Magical Express (Perk of Staying at a Disney World Resort)

staying at a Disney World Resort - Disney's Magical Express

Yes, there are some nice perks staying "In The World" at a Disney World Resort; and they start when you arrive at the Orlando airport.

Disney's Magical Express gives guests a free shuttle to their Disney World resort. When guests arrive at the airport, they head to a special welcome desk and board a "Disney's Magical Express" bus to their resort. (Convenient; you do need to reserve in advance, though - read more.)

Guests don't even need to pick up their luggage: before their trip, special Disney luggage tags are mailed out; the tagged luggage is picked up at the airport and delivered to guests' rooms.

Also: for many major airlines, guests can check in right in the lobby for their return flight home. Boarding passes are issued; bags are checked; guests can enjoy the Resort until it's time to board the Magical Express bus to the airport. (Tip: lobby check-in is for domestic flights only.)
