MB's, Magical Express with split stay one with package

[ChiDisneyFan]

Just curious how magic bands and magical express work with my situation. Have a split stay, 5 nights at POFQ and MYW package for 10 day tickets. Last part of my trip is 6 nights at the Grand Floridian with room only. Which Magic Bands do I use for last part of trip and will I get Magical Express luggage tags sent for my departure also? Just received my tags for arrival the other day.

You can use whichever MagicBands you like - the MagicBand is just a 'portal' to the info held in MDE so any bands issued to you will work.

Don't know about the luggage tags, I'm afraid. Have you booked your return to the airport linked to your GF stay?

You don't need luggage tags for your departure because the tags tell the DME people which resort to take the luggage to from the airport. I believe though that people who do split stays do get two sets of tags (I guess because Disney doesn't recognize split stays but instead views them as 2 (or more) independent stays), but you definitely want to use the tags for POFQ and not the ones (if you get them) for GF.

I do split stays all the time. You won't get your return tags until the last day. They will put them on your room door during your last night.

You would need to let Magical Express know you have different resorts booked during your stay when you set it up. You can call them to confirm your reservation going and coming or to get corrections/updates at 866-599-0951. I always double check prior to getting my luggage tags for arrival (they usually come about 25 days prior to our trip).
