How late for Disney's Magical Express

[wdwfan]

I just booked an awesome rate on Southwest using a ding fare out of Philadelphia. However, we don't arrive until 11:30pm into MCO. How late does Disney's Magical Express go until? Thank you!!

All night, more or less. As long as you have reservations (and you can't use DME without them), they're aware of your flight arrival time and WILL make arrangements to transport you. Chances are there will be a number of other Disney Guests/DME users on your flight, or at least arriving around the same time.

DME is a 24 hour 7 day a week operation.

And it's not like you'll surprise a sleepy CM when you show up. You have to make a reservation for DME, and thus they'll know you're coming. And you won't be the only one.

Be aware that luggage can arrive at your resort 2-3 hours after you do. You can pack a carry-on with what you need for the night and next morning (which is always a smart way to travel just in case the AIRLINE delays your luggage) AND when you check in at the resort ask them to hold your luggage until you call for it in the morning (or else you risk being woken at 2:30 in the morning by a Bell Services CM!).

You also have the option of retrieving your own luggage from baggage claim, schlepping it to the DME Welcome Center and then to the bus, etc. This will take you more time and effort, but some people feel better doing this. I'm not one of them. I think the luggage delivery is the magical part of Disney's Magical Express.
