Room for one night before check in questions

[cmorris303]

We have a reservation for the Beach Club 8/22-8/29. Southwest has a cheap flight out on 8/21 and I was able to get a room at ASMo for a good price so we decided to do this. We land at MCO at 10:35pm.
1. Will we need to get our luggage from baggage claim before boarding Magical Express?
2. Does Magical Express run that late?
3. We will be getting to ASMo and going to bed so is there any reason to get magic bands for this stay or can we just decline them?
4. Will this night affect booking fastpasses in anyway. I won't be making any fastpasses for this reservation. Only for our days at the Beach Club.
Thanks in advance for your help. There are 3 other families joining us that are all staying at the ASMo the night before, so I want to have correct info.

1. Yes.
2. Yes, it runs 24 x 7.
3. If you want another color, get them. If not, the Magic Bands for your Beach Club will work to open the door at ASMo.
4. Not at all.

we are doing this exact thing, ha ha. Booked at Yacht starting the 22nd but got a cheap flight on 8/21 so we are spending the night at All stars movies. You do need to get your luggage and bring it with you to Magical express, which will be running. I declined magic bands for the stay but we have many many many, if you don't it is fun to get a different color and you can use them interchangeably. You will be able to get Fps for the whole stay one day earlier, unless perhaps if your tickets are part of a package at beach, then I am not sure.

Thanks so much for the quick response. I just wanted to confirm since I'm leading 3 other families.

4) I am doing something similar next month. I was able to book my FP from 60 days +10 starting with that night (even though I didn’t book any for that day).

Thanks for the info. That's good to know. I'll try at 60 days from ASMo check in and see what happens.
