Magical Express + flight change?

[Disney102015]

We are currently supposed to land in Orlando around 10pm, and have scheduled Magical Express to POFQ. Turns out we can leave home earlier than expected - since the plane ticket we booked allows same day changes free of charge, we are going to wait til the morning of our trip to see if we can hop on the early flight. Has anyone had issues changing their Magical Express pickup time at the last minute?

This is the flight arriving at mco? For that you don't have a saved seat or bus, so there are no issues in arriving earlier.

Just tell them at the DME desk at MCO that you wanted to take an earlier flight. I'm sure it will be fine. There has always been plenty of seats on the buses.

You don't even have to do that.

OP, you have a resort reservation and a reservation on DME. That's all you need. Just show up, scan your band, and they'll put you on the next available bus to your resort, regardless of when you arrive.

Not an issue. If you get an earlier flight, terrific. Your tagged bags will still be taken care of, and appear in your room. You don't need to tell DME of the change. If it had been your flight returning home? Then, yes, you would have to tell them.
