Magical Express questions

[Patrick Dolan]

Has anyone ever had any issues with the Magical Express taking your luggage directly to your room, such as it not showing up or being extremely late? We are traveling with 2 children (3 years old and 4 months) and want to avoid carrying as much as we can. Thanks everyone!

First time we came in at 7:30 PM and we were in bed by the time we got our luggage around 11PM, so the next time we just picked up our luggage at baggage claim and took with us on the magical express. They put it under the bus and you can get it when you get off the bus, so we did not have to worry about when our luggage would arrive and the have the hotel valet assist you bringing your luggage to your room. Of course this spoils some of the magic, but for us it was worth it.

Another option is to call bell services and have them hold your luggage until morning.

You can expect it to take up to 3 hours to arrive in your room.
I've had my luggage go "missing" for a few hours but nothing horrible.
Bring what you'll need in your carry on.
If you're flying in later in the evening and think you'll want to go to bed you may want to consider picking up your luggage yourself. (If you go that route do not put the yellow luggage tags on)

You can expect it to take up to 3 hours to arrive in your room.

Note, this clock doesn't "start" until you arrive at your resort.

Bring what you'll need in your carry on.

You should do this no matter where you're flying IMO. Have everything needed for the first 24 hours in your carryon.
