Magical express pack?

[youngaussienurse]

Sorry if this question has been asked before. We are coming from Australia in May, and will be using the magical express. What do you get in the magical express pack? Hehehe I am excited to get anything from Disney I assume as our first port of entry into the US is San Fran, we go through customs there and then we are flying with America West (hope they are ok?) so, does our luggage get checked on with them and because it will have ME tags on, will it go straight to the hotel without us having to collect it in Orlando? Thanks in advance!

About 3-5 weeks before your trip, you'll get a separate mailing from Disney's Magical Express (DME). It will have a booklet with vouchers and instructions, and you'll also get your bright yellow DME luggage tags (they are actually stickers that loop around your luggage handles).

When luggage arrives at Orlando's airport, there are people behind the scenes looking for those yellow DME tags, and those bags get set aside and go into the DME system -- they never make it to the baggage claim carousels, so if you have those tags on your bags you just totally skip baggage claim and instead go to the DME Welcome Center. Your checked bags will "magically" appear in your resort room a few hours later. You don't have to sit and wait for your bags, they will be delivered to the inside of your room whether you're in there or not.

No worries.
