We have a 7 am flight on northwest the day we depart, can we still use magical express?? I see the buses start at 5 am and you have to check in 3 hours early any advice?? :confused3 I think I was reading the check in desk opened at 5, thanks for the clarification.

Also, is bellhop open 24/7 at value resorts, I have to leave a fridge for some swappers, or maybe I will have to turn it in the day before?? Thanks!
 
Magical Express busses run 24/7. They will pick you up 3 hours in advance, so 4:00 a.m.

Advice would be .... lots of coffee.
 
or no coffee and sleep on the bus, in the airport and on the plane. You just need one member of your family awake enough to make sure you don't miss your boarding announcement.

Good point, but why is it always me who is the one just awake enough.... :confused3:cool2:
 

The 5am you read about is the Resort Airline Checkin Desk. Totally separate service. They don't open till 5am, so you will have to take your bags to the airport on the bus and check in at the airport.
 
I've done the 'middle of the night' ride back to the airport several times. You'll want everything taken care of the night before. Pack everything and bring it to bell services to hold until your bus arrives. Just put everyone to bed in their flight clothes. Anything you are swapping or leaving should be done the night before too. And plan to do this all in the early evening so you can get to bed at a reasonable hour.

Setup your wake up call and an alarm too...many alarms if you have them! LOL

The OP is staying at a Value Resort. The fridge will have to be dropped with Luggage Services the night before.

Value Resort luggage Services only operate from 7am till around 10 or 11pm. If the OP drops all their luggage with Luggage Services the night before, then the front desk staff can retrieve it for them, but it will take a lot longer.

I would definitely pack up everything the night before except bare necessities and have it all stacked at the door ready to cart up front. Unfortunately getting a cart to lug your stuff at that hour at the Values will be difficult also.
