Disney's Magical Express is yet another perk for guests staying "in the world" when they visit Disney World. The round-trip service is complimentary for an indefinite period of time. (Check Disney World site for updates.)
Features of Disney's Magical Express:
- complimentary airport shuttle
- complimentary luggage delivery
- on participating airlines: guests can check-in for their return flights right at their hotel
Guests check their bags at their hometown airport. On arrival in Orlando International Airport (OIA), they do not drag the kids over to baggage claim.
Instead, they board state-of-the-art motor coaches to their Walt Disney World Resort. Meanwhile, their bags are transferred to their room.
Even more convenience:
Guests flying on any airline can enjoy Disney's Magical Express free airport shuttle and luggage delivery. But for those flying on certain airlines, "Disney’s Magical Express" gets even better.
Guests flying on domestic flights on participating airlines can check their luggage and get a boarding pass right at their Disney resort: no airport check-in lines at the airport!
Even better, guests with departure times later in the day can simply check their luggage at the Resort Airline Check-in Desk, enjoy the last day of their stay without worrying about their bags.
Participating airlines are currently: American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Song, United Airlines, Ted and Northwest Airlines --check for updates.
