Magic Express

Hi, I know that after 10pm Magic Express does not get luggage at the airport until the next day. Do they continue to run the buses or do they stop at a certain time?

I believe the buses are 24 hours, just not the luggage pick up

Yes, Magical Express runs around the clock/as needed. After 10, you do need to pick up your own luggage. Granted, DME will grab/transport/deliver tagged luggage the next day from the airlines' unclaimed luggage offices... but they're not responsible for it overnight. Frequently, the luggage sits on the carousel for a while after it stops running. An airline employee pulls it and piles it outside or inside the unclaimed luggage office (depending on the airline/policy/size of office). Then, too, the office may or may not be open overnight depending on incoming flights.

Oh, when you book they say that they will get your luggage the next morning. I had no idea that it sat out. You can get your luggage though and put it on the bus?:

I don't believe the unclaimed luggage sits out on the carousel. I think it is pulled off and put aside, in an office area for unclaimed bags..or at least off to the side, out of the way.
I would heartily recommend getting your own bags after 10pm. That way you'll have them in hand for the next day. That is my suggestion if you arrive any time after 9pm actually. I don't want to be sitting there, at midnight, wondering when my bags will get to my room.

Going to baggage claim, after 10pm, is going to add about 20 mins extra time to your DME trip. Not a big deal really. And it could actually be less time if you get reasonably lucky.

If our flight is scheduled to arrive at 8pm, would we get our bags delivered by DME that night, or will they be delivered in the morning? TIA!

That night.

That night.

Excellent, thank you!

That night.

Well, it might technically stretch into the next morning.

Your luggage should be delivered within three hours of resort check in. If you are at your resort by 9:10 p.m. (which would be about average for an 8:00 p.m. arrival) then your bags could arrive after midnight and still be within what DME promises. If it takes you longer to get to the resort or longer for DME to deliver luggage, then it could be later than that.

Also, I'm not sure of the deal at the values where, I believe, luggage services stops delivering bags to rooms at midnight.
