I'm flying Delta. Can I still do online check-in or kiosk check-in when using ME?
Or do I have to do regular airport check-in?
You can check in and check your bags at your home airport any way you like kiosk, counter, or skycap.
Regardless of how you check in, attach a yellow Magical Express luggage tag to the handle of each bag that you intend to check. You can do that at home before you go to the airport.
The airline counter employee or skycap at your airport probably won't know (and doesn't need to know) anything about Disney's Magical Express. He or she will attach a conventional, while luggage routing tag ("MCO") to the handle on each bag, in addition to the yellow tag that you attached.
The airline will use the white tags to get your bags to Orlando International Airport. Then, in Orlando, Disney (and Disney's contractor) will take control of your bags. Based on the barcodes on the yellow tags, your bags will be delivered to your room. You don't have to be in your room, because Disney takes care of the inbound bellman gratuity. Luggage delivery can take several hours after you arrive at your resort.
Pack a carry-on with anything you need the first day (along with any valuables, medicines, and fragile items).
