Walt Disney World Vacation: Magical Express

This is not really a secret. One of the greatest things about a Walt Disney World Vacation is that they make it incredibly easy for you to get from the airport to your room, if you are staying on the Walt Disney World property.

As part of your vacation package you can sign up for Disney's Magical Express, and that will streamline the process for getting through the airport.

Before leaving your house, you will receive special tags that you place on your luggage. The tags will have your name and resort that you are staying at. Place these on your luggage, and then check your bags at your departing airport as normal.

When you arrive in Orlando you do not have to fuss with the baggage claim. Go directly to the Walt Disney World Welcome Center. There they have a desk for the Disney's Magical Express buses and you can show them your tickets, get passes for the bus, then get in line for your appropriate bus.

The bus will take you to your resort, although probably not directly. It may stop at one or two other hotels before yours. You do have some entertainment during the ride though.

Video plays to educate and explain many of the benefits and options of the park, such as Photopass, FastPass, Dining Plan, Park Hopper, and many other perks.

Your bags will be delivered directly to your room once they arrive at the hotel. This will, however, be after you have arrived, checked in, and settled down for a good meal.

So make sure that when you are on your Walt Disney World Vacation, you sign up for the Not So Secret, Magical Express.
