Questions about Magical Express

[DisneyBaby!]

Ok, I havent seen this asked, but what about strollers when you use the Magical Express? From how I understand the way it works, you do not necessarily wait for your luggage, you just go to the bus, to your resort and they bring the luggage when they get to it (sorry that last part was rude). We will keep the strollers until the last possible chance, have it checked right at the door of the plane and put below. 2 years ago when we flew, we flew into Clearwater (the flight was free) there are no jetways there, you walk across the tarmac into the terminal building (that was a nice welcome to Florida, walking on burning hot asphalt the second you are on the ground) and the stroller was RIGHT THERE next to the plane before we got off the stairwell, and we were the first people off the plane. What happens in Orlando, can you get the stroller right at the plane or do you need to go to baggage claim. We just spent $200 on a nice jogging stroller and my wife will KILL me if we need to rent one anyway. We are staying at our new home at SSR and we did not want to listen to the whines of "my legs are getting tired" BEFORE we got to the parks or when we wanted to go to the pool.

If you check your stroller at the airplane entrance, it should be waiting for you there when you land at Orlando also. The magical express has storage for carry-ons , strollers & luggage for those of us who prefer to pick it up ourselves.

If you do NOT put the ME tags on your luggage, you can pick them up yourself and bring them to the bus. That way you don't have to wait until they get to it. If you do use the tags, you don't have that option, bags with the Disney ME tags don't make it to the baggage claim area. And as mentioned with a gate check on the stroller, it will be in the jetway when you depart the plane.

Have a great trip.

Thanks for the info.
I thought I was special when they put the stroller right next to the plane, turns out they do it for everyone.
