MAGICAL EXPRESS

Perhaps I should have put this post before the hotel post but whatever.

Walt Disney World provides a complimentary airport shuttle from Orlando International Airport, luggage delivery and airline check-in to eligible guests of Walt Disney World Resort.
When you arrive at the Airport, you will be taking the Magical Express bus to your resort hotel. To get to the Magical Express you will look for this:

This is the shuttle to the terminal and baggage claim. Look for the pink neon circles and follow the other folks.

Arriving at Orlando International Airport: 

Once guests arrives at Orlando International Airport, they should take the tram from the gate to the main terminal and proceed to Disney's Magical Express Welcome Center. 

The DME Welcome Center is located on Side B, Level 1. 

Once at DME Welcome Center, a representative will verify the number of bags that the guest had checked and confirm guest's outbound flight information. 

If the guest had not tagged their luggage prior to leaving home or at the departing airport, they may still utilize the luggage delivery service by providing the DME representative with information from their baggage claim ticket.

I'll discuss packing in another post but since you are all traveling solo I would hope that you can pack all you need in one carry on bag that you can stick in an overhead and not have to worry about checking a bag.
Luggage or not, you will still have to check in with the Magical Express folks once you arrive in order to get on the bus.

The motor coach carrying the guests may make up to 4 stops before arriving at the guest's resort. The travel time from Orlando International Airport to the guest's resort is approximately 45 - 75 minutes.

Again, I'll discuss dining in another post but know that I've made a 12:30 lunch reservation for us at MGM Studios on the 6th.
It's a fun lunch so try to book your flights super early so we can all hit the parks together!
