If you choose to stay on Disney property, a service called Magical Express is offered to those flying. It is a wonderful service and I would recommend taking advantage of it.

Here’s how it works…

• You call Disney after you have booked your flight and give them the flight numbers to add to your reservation. Do this 6 weeks in advance!
• Disney will send you a packet in the mail with your Magical Express tickets, info on where it is located in the airport and yellow luggage tags.
• Make sure you have your Magical Express tickets and info in your carry on.
• Put these yellow tags on your luggage before you check your bags at the airport.
• You will not see your luggage again until you are at the resort. So anything you need should be packed in a carry on
• When you get to Orlando, you go straight to ground transportation – not baggage!
• Way at the end of ground transportation floor is the Magical Express Desk. You check in and they will assign you a bus.
• The bus will make multiple stops but they run a movie the whole time to keep the kiddies happy.
• You are dropped at your hotel and your bags will be delivered to your room within  3 hours

This service is wonderful. You don’t have to worry about your luggage or how you will drag 4 suitcases, the kids, strollers and carry ons around the airport. You don’t have to add in the additional expense of renting a car, which keeps your costs down.
