Magical Express ? from Fort Wilderness

[aebeauregard]

I posted this on the FW resort thread but never got an answer. Can someone here help me out?

I have a question about Magical Express with the cabins. Our flight leaves very early on check out day, I'm guessing we will need to be at the Magical Express stop around 5 am, flight leaves at 8am. Do they help get you and your luggage to the stop at all like how at check in they give you a ride to your cabin? I don't even think the internal busses will be running at this time but i'm not sure. I'm wondering if I should request a cabin close to the entrance so we can walk with all our luggage if needed.

We were in a similar situation when we stayed at FW a few years ago. Part of our party had an early flight and the others had a later flight. For our early flight, I had arranged at the front desk for an internal van to pick us up at our cabin and then take us to the front of the resort for the ME bus. Just ask at the front desk -- they had a book to make all the notes (it might be computerized now, but I liked seeing her write it down). They were very helpful in making the arrangement and in picking us up and loading and unloading our bags. The guys doing it refused the tip I tried to give them saying it was their job and they were sure we didn't want to leave so darn early. (I think they picked us up at 5:15 a.m. or some equally zero dark time.) I'm a little Type A, so I arranged for the pick up early in our trip and then double checked at the front desk that they had the right time down, etc. the night before.

You'll be fine. Enjoy your trip!

Book your shuttle pickup far enough in advance of your Magical Express bus time so that if something goes wrong you can walk to the main building and bus platform.
