Priscilla writes:

"A belated Thank you to Beth for arranging reservations for my family’s trip to WDW over the Memorial Day weekend. I would like to say that when you ‘check -in’ luggage and your traveling via Magical Express bus to a WDW resort, your luggage is automatically sent to your resort. We wasted time waiting for our luggage. We were told we didn’t have to - it was on its way to the resort."

Thanks for the feedback.

Disney handles luggage differently depending on when you arrive. Here's Beth's note on our Addendum:

"Magical Express no longer provides luggage delivery service for arrivals to MCO between 10 pm and 5 am. Guests will pick up their luggage at baggage claim and take it with them on the DME bus. The change does not effect guests arriving between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. (This is a good change because it alleviates waiting around for your luggage late at night.)"

"To me, today at age 61, all prayer by the humble or highly placed has one thing in common: supplication for strength and inspiration to carry on the best impulses which should bind us together for a better world. Without such inspiration we would rapidly deteriorate and finally perish." Walt Disney (Source: startedbyamouse.com)
