Need information on magical express

So I'm not sure what area of the Orlando airport that Virgin American airlines flies into does anybody know that?

I will have no checked luggage but I'm not sure if I can go directly to the bus or if I have to stop at the little desk to check in or something.

If I don't have to check in at the desk where do I pick up the bus and how do I know which one it is I'm going to Pop Century first?

Virgin gates are on the A side of the terminal and the DME desk is on the B side of the terminal. After you get off of the plane you will take the tram from the gates to the main terminal, then once you get off of the tram you will cross over to the B side of the terminal and go down to level 1. Follow the signs to the DME Welcome Center. If you have your DME voucher, you likely will just be directed straight to the bus lines by a CM at the entrance to the line for the desk. If you don't have the vouchers or there's no CM there to direct you, you should get in line for the counter.

You really don't need to worry at all, provided you can find the Welcome Centre. Disney must get thousands of first timers every day and they are very efficient in greeting you and making sure you get on your way as quickly as possible. I often joke that once I get to DME, I can just switch off my brain because the "system" will take over at that point. Have a great trip!

I assume you have made your reservation already. If not, you need to do that.
You should get a packet in the mail with your bus vouchers in it. If you have that in hand, you will go directly to the bus line where they will scan the voucher and you will be then directed to the appropriate bus line for Pop.
There will be a few other resorts on your bus as well....maybe CBR, AKL, AoA.

Pop has been the first stop on the majority of times I've stayed at Pop. But that isn't etched in stone. Figure on it taking about 70 mins from the gate to your resort. It could take you an hour, or it could take you 90 mins. Most likely it will be somewhere in-between.
