to a dozen years experience handling luggage.

"Magical Express runs 24/7 EXCEPT if you come in after 11 PM you need to claim your own luggage and bring it to the Magical Express bus."

The above was from Small World Vacations travel agent when I thought I would take a really late flight.

SO it doesn't change anyone's answers above, just information for the curious.

My dd and dh arrived at MCO at 10:15 pm last month. They had only carryon so checked luggage wasn't an issue. They were at POP by 11:00.
If you are checking luggage, I would't put the yellow tags on them. Then I would just grab the bags myself and bring them to the DME desk and have them put on the bus. Otherwise, if you put the yellow tags on them, they will be pulled before they even get to the baggage claim area, put on the truck and who knows when they would get to the resort....most likely within a few hours but do you want to have them being delivered to you that late? I wouldn't so hence would grab them myself, the old fashioned way. But, arriving on a late evening flight is the only reason I would have for not using the yellow tags and having DME pick up the bags and deliver them to my resort.
