if flight arrives at 1040pm, does ME still pick up?

[Disneyfun1]

just looked for airfare, not the best times, but if we arrive on a sat night at 1040 pm, we can get flight for 89 plus taxes per person one way. if we arrive that late, will ME still be able to take us to resort?

Magical Express will take you to the resort. I'm not sure what the policy is now for transferring your luggage that late. They may hold it until the am. You could leave the ME tags off of it and pick it up yourself before getting on the bus.

Found this info:

Effective March 30, 2009, Disney's Magical Express will no longer offer luggage delivery service for arrivals to the Orlando International Airport after 10 p.m. Guests arriving at the airport after 10 p.m. will pick up their luggage at the baggage claim and take it with them to the Magical Express motor coach to their resort. This will allow late-arriving guests using Magical Express to have more immediate access to their luggage. Luggage delivery service will still be provided for Magical Express and Disney Cruise Line guests traveling to Walt Disney World for a resort stay who arrive on flights beginning at 5 a.m. until 10 p.m.

We took a late-ish flight into MCO, I think we arrived around 9:30 pm. The only downside of getting in late is that the bus waits around for passengers, so you could be waiting 30 minutes or so for the bus to depart.

It's good to hear you can just bring your luggage along on the bus you are on.

ME buses run 24-7. Luggage transfer stops at 10pm, so you would have to pick up your own luggage at baggage claim and bring it with you to the bus.
