I have a Magical Express Question

[nicolewi]

I'm looking at info now for Magical Express. It says bags will be delivered to your hotel within about 3 hours of check-in. Our flight arrives around 9 pm; I figure check-in will be 10:00 or later. So, I should pack the kids' PJs and toothbrushes in our carry-on, right? Also will pack a change of clothes and swim suit, just in case. 

If our bags are delivered at like 1:00 am, how does that work?? Will they knock on the door and wake us up? 

Would we be better off bringing our luggage on the bus ourselves?

We are arriving at 8 and we're bringing our bags with us. The 20 minutes of extra work to go get them and carry them, to me, outweighs the anxiety of a 1 a.m. bag delivery. I have read too many recent trip reports where it has been 4-5 hours after check-in. I'm bummed because that has always been my favorite part of ME.

georgeglass, that's what I'm thinking. Just seems like a much better idea to get our luggage ourselves.

This. Just don’t put the yellow Magical Express rags on your bags. You will have to pick up your own bags from baggage claim but it isn’t too bad.

We had a similar arrival time and the one bag that was checked didn't show. We got it at the bell hop the next morning. I don't think they will disturb you that late. We should have brought it with us but we were first timers and didn't know better!

They will knock to wake you up. I would get them from baggage claim.

We always make sure we have money to tip the magical express driver, especially if they are handling our luggage.
